Hyperlite Coex and Broadcast

[wolfeman131]

Arent those boards foam based? I wouldnt dare use a foam based board for a beginner. Way too fragile. And people dont realize this, and throw them around and dent them.

Just had a friend buy a nice foam based board, and despite everyone treating it like royalty and it staying in a case, we noticed after 2 weeks of riding, there are dents all over it.

You can easily get broadcast and other hyperlites used for cheap. I spent $165 on a brand new coex on sale, and $140 on the used broadcast.

LakeWakes are foam based but are in no way "fragile." My girls are 9 & 11 and handle their own gear. Not a dent in either board. None of the 4 I own have heel dents and plenty of folks have been taught to surf on them. Some other foam boards use inferior foam cores and less/different cloth material.

There is a reason you can get broadcasts for cheap.

Inland Surfers are fantastic boards. I have a quad fin Blue Lake that I love to ride. But, try and find a new one for less than $400. Simply isn't going to happen.
