A 53" is fine. The board size is not critical since a skim board hydroplanes instead of floating. I weigh 198 lbs and I use an older shorter board, and it works fine. Here's where you can get more info on the sport and it's various techniques:

And here's some good reading on the sport:

It's a tricky sport to learn, but fun. You're not going to master it right away, so don't sweat a fancy board just yet. Good luck!
