Hello,

We are new to surfing and I am searching for advice on surf boards...everything to how to buy the right size and best quality for the best price, is there an off season to purchase, etc.

Thank you!

Landi!

I have no clue. One for my daughter who is just beginning. I would rather buy one really good one than several others...

Since she is only three years old, we are both clueless!

wow! that's young. i didn't start until i was 14. where do you live? do you have a local surf shop?you're gonna need to know how long your board needs to be. since she's so small, you can't just buy one off of the internet. also by knowing where you live, it will tell me what kind of waves you're talking about. i was always a short board surfer, (a short board is for kick backs and switchbacks), a long board is for the long ride.

Actually, we have several surf shops here. I was hoping to go into one with some knowledge so that I do not spent doo much money!
