Surfing Waves

Hi everyone! I'm going to Los Angeles for all of this coming February and March to escape the northeast winter. I have an 8' Torq (thanks for the recommendations everyone, I love it), and it seems like flying with it will end up costing around $260.

Wondering if anyone has experience shipping boards as an alternative, as I'm bringing a guitar and 2 months' worth of clothes, so adding a surfboard to that would be a miserable flying experience.

Or, maybe I could just....buy a board when I get to LA. Not that I'm obsessed or anything but those Catch Surf ones sure look great. But then, of course, I would have to fly back with it, or ship it back. Or, stow it at a friend's house and let them use it (I usually go to LA 2x/year).

Happy to hear any and all thoughts!

Go for the catch surf board, new experience and leave it for each time over with your friends! Good all round solution!

You can drive an hour south to San Clemente and go to the used surf.com warehouse and pick a used board right off the rack.
They have like hundreds of them, then you can go surf trestles or San-O, while you’re in the area.

Yep. that place is great. You can check their website to see what they have. I am constantly combing through it. Gonna surf Churches tomorrow,. supposed to be pretty big! Will probably hit up that shop after.
