I am a relative beginner at surfing but have been making slow steady progress over the last 6 months.

Bosu training has been really useful, and I am thinking of adding surf skating to it. 

I want a beginner set-up, as context I am 6ft1 and about 80kg, used to skate a bit when I was younger but it's now 30 years in the past so I'm basically starting from scratch. I am in the UK.

Would a board as in the link here be suitable for me?

What features should I look for / avoid as a beginner?  I saw a general article on this, but would really appreciate any specific advice.

Thanks!
