That's a deal, if both are in good shape. The board should be one that "fits" your skill level and body weight. No use in getting a board designed for an experienced surfer if you don't have those skills yet. Otherwise, you could get discouraged and blame yourself rather than your equipment.

More on "deal"?

Just noticed you say its an 8 footer. That will probably do for a beginner.
