i got a 6`2 and im like 5`5

i thought getting like half a foot would be good for my practice to learn for a whlie then when i got taller it would be a good manueverlitiy board for intermediate/adv surfing.

i need some experts opinions!!

If your just starting ot then its more likley to be a tad short for you...

Shorter the board the steaper the learning curve...

Stick with it for now if your finding it a struggle even after regular sessions then add a few inches on. to the size.

Well, for us Florida surfers MAHALO7stefen it should be okay.
Just keep going out and trying it out........over time you will know.
Or even try a friend or 2 boards out there when surfing.

hey well im only 1m 58cm (i dunno what that is in feet, maybe 5ft something?) anyway so im pretty short and im using a 9ft longboard, and im only a beginner and i've got no trouble with using it really, oh except carrying the board gets a bit tough at some times lol

but yeh i spose u couldn't call that board 2 long 4 me, maybe it'll be the same for u?
