If your sweetie is a beginning surfer (or any surfer for that matter), and he/she is looking for a new surfboard this Valentine's Day, don't click on some random surfboard site and buy blindly. Instead, click on my Surfboard Review section and read personal reveiws of boards that I have ridden hard and put away wet (That's either a horseback riding reference or a Bon Jovi reference. Take your pick). I have been targeting boards that are a good price and beginner-friendly, but if you come across a board that you would like reviewed, email me at surfing.guide@about.com and I'll see if I can try one out for you. The reviews tell you everything you need to know before purchasing a new board with links to the distributor or manufacturer. If you are looking for the best surfboard for your money, take a ride with me before you buy.
