Need help on buying a board

[snowboarder9586@yahoo.com]

I just started surfing 2 summers ago at huntington beach and when i first started i used a long board which was fun but i got the hang of it quickly and i wanted to try a short board..so the second time i went surfing i rented a short board probobly like a 6'0 board. I really liked that board and i desided that i wanted to buy myself a board similar to that one but im not sure where to get started or anything. I live on Arizona so i only go to the beach like a couple times every summer but i really want my own board. Whats the best short board for me and where can i get the best price?
( one more question..... are their certein boards that only begginers ride?)

Hey i have the perfect place for you next time you go to huntington beach theirs a little place called jacks surf shop which you probobly heard of and they can help you out with finding the best board for you. And no their isnt a certein board for beginers just ride what you feel most confortable with.

hey, dont go to jacks! they're way to expensive. Walk a little more up main st. You'll see all kinds of shops. Basically, any surfshop there has a ton of good used boards. Learn on one of those, then when you're ready to rip, save your dolla dolla's and get yourself a nice one.

hey thanks for your reply, so are you saying that you can by used surfboards around huntington beach? How much do they usually go around and do they have shortboards? and one more question ,is it bad to buy a new board from like jacks or something when you just been surfing a couple times?
