~high Ivonne,
a few things…
with out knowing your age, weight, etc, ill do my best to answer your questions.
1. fish board.
these boards are just plain fun, and do well in most small wave situations. you say youve surfed one already, so you know the feel. heres the thing…….not all fish surfboards are the same! my personal favorite fish is Zippifish. there are others, but the Zippifish is the board ive come to know and love.
2. longboard.
i dont know your height and weight, but a longboard around 9′ is the common standard. there are many different types of longboards, so this is a discussion that could go on forever. in the end, its really a big stable board that works well in small waves.
3. go ahead and email your age, height, and weight to me.(this isnt sumthin you have to post here for everyone to see) ill be able to give you a more specific suggestion.
4. stay away from those rocks!
peace.
Phil
