Q: Hey... im a little under 6 feet and very slim what size shortboard should i be looking at... does it matter??
A: actually, you can get shortboards taller or shorter than you. for a beginner, you should get a board that is taller than you. only get a board that is shorter than you if you are like a pro and have been shortboarding for a while. for a beginner shortboarder, you should get a board around the 6'3" to 6'6" range, but for the best results go to a surf shop. the guys there will get you the right size board. so just go to a surf shop and they will take care of you
