What is included in a surfboard price?

Are most the boards you buy from a shop just the board? What else do you need to buy for the surfboard? How much do these things cost around? Thanks for all the help

you need a leash (erm £20 for a really good one, sometimes they come with one on it) wax, bout £2 and theyll ususlly give you a free block. it should have fins. thass about it.

if your in england check out Boardshop @ http://www.awin1.com/tclick.php?id=3305 ... boards.jsp (i think thats the one)
they have a deal on bics and nsp at the mo - £200 for board, bag, leash and wax. not sure if that was the exact deal but have a look.

cheers then

Looks like a good deal, driftwood. I have never seen a BIC board, as I thought they only made pen's and tools for hairy legs... Anyways, are the boards like surftech?

My grandpa always said that you get what you pay for. £160 for a brand new surfboard is cheap...is it crap?

Does boardshop have any shops in London?

Cheers.
