Looking for a first board. I'm an absolute beginner. 5 foot 11. 90kg. Live in Melbourne. I was looking at this board:

https://ltsurfboards.com/au/product/genie-funboard/

(the 8 foot one)

Don't really want to spend much more if I can help it.

Is this the best first board I can get or is there something else I should be looking at?

Thanks.
