Go big, as you get better go smaller as you see fit.

Keep bigger board for light winds

But as you get better, more rocker is also needed.
Hence more length too...
This 'bigger' board will be useless in 'lighter' winds thou.

Don't just look at the length a smaller but wider board goes much better than a longer thin board the are plenty off boards out there, shinn boards make the master jack for the younger rider , check out shinnworld.com
