Sail | Yacht

I’m just starting out. I already heard that a board between your nose and chin isn’t the way to go. The kind of riding I want to do is mainly cruising, not so much doing tricks and stuff. I’m about 5 11′ and 170 pounds. Shoe size about 10.5. I want to at least get a decent board, not a starter one that I’ll replace in another winter or two. Thanks peeps. Comment on brands as well if you’d like.
