Advice Requests
: "I’ve never surfed before but I’m convinced on not buying a soft top. I’m a 19 year old female 171cm and 59kg. Is it reasonable for me to just buy a shorter board? I was considering a 7’6 NUU Socialight can anyone help me? I don’t want to get hurt is it really that dangerous to get a shorter board?"
