I’ve only recently started to learn how to surf after a week long surfing camp I decided that I wanted to buy a fiberglass board. I knew nothing about hard boards and after consulting some family friends on buying tips, I had a plan and a place and I was good to go.

At 6’6, 19 inches wide, 2¾ thick, it was not a “pro” board but he explained that speed was not as important as buoyancy when you first start and after explaining a few more things was set for the purchase.
