Hey Matt i've got a exocet cruiser 150ltr retractable centre board full soft deck that we got at the start of november for sister inlaw to learn to sail on and she has progressed so fast she is now sailing on my brothers quatro 85ltr freewave so your welcome to buy it for $650 we only payed $700 ourselves and and its a great beginners board and you can move the straps out further as she progresses and the soft deck is great on the knees cause as you know with learners there climbing back onto the board quite often, cheers Marcus.
