buy-back for surfboards - Hi,
I'll be flying from Germany to California in September and unfortunately can't take my own board. Any ideas how I can rent/buy a half-decent board (no soft-top) for the three weeks and then sell it back maybe? Do you any shop that's offering something like that?
Although I know it's crowded I couldn't stand visiting California without trying some of the spots.
Kind regards,
Wolfgang
