Rob its a great board, I really like mine. If you get it, get a pair of the Inland Surfer "Big Boy" fins and itll make the board that much better. The only complaint about the board is that it can be easy to pearl (nose dive) The trick that many of us have learned on that is to keep your front foot just barely infront of the IS logo in the middle. That seems like a fair price for that board, I dont think you'll be dissapointed in anyway!
