Hallo Rocket,
It's a pretty board that has good dimensions and additional bits. But, it is far more $$ than i care to spend. I have that very same bag. I got it new for $48 in Los Angeles. I have the very same fins. I got them for "free" at a surfing movie night raffle in Santa Barbara. (I think $5 got 7 tickets and 5 were winners.)
I've got a wonderful Freeline 9 ft board shaped by John Mel in Santa Cruz. I bought it used for $375 in Santa Cruz and that included good main skeg and side bites and a cheap leash. It's plain white, so it is not as pretty as the blue board you are looking at. (But, it is a John Mel board)
That board you're looking at is described as a double concave nose rider. That will make it cost more than standard longboard. Do you need / are you ready for a nose rider?
