ok ive never surfed befor but am keen to start i have a fiber glass hull of sorts which i think has potenshial i realy need to show a photo it's a pre formed bottom, 27 in wide and 9 ft long all it needs is a top and maby a bit of fiber reinforceing on the hull i dont think there will be anything like it if i do put it together i just want a starter board not doing much i think i could probably do it for £75 your thoughts would be apreshated.
ow and if any one has a paddle that is broken on the handle i will buy it off you as long as postage isnt insane.

ill hire a board and suit for a bit just to see if its really for me.

Try and pick up a big old plastic windsurfer.. (they're very cheap).. Make sure it's the older ones without foot straps and make sure it's at least 27"-28" wide.

When you find one post a pic or ask for more info about it if you like..and we'll try and help out.

I remember seeing Prince Phillip on one years ago.. Call him up and see if he's finished with it..
