THANKS i hAVE A 7'4" FOAM BOARD FOR NOW. I STAND 6'1 225. MY SON IS 5FOOT AND 100 LBS WHAT SIZE SURF BOARD CAN GET US STARTED??? CRAZYTRAIN

Hi Bmxer, go for a 9ft board for yourself, the weight age and height factors suggest that and the young fella, something around 8ft the softie will do for now but will soon be outgrown. My sons are 41 and 39 and I have surfed with them since they were nine, they live away now, but a surf reunion is always a great thing occasionally we get one of those in Indonesia, and one planned in Portugal to catch up with my European based son.
It is the best connection you can have with your children.
Welcome to SW.

Hi dassboot, welcome to Surfing Waves.

I should think the water's starting to get cold up there now. What have the waves been like?

Hi all!

I'm Kate from Victoria, Oz. Finally getting around to learning to surf (have been wanting to for 20yrs! sad I know), shed a few pounds whilst I'm at it! Would love to get into snowboarding in the winter.

Hi Kate, welcome to Surfing Waves!
Plenty of good waves in Victoria for you, then off to Thredbo for the winter!

Sounds like a plan to me! Got myself organised with a couple of lessons down at Torquay and a weeks holiday in Dec, just hope the weather's generous to me!
