Have shown our two boards to a friend, and she’d like us to make her one - going to do another for us first, and then want to keep making them, but how many boards can a guy need - so trying to make for someone else makes sense…
Thing is - she’s tiny! About 4’10" and about 100lbs… any suggestions as to good size of board for her, she’s done a lot of bodyboarding, and the board will be used in 1-4ft beachbreak waves in the UK…
Thanks
Chris
Hey chrsgrain,
I wouldn’t go over 5’6" in length. It really depends on what her experience is.
Go for a stubbie shape I reckon. If she feels comfortable on it to start with she will enjoy the initial experience, be stoked and want to do it again and do better next time. You don’t want to scare her on her first board other wisw she won’t want to do it again. Doesn’t matter if you are male or female the first time/experience makes you mind up forever.
Start slow, then rush…
cheers
