    Default What board to get??

    Well summer is almost done and i'll be working a lot in the winter and be saving up for a new board. My max price will be like 450 for a board. I was looking to get a Exile carbon for a good price. That or a High class s-glass board. What do you guys think. I'll probably pick one up in March when the stock is fresh and go skimming in April probably here at the Jersey beaches which I only live 45 mins from. So what board do you guys recommend for wave riding/flatland riding.

    Yeah thats not bad I'll have like 6 months to save for it and i'll be making around 450 a month at my job and I put half in the bank so 225 for me to spend but i'll put like 100 a side each month so i'll end up with around 600 saved for a new board when March or April Rolls around whenever I want to go and get one!

    the difference between a hybrid or pro shape isn't going to be super noticeable for someone beginning. learn how to ride on a pro shape, you'll be better off. why not?

    I just got a 3/4 hybrid because I thought it would be better for east coast conditions (NJ) but now im wondering if i should have got a 3/4 pro. It is also my first carbon board.
