Help Please!- Should I buy used Comp 16 to start?...

Hey all.

I just moved to the beach in San Francisco and bought a 3.5m Pro Foil to get started in this awesome-looking sport. I thought I might try landboarding to begin with since it looks rather accessible.

Here is my question: I found a good condition MBS Comp 16 that I can get for $200. Should I take it? It's got a hand brake, but I don't assume I'll be needing that, so I guess I could just take it off and sell it?...

By the way, I am 5'7", 160 pounds

Please let me know as soon as you can.

Go for it - it's not a bad deal at all. Take the brake off and you are good to go. I had a Comp 16 and it was a very nice board (I also weigh 160).

Let us know how it goes.
