Help me pick a new longboard.

I'm 172cm and 62kg. So my surfing holiday starts next weekend and I will need to buy a board for 3 weeks as the cost to rent one will be equivalent in buying a brand new one. I wanted to buy the same Torq 9" longboard I have but I couldn't find a second hand one.

I will sell it when I leave.

I'm searching craigslists and there's only a few options in the area.

8"6 performance longboard $160 but in terrible condition

9'0 $390

9" Stewart $295

Or should I just wait until I get there and go through all the surf shops to find something I like? Brand new Torq 9" is $550 and I think I will make a huge lost if I buy a brand new board.

The Stewart is a good board from all accounts; no idea if the pricing is fair but it looks pretty good. The other long board looks ok as well.

Surf shops will almost always have a second hand section, but they tend to be a little bit more expensive and (at least in Australia) tend to be 90% shortboards with only a few longer boards.

I'm leaning towards Stewart too. I don't know much about boards so I think I should get this one as it is a well known brand. However I don't want to be paying too much for it as I'll have to sell it at the end of the holiday. I'd say it will be okay if I lose around $100 or the depreciation after a month.
