Why don't you just bring your rusty to west coast and surf with it? If you're gonna do that then, packaging tip .

If you're gonna buy one then, try to get one of those tuflite or epoxy? maybe something that's durable and won't break when you bring it back to the east.

Take a look at the Lost line up. Great boards and they know the breaks for Cali.
