@katiekatzlove age doesnt matter as much as skill. my brother is 18 and cant ride anything under a 7 foot longboard. a kid i know is 10 and rides a 5'6" shortboard. if you havent ever surfed before look into a board like the yellow one in the video.  it is soft foam so you can hurt yourself too bad and are a bunch of fun. hopefully this helped a bit.

what board shall I buy if I'am 13 years old.?

[andreisidro]

I always think that the first board to buy should be the type of board you intend to ride at a medium to advanced level, either longboards or shortboards. Funboards are great to learn, but buying one for yourself is kind of a waste of money since after a few sessions you will evolve and want to move to something else. Take some classes and then buy your first board. Or if you wanna learn on your own, try borrowning a funboard or buying a used one. In terms of size i would say around 7'.

@ufcbrazil99 i did the same thing get a longboard and get more experience im getting a bic 8'4 and im 6'2

[wakejack]

6.8 is good size dnt forget the paddling and balance on a short board is so much differenet, next time you go surfing hire a hard shortboard before you commit to buying the wrong size, that way you will get an idea of the perfect fit for you
