Hey guys, the grom comes with another question.
I was looking at surfboards on Ebay, and I have a few that I sorta like, tell me what you think about 'em.

Which one?

[IdRatherBeSurfing]

personally I wouldnt have any of them! unless you are good at fixing boards/fins/finboxes etc etc i'd avoid these three.

Im not going to go into the rant about beginners using shorties, because it can be done (i learnt on a shorty) but its bloody hard work!

if you are serious about learning then id be more prepard to spend a bit of £££££ on a nice custom board, rather than a beaten up old thing

aww man i have one sorta like that green one. i bought it from the guy i get weed from for 10 bucks i dont know why.. it has all its fins. i think shipping is expensive but if youre willing to cover it plus the 10 i got it for id be willing to ship it. interested? ill put up a pic if you are. although i think shipping is really expensive since i live in hawaii.

Don"t they look water logged ,if your abienner look into getting a second hand pop out as they last for ever so good resale value .
If your looking for a second hand shortboard i"ve got one for sale at mo but its in republic of ireland.

Mrc, how much would that cost me with shipping to Texas and stuff? Nice looking board too.

hit up deathfrog, he would probably make you a board.

Don't spend 25 bucks on a board, and don't use a thruster if you are a beginner.

Spend some money, and get a funboard or something. The learning curve is so much less steep.

Acutally, I wouldn't mind buying one of those boards and fixing them up....but that's a different story. Fiberglass is a monster of its own.
