I've ridden all types of boards but there is one style that keeps dragging me back like a bad addiction that I just can't give up. Yes its longboarding. The question for you guys is I'm after a board thats not going to break the bank but will perform pretty well for times when I'm over the SUP or the paddle breaks. I'd like to use it at places like Kingy, Talle, Coolie if I can get my head around the crowd and the occasional beach break. Cheers for the board advice guys

Geez another sweeper dropout

First up your happy to folk out 500 for your extended arm/paddle and another 15 to 1800 for a piece of plastic and you want a cheap longboard ffs your smarter than that adapt.

1 to 1500 and you can order a custom whatever board you want whatever colour you like.

Welcome and good to see your eyes are wide open

i would be looking to spend a touch more for a mal- second hand thou.

but i need to not spend any money on boards for a few months.

Maybe they found out what there hands are for

The same thing happened with the goat boaters in the 80s around here, they all bought skis got back into it and then rode LBs. it was a shame cause nothing funnier as a teenager than seeing a older gentlemen strapped in having a good solid beachies unload in front of him, or the real gem was when they went backwards over the falls strapped in but I do remember a few guys around here that we're pretty good on them, airs etc. I think surfest even had a wave ski division for a few years.

Just for old times sake here are some ski rider wipeouts.

i reckon sometimes you've got to take a backward step, that would be long boarding, to realise and fully enoy a superior style of surfing, what would be supping

Not the only one mac.
I love SUPing - just don't want to talk about it all the time.
Just don't care what the new Glide looks like or who won what contest somewhere. No disrespect to that room - just not into it much.
Sorry I mentioned that 'S' word again.

Yeah I know 62Mac, nothing good is cheap. I'm not jumping ship completely just know how much Longboarding helped my short boarding and was curious on whether it would do the same for SUP. But its also great to diversify and not get trapped in a single style of surfing. Plus I like the more relaxed style that comes with Longboarding at times.
