get a longer beefier board to start. like a 7'2 or something. something like a fish would be sick. and with wet suit and stuff. go to a shop, they will fit you. get 3/2 cuz thats perfect for summer surfing.

hes never surfed before. Get a 9'0 longboard so you can get into waves easy and have more time to get up. For wetsuits i used to have a xcel x flex, it was cheap and sick.
