Hi gordon,

if you can get it for £50 or less then it will be worth it and it will get you out and riding, however you will soon outgrow it.

with your budget of £100 im sure youll find something a bit better that you can keep and progress on. ill keep my eyes peeled and if I se anything ill pm you or let you know at the beach :wink:

just had a look on ebay at the completed listings and the price of boards is pretty high at the minute. So I may be wrong about finding something for £100 :cry:

have you seen the board peet has for sale ? that would be spot on and something you can progress on it. Peets a good guy so might knock you a tenner off if you ask nicely and then someone might have some old pads and straps you can have for free :wink: youll then have a good board for just over 100 squid :D

maybe worth emailing him to see what repair has been done. £65 or best offer plus a tenner postage
