Went for used board sale. They had a great selection and very helpful and friendly staff. Employees helped my wife get other supplies to go with the board we purchased and got us out on the water! Employees informed us of sale over the phone a week or two ago and many details were available through their Instagram leading up to the sale that secured us a great value.
