Hi all. I'm looking for a basic paddleboard package for my wife (I'll also have a play on it occasionally). It will get a bit of use over summer but she won't eb on it every day. As I've failed to find any decent quality brand name boards 2nd hand in my price range I am now looking at the Southern Boards/ SupBargains package, board, paddle, bag etc for $1000.
I know these boards are cheap and mass produced, but seriously, for flatwater cruising and playing around and minimal small wave surfing why would I spend more?
Does anyone own one of these and can comment on the quality/performace and / or have any other suggestions before I commit?
Mate if you have to buy cheap go for a Bic package at least the boards will last and they start at $899. Just track down some one close to you who sells them and check them out. These are way better than buying some thing that might not even last 6 months!!!
OK thanks, I'll check the Bics out. Any reason why you feel these boards won't last?
