Family is wanting to try surfing. Wife/daughters are 110-120 lbs. Son is 5'10 160ish. Looking at purchasing a LF Rocket. Should I go with 4'8 or 5'4?

Can't speak for lighter people and hopefully others chime in(might get more responses in the general discussion section). I havent surfed the LF rocket but have surfed the Space Pod. Im 6'1 and a big ol 265# and at my weight I havent found anything under 5' 1 that can be enjoyablefor (minus 25' boats running lots of lead).
The weights you listed for your fam would probably enjoy a 4'8 IMO. Bigger boards are harder to get out of the hole and then keep control underfoot for lighter people. Again, know NOTHING about the Rocket but 5'4 sounds too long for your family if you are narrowed down to that make/model and 4'8"vs 5'4
