just wondering why companies say "this is not beginner board". what if newby uses it to learn. Some learn with Jaime pro and work. R large boards good for learning than pro boards? Or they just wanna say "My board is for professionals".

nah - pro means extra $$$ usually
seriously though, some boards are more technical to ride than others, especially if they are shorter / narrower.

i guess theres no such thing as a "pro board" but some will be better then others with the construction ans yes bigger boards will be easier to learn on then smaller ones as they have more flotation surface

"pro" usually directs toward a hard core/technical product, NOT always more expensive and also not always a more technical one either... BUT most importantly has been designed from the major imputs of the pro rider...
For example our best pro boards are not the most expencive boards in our range, in fact their in the middle !, however the "pro" board is harder wearing, more robust. It has less flex, more pop and a much much higher break strength to it, double in fact of the more expencive boards in our range. The board is less forgiving in choppy conditions and realy suited to the wake style riders who dig deep when loading up for pop. It can handle grinding, sliding and most other things reg boards cant.
