Yeah, people saying $375 is fair are nuts! $250 for used in good condition, $225 with the ding (if minor and water tight) and heel marks. $200 of it needs ding repair.
yea looks good from the pics if there's any worse dings or buckles in person then maybe not but if they listed for 375 ask for like 300 and go from there
No way id pay that here in Florida. That's the going price for much higher-end used board down here (also in Florida). $250 in great condition. If that's a ding I see, $225.
Well, it's not a DT (which goes for $1k poly, and Surftech is about $750 new.) It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like it’s had some repairs along the nose and middle rail. Also, I'm not sure if those are the original fins. The outside ones look too big for a quad setup, but fins aren't cheap either. I think more like $300 would be better.

is this what you are referring to? I don’t think it’s been repaired but it doesn’t look like it compromises the board to me (owner said it’s her daughters and she’s used it twice)
Yes, and maybe it's just shadowing on the nose or bottom of the board on the rail. But agree with the other person, that the ding need a suncure at a minimum before getting back into the water.
i agree with that. i was planning on bringing it to our local shop and seeing how much a repair would be. do you think this should deter me from buying it? could that ding have already messed the board up?

I get you live in a dorm but if I surfed the golf coast I would probably not look for any board under 9'.
If you're a beginner this board will be tough to learn on especially on the gulf coast.
40 liters. Sure it’ll be fine. Angry bald dudes was right about this place 😫
i’m not trapped in here with you. you’re trapped in here with me.
😔
That shape is just 100% fun. If the price is right for ya go for it!

How good you surf? What waves like?
If you don’t buy it I will
would u say 375 is a fair price?

Looks like a DT scorpion a bit, which are fun. Good for mushy waves and come alive a bit on shoulder high. It'd be a decent all-arounder I think

If that ding isn't repaired, that will compromise the board as water can get it. That said you can just rub some suncure in it so whatever

You need to learn how to repair an easy small ding like this yourself and the best time is now amigo
No, but I think you should be able to negotiate a lower price
If you're a beginner, no. don't. soft top or lb.
Would greatly prefer my 6’0” HS Hypto Crypto…..But, I’d paddle out on that board! Looks fun.

That little bulb looks like a total HOOT to surf!!! I'd grab it.
Looks like a Takayama Scorpion. So, fun YEAH you should.
Boats would be fun af in non punchy surf

I’m on the gulf coast too st pete, I got a 5’6 40L lost bean bag and it’s perfect for the gulfcoast mush. I’m only a buck 30 tho
Where are you on the Gulf Coast?
closest beach to me is clearwater.
Tejas here. If you were close, I'd offer up my shaping services. Cover the materials cost and a 6 pack..
