hey
im a big surfer girl and have been surfing for three years now
for a beginner, i would sugest anywhere from 7'0 to 7'6. As for price range, if you buying from a shop, it reallydepends on where you live. If your living on the coast, the surfboards are going to be a lot more expensive, an if you live on the coast a bit cheaper and you might even get a discount, depending on how close you get to the staff while looking for your board.
really good beginner brands are BIC,

and blue
The blue boards are glass and foam and require a bit more matinance because they are more fragile, but they are moch lighter, have better bouyancy, and after you use it for a long time, they even star to kind of mold to your feet.
the other two boards i suggested are made from pvc and are pretty much indistructable.
this was my first board and it turned out great for me.(if you get one though,i suggest going to your local shop and asking about matenance and loading and stuff0
