Galveston is notorious for having poor surf conditions, so it ends up requiring an advanced rider to pick off decent waves in the mix of most of the poor waves coming in. for an adult, typically you may want to use a longboard 8′6″ plus, to handle the majority of the small waves coming in. Surfboards are like golf clubs. Your son will probably need a 7′6″ to an 8′0″ in order to pick off some of the waves coming in. However once you go to Cali, he may be just fine on the board he is currently trying to use, since the wave heigth and quality is vastly different I live in Hawaii, and I am from Houston, so I understand the difference between the quality of waves. Once you go to Cali, your son may end up realizing through experience, that one board will be good for Cali, while a longer and wider board may be better for Gavleston. Some of the boards I ride here in Hawaii, I would never try to ride in The Gulf simply because ofthe quality and size of the waves I am trying to paddle into.
