Hi Guys,
New to the forum and was just looking for some advice.
I've been surfing a few times, had a few lessons, and used my friends mini-mal a fair bit. Now i think its time to buy a board of my own. I was thinking a Bic 6'7", im on a tight budget and hear these a quite good for progressing from a mini-mal.
Which brings me on to this board. Its being advertised really cheaply and its what im looking for, so i thought 'hmmm, could be on to a winner here'.
I just want to get your opinion on the condition of it. It has loads of superficial dents on it, nothing too serious i dont think and again i emphasise, it is really cheap.
Heres some pics:

Cheers

Blimey, thats beaten up for a pop-out! :shock:

Proof that you can ding 'em after all :lol:

As long as none of those dings have gone through the shell (whats the right word on a pop-out?) then you should be okay. I wouldnt pay much for it though.

If you have only been surfing a few times and had a few lessons i'd steer well clear of that board. I think you need something bigger. Obviously its all about hight weight and ability, but unless your a grom i wouldn't bother.

do you think £60 for its ok, or is that still a bit much considering the condition of it??
cheers.

£60 - personally, I'd spend a bit more and get something in better nick .........

Hey, I'm a little late on the reply but...

It's got quite a few dents on the bottom.

But, for 60 pounds I'd say go for it. It'll probably be a good transition board and you're saving a good bit of money to get a real nice one after this.
