    Nope you can get a board in a lot better condition for 100

    IMO $50 is a generous offer

    A hundred bucks is too much. Offer half that and see where it goes... If you don't have a board, it looks like it could be fun in small to medium sized surf.

    i would feel ok spending $75 on it. Just promise me you will take the fake sponsor stickers off before you ride it =)

    Could be a good beater board, you know, shorebreak and stuff. I would definitely paint the bottom or something. I wouldn't pay $100.

    i made a bunch of money in the snowstorms as well. Its not my money bro but save your cash. There are plenty of better offers out there. When I bought my board for $30, it was marked as $50 on C.L. but I just told the guy that it looks pretty bad. I just bough rubber glue and patched the dings up, and yet it doesnt look nice and has sponsor stickers i cant get off (there glassed on) it rides decent...

    P.S. Im not sure what your level of surfing is, but if you are getting to the more serious side of things, boards like that just flat out wont cut it. Thats good if you are still just riding in straight lines and doing little turns. But just from the photo, thats a slow, beaten down board. Keep saving, and when you get into boards priced from $200-$250, then you will find a sick, water tight, fast board. That's a begginer board for sure. But I don't see Padre Island (off texas coast right? ) getting too epic, so it may be ok. Just my advice. Better equipment will make you a better surfer. Immediately.
