well it all depends
if your a complete begginer get a foamy - there big easy to ride and safe great for begginers
if your progressing get a mini mal - you have more control than a foamy there small and lighter and harder to use and u can progess alot on these board
if your good at sufing then you want a short board- you have alot of control and you can ride them in any surf. you can do alot of manuvers and have a good time
you cn also get a long board which a ccompletly different styel of surfing. there easy to catch and very stable but hard to paddle out in big surf.
