    Hey there, you are probably looking for a standard fiberglass skimboard as Carbon is the top of the line performance material. Also 50-100 is pretty low spending limit even for the cheapest wave riding boards.

    Beginner/advanced means they are probably a beginner don't oversell the skills because you will end up being recommended a higher performance board that will cost more. Look to get the machine pressed zap boards with the thicker core as these will be best suited to developing wave riding skills in the lower price range.

    Typically it's not worth it to buy those models second hand because when they crack along the rail they become structurally compromised and can break quite easily. Go to the local surf shop and take a look at the zap models as their less expensive models seem to perform slightly better than the low end Victoria models in my opinion.
