Yet another begginners board question, but slightly different.

[chrystal]

Hi

Total novice here! Im 6ft 4, 95kgs reasonable balance (can stand up onskis, skateboard etc)

I have had 2 lessons in the past using a BIC board - dont know the size but quite wide and was able to stay on my feet - but lots of falling off!

However I the bought an old HI Fly superfun 330 with a 5 m sail which I find totally imposible to use. I can just about stand up and somtimes pull up the sail but the fall straight off.

Is it just me being incompetant? or should I change boards for a more modern begginner outfit?

If so what one/size is best for me.

Ps I live near Southend UK for anyone who knows the conditions.
Thanks
