As a new surfer, you will want a board that has plenty of stability and volume. It should be around 7-8 feet and around 22 inches wide and 3 inches thick. A board this size will provide plenty of volume, this ensures they can paddle. A soft-top surfboard is a great option for beginners

A board around this size will provide plenty of volumes to ensure they can paddle into waves. A soft-top surfboard is a good option for beginners as they provide lots of float and stability while being safer in the line-up.

The more comfortable and the more years you get under your belt, the shorter your board can be, you should test yourself on a less lengthy board to see how well you can balance and if you are comfortable. Professionals normally use fibreglass boards that are much harder to balance on, but they are designed for high performance.
