Choosing an epoxy board? |
I have been told that an epoxy longboard is the way to go for a beginner surfer. A local dealer told me that it would be $425 for a new one 7.5' - 9' board. Is this the best for a beginner and what brands are reputable for this price range? This is what i told anther guy K, so heres whats up the rest of these groms are just researching your weight and height online and telling you what to get. this is what i recommend. first try it out and see if you like surfing at mellow point break. then if you really like it and plan to take it up then go on craigslist and buy a cheap long board such as a soft top around 7 feet or longer. Then you take that out surfing until you get pretty good at riding that board, then you can graduate to a better board, either short or long but by the time you get good at surfing that craigslist board you will have talked to enough people out in the water to gain the knowledge to choose your own board. If you go out and buy one of those 500 to 600 dollar boards that these guys are telling you to buy you will just end up spending more money because you will tear that board to shreds running into people/ rocks. epoxy boards are good too for beginners but you can still mess them up. lots of poeple dont like them either becuase they are way different than fiberglass boards. they have promade shapes and are really boyant. Look for a local shaper. They will have an idea of the surf conditions in your area, and hopefully shape the board accordingly. That size sounds good. Price may be a little more. |
