Go to your local shops and check out their used board selection. A used longboard will run you about 350-500 bucks or more. You can find a shortboard used for pretty cheap but if you are just learning then I wouldn't buy one. I bought a 7'2" fun board for my first board, $389 brand new (with fins,leash, & wax).
