im coming from the uk ! just thinking should i buy a board out there ? is there any places to buy second hand that have a lot of choice?
maybe some one on here is sellng something? i would consider anything under 6’4" ?? i could pay online before hand?
flying in to LAX in december
Not from the area but I would guess SoCal’s craigslist would have a ton of postings for used boards.
well you comming to the right place , tons of used boards .
these guys have the best prices around

Why not here on Sway's? ie: Quiver or surfshop.
tblank has a great point; still, and nonetheless, Maurice at “Used Surf” in San Clemente has a great selection of boards, and is fair with prices. His number is 949-310-6602.
thank’s guy’s that’s great just trying to work out if i can get hooked up with a board quickly around the LA area? so that sound’s good
what’s craigs list?
online classifieds

How long you coming for, where you planning on surfing? You gonna take the board back home, or try to sell it when you leave? Should get a good deal with the exchange rate.
They have some good deals on there.
Apparently, the person who writes the board descriptions doesn’t know what a fish is.
if it has a swallow tail then its a fish , lol
coming in for a few weeks
going to drive up to san francisco, want to sort out a board as soon as i can ! if i like it i will take it home, or i may just sell it before i leave?
it’s seem’s you have load’s of second hand board place’s so that will be cool but i may sort something before i come i could have it shipped to my mate’s in LA suburb’s??
Not necessarily, it seems.
There are two shops witihin a couple of miles from LAX that have a very good used board selection. The best being Action Watersports on Lincoln blvd. North of LAX. They have very low prices too. Their boards are usually in rideable but very ugly condition up to decent boards. I wouldn’t say they have very great boards and they also carry lots of popouts. The second shop is Ridershack on Washington blvd. Take Lincoln North from the airport and turn right on washington. They have a great selection although not as much as Action Watersports. However the quality is usually much better and the customer service is impeccable. the prices will be slightly higher as well. Good luck!!
thank’s guy’s
im hoping i might see something online that i recognise ! dont want to take a chance on something i have never heard of when i can’t see it?
but i don’t want to spend age’s looking for one when i get there!
do you think i will be needing a short board more than a fish type ? do you get a lot of swell over dec jan ? im travellling up to san fran from la
This post must be BS… Whats craigslist? seriously…
thank’s to all the other’s who could humor me and help me out !
not been on this forum much but have seen a lot of nasty post’s !
definitely, although there are still some cool boards to find in all of the different regions. especially certain shapers, you’re gonna find more on the particular county site that the shaper is from (i.e. roberts boards on the ventura craigslist).
and there should be waves that time of year. given that you’re going north, a bigger board is probably the better choice as you can score some pretty solid waves that time of year, especially north of point conception.
Do you realise that the world is a bigger place than just the USA? What may be popular/well-known in the USA isn’t necessarily so elsewhere.
errr.... last I checked (like 2 minutes ago) Craigslist is worldwide.
