Second Hand LongBoards / MiniMals?

[HawaiiCalls]

Hey You Guys ,

Would It Be Better For Me To Buy A Second Hand LongBoard oTHER tHAN A Brand New One?

Do Any Of You Know Where I Could Buy A Nice Second Hand One Around The 100 - 200 Mark? Or Any Websites?

Thanks

well.... new is always better...

are you new to surfing? if so i would just buy a junker that still has life in it then get used to it.. and eventually move up to something you're proud of.

Well, I don't know whether I can agree with Greg that, "new is always better." I buy most everything used - surfboards, wet suits, automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, houses, some tools, some automotive parts, and more. A savvy buyer can find good quality used stuff at a good price. Even my wife's Christmas present, a pretty red 9ft longboard, was used. It was advertised as excellant condition and it was. The price was low. My wife stood up it on the first wave she caught on Christmas morning.
