 Starboard Forum - shortboard mode   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The terms "longboard" and "shortboard" used to be much clearer back in the days when the differences in length really made a difference.
Today, we define a "longboard" as a board with a centerfin, and a "shortboard" as one without a centerfin regardless of the true LENGTH of the board.
So there are some differences in the way we tack, jibe, and steer them, as their design is "closer" to a true shortboard with no provision for a centerboard.

 Surfline Forums - first shortboard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Basically it's still a funboard for someone your size, so you'll surf it well and have fun riding a smaller board on your way to a real shortboard, which is much smaller than 5'6" x 17 for your size.
End result shortboard for you is about a 5'6" x 17" x 2" thick tri fin, so all above is big and easy for you to surf.
You gotta make the decision, whatever you're thinking of is seriously too big to be considered a shortboard for someone your size, and will paddle fine, catch waves easy, compared to what you will end up with if you continue surfing.

Pick out a leash approximately 6 feet long if you're riding a shortboard, 8 feet to 10 feet long if you're riding a longboard (or a gun in medium-sized waves), and 10 feet to 12 feet if you're riding huge surf.
