I bought my first board early last summer, used it for two full summers now and not had any problems with it at all. It's a Circle One Heritage Custom Wing Swallow Tail, 6' 11", I found it perfect for a beginner :). I got it from from [Edit - Link removed for spaming] , a site I use quite a lot now, I'd never heard about it but a friend told me about it and everything comes quickly and at good prices. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a new board or accessories.
