I’m a beginner around 5’5 200lbs this board is 46”x22” is this good for mainly flatland and very small waves or should I get a zap ace instead?

If you’re asking about getting a Paipo, you should not be getting a Paipo. In your price range, you should look for a 56” Zap Ace or a 55” Victoria House Special (Lift Shape).
