Hi All,

I normally ride a shortboard, but am thinking of getting a longboard for the summer so that I can enjoy the smaller summer days. I've never had a longboard--the board I learned on was a 7'3 mini-long, and then I went right to a shortboard. Am wondering if I need to worry about width (they seem kind of hard to paddle), and how long to go --I'm 5'5. Any advice?
