last year around this time I got a nice bonus and so this year I would like to dedicate it, if I get it, to a board. Since I live in MN my board shop selection is not very good. Are there any good online shops, if so do they kill you with shipping?
also could I have some suggestions for a good board, whether or not I get it online, for a beginer in fresh water, lake superior, that is less than $500.
