Hey guys,

I am thinking of getting my wife a women's specific surf board. She has recently showed more interest in surfing and I'd like to encourage/ make it as easy as possible for her to enjoy it. She is 125 lbs and 5'6" tall. She is athletic and is very comfortable on a wake skate. She does not have any surfing experience but can get up and stay on the rope, although she has a bit to go in leading the wave and her positioning on the board. She is currently using a hyperlite broadcast and does ok, but I suspect the board's size is making it a little more difficult.

I have no idea on whether I should put her on a skim or surf style board.

Let me know your thoughts.

Gotta try both styles. Hard to recommend one until you have some idea what she would like. My girls are riding a Victoria Pixie-- the one Bri Chimel rides. Picked it up about a month ago and they won't ride anything else anymore.
