to do when ur not surfing?- HELP

[catcain]

first of all i live in florida and I've been trying to get into surfing for a long time but excuses have came up here there and everywhere and the waves are really inconsistent here and choppy most of the time,

so I'm looking into paddleboarding on those crappy days since it doesn't require specific conditions like surfing does and i love being in the water and having fun out there

however,, I'm just a kid and i can't afford 600 $ boards
does anyone know if i can get one for like 100 $ ???? lol
or should i just take my 6'2" retro-fish surfboard and paddle around the river my house is on??


**i just want something that is on the water, fun, active/ exercise, doesnt require the kind of conditions surfing does, and won't cost a lot of money! and do-able on a river

please help me out ASAP,

Hmm you could swim and kayak which would be great form of exercise, and paddle boards are outrageous to purchase. I doubt you'll be able to find one for $100 since they're usually in the $1000 price range.

paddle boards are dumb anyways. ive wanted a kayak for a long time. ill probably buy one in seattle if i move there.

You could always rent a paddle board to see if you actually like it; but I believe a kayak would be a better investment and easier to trade off if you decide you do not want it. I normally have my fishing poles in my jeep when I go out so if the waves are non-existent I can at least enjoy the oceans fruit while I'm out there (I'm in Virginia so I feel the pain of no and weak waves).

yeah kayaking is the way to go..i just started surfin' but before surfin' i was really into kayaking soo...ya know i really recommend it for that kinda fun...or a catamaran/sailboat that's pretty fun too...also expensive 'n no exercise but its fun tho!!!
