If I were you I'd do a local search - shops often have a bit on their site for secondhand boards (either being sold by them, or by the great unwashed).

What kind of board are you looking for....?

Ebay! But also look at spider boards they have their main shop in braunton and last time i was there all boards were £250 :shock:
Ive also heard good things about HAK boards(no doubt will be getting some stick for that comment-but you get a lot for your money) which are dirt cheap on ebay.

Or why not smile nicely at kitey and get him to build you something a little different like a fatboyflyer with a 'long board' centre fin box and a couple of side biters(in pink) would be intereasting to ride.

The mans a pure genious! was out on new years day surfing a frontside point break and my board handled like such a dream!

Just thought Id add. Once Brent sells the board and sends the money to your UK bank account, they will charge Brent a small amount like £10 to send + process it and then he will be charged something like £8.50 (depending on the £ to AUS$ rate) for converting it . So when you receive the money it will be a little less.

Please tell, are you looking at something like a largeish fairly wide shortboard, with a small amount of entry rocker,zero tail rocker a very flat bottom and a little swallow tail, would be fun hey?

Ha ha ha gotta wait for the board to actually be sold first!

And if i can get the money together of course i'll be asking Kitey to shape me something, and as i have no idea what i want i'd ask him to suprise me!

I already have one pink board though, i want the next one to be blue.

Well, it's all right there...

Don't bother with a 2nd hand board; especially if you can get one made just for you!
