Uk pounds vs US dollars?

[Spryte360]

I want to buy a board and i've been looking at prices online, and i was wondering if say: 500 pounds is the same price, more or less in us dollars. Can anyone help me out?

Take a look at this currency convertor. It will convert your amount exactly using the current exchange rate.

Current exchangerates are in the favor of the pound. Additionally if you can get any US boaught board through customs as a gift then you won't have to pay VAT. If you get that then it definitly works out cheaper as it's a 17.5% saving! :)
