Surf board question - Beyond Tiki

They are used for rentals a lot and some guys here have them. Pretty forgiving and durable. If you haven't surfed I would suggest a lesson or two. The key to surfing is being a strong swimmer. Many places rent boards, you may want to find a small day and rent something to try surfing. The ocean can give you a thrashing so by taking a lesson they will give you lowdown on water safety. Rips, undertows, reefs, lineups... all good stuff to know. For a 9'2" South Point longboard your looking at an East Coast price of $789 new. Start scouting the used board sections of shops or check out yard sales... always a lot of boards in Florida. Like carving, its going to take a while to get it wired. :wink:
