I'm six foot two and bout 70 kilo's and when I started out my friend gave me a bout which is about that, six foot threeish

hey thanks so if im like 75kilos and 5,8 so about 6ft 7 or something like tht???

Dude it depends what you feel comfortable on, its a lot easier to start out on a bigger board and work your way to a smaller board as you begin to manouver your board. 6 foot 7 should do you well but get a cheap old board cause you wanna be off that board and on something smaller ASAP

Yea it's probably best to find a cheap second hand board to start on.

For sure and 6' 6" upwards to feel comfortable. Too short, you'll have trouble catching waves.
