Hey guys i'v been kite surfing for quite a while now and keen to start surfing.

I have no probs riding a wave with my kite loose but need to learn to paddle and stand up. Looking at getting a short board, need to know what size would be good. I don't mind if it will take me a while to get the hang of since it will be a small board for a beginner i guess. I'm 170cm 65kg.

Any suggestions?

I'm about your height and weight and surf around 5'8". Sometimes smaller, sometime bigger depending on where and what.

If you're starting out I'd go with maybe 6'2" and at around 19" wide to give you some balance and stabilize your paddling.

Maybe best bet is to go into a surf store that has actual surfers that work there and ask them. Seeing and talking to you in person and knowing the local breaks might make it easier to give a better suggestion.
