Looking for a beginners surfboard to mess around with.

At the moment choices are a Down the line kite specific surfboard or a Fish surfboard. I know both aren't ideal but for the price point neither purchase is one that will burn me.

Old surfboards grow on trees. Should be lots of choice....

Do you mean 1st directional for kiting (if so I've got a 5'4" 24L proto you can have free if you're in WA)

If you mean you want a mal for learning to surf, no leads sorry
