Looking for a surfboard?
Im around 5′ 2″ and looking for a shortboard surfboard. What size board should i get? And are there any brands you would Recommend?
You need a board that floats you (at your size and skill level) well enough for you to be able to paddle and take off on a wave.
Don’t waste your time on line, we don’t know anything about you, or where you surf, and we don’t have an opportunity to discuss these things with you. Go to a good local surf shop (or a shop where ever you usually surf) and discuss your options with the folks in the shop. And remember, unless its all you can afford, don’t buy a sweat shop made board (http://bp3.blogger.com/_hPACOtZKKko/RkST…
Or for that matter, any popout:

And, if you are brand new (something else we haven’t the opportunity to discuss on line) Lessons are the best way to start. Lessons can come from a professional instructor, or surfing family members or experienced surfing friends. The last thing experienced surfers want is for inexperienced people to just grab a board, rush into the surf and get in our way. Lessons shorten the learning curve significantly. And they help keep ignorant, un-prepared kooks out of the water and out of the way of more experienced surfers.
Good luck with your selection. I have been surfing since 1966, and it has been a lifetime of fun for me.
