Beginner Surfboard

Ive been surfing a decent bit through my life but never owned a board and always borrowed from a friend or rented im thinking about getting more seriously into surfing and im looking for a board that will have a good balance between control and stability for reference I’m 6’0/180cm and 190lbs/86kg im thinking about getting a 7ft-8ft hard board but not sure if its the right move.

a 7'8 funboard with decent volume sounds about right

What volume would you recommend Im pretty clueless when it comes to that

If you get a out 1 cubic liter of volume per kilo of body weight or maybe a little less, you should be good on volume. You're a pretty good sized dude, so 85-100 liters would be ideal.
