$325 for board with fixed flex damage?

Who shaped it? Seems a little steep. By flex damage do you mean it has/had a series of hairline cracks? How did they repair it?

 

assuming the board is worth it at all (pics would help), if he's asking $325 offer $100 and negotiate from there

 

No.
Forget it.
You can get a longboard in much better condition for that money. Spend some time looking.

 

Keep looking, don't get anything that has been buckled

 

So you don't have any idea of what a good board is but you are willing to learn on a piece of repaired crap that you've never ridden ( if that's a word) Didn't someone already tell you to rent some boards and talk to the local guy at the surf shop who probly has a few wide ,longish ( another word I'm not sure of ) board's on consignment?

For Fok sake man!

Keep working on that sarcasm, Young Grasshopper...your game still has a couple small holes in it.

 

+1 on old man Barry's comment

Certain kinds of damage to boards are just never able to be repaired 100%again. Maybe temporary. Flex damage, delamination and fin box damage are amount them- board will never be the same or strong. Generally this time of year you can find better deals on Craigslist thru the winter

 

Yes Master

 

Put something under the nose and tail give it a good push to check for creases not apparent around any repairs or cracks. Do it to both sides. The bad spots will show quickly. If it doesn't show any folds, delams or soft spots then get it. Gel coat cracks sometimes don't mean anything. Beater logs are the best, I have ridden delamed, cracked and sketchy longboards for years at a time then sold them again cheap. Great to have them around for your cousin from Hoboken to crash in the shorebreak. Surfing a rat rod log is fun and rewarding and virtually stress free. Ride it until it tacos then use the ends for pet tombstones.

 

Yes all good when you spend $100 but 325 seems steep. It would have to be some amazing board thats nearly brand new. I just got a 9' board like your talkin w gel coat stress cracks and the guy gave me a 6'8" wrv for $60. Keep searching or low ball the seller n see if they bite

 

Now, get your yellow a$$ back to the temple...that toilet isn't gonna scrub itself.
