My 14 year old son has been active in the the ocean / lifesaving sport for several years now and would really like to have his own board to practice more. In principle, a 2nd hand is fine, but they are difficult to come by. At the moment he is 165 cm and weighs 53 kg, but he is in the middle of his growth spurt and it is expected that a Flora board will soon be too small next year. At the association he trains a lot on an (old) hurricane. According to the trainers, it would be best for him to look forward to, for example, a Merak board (67.5-85 kg) or maybe a semi construction board because that is easier to handle now he is still a bit short and light. With his own board he can hopefully go ahead for a long time.
I understand that you are also present at the European Championships in Brugge, Belgium. Maybe we can come and have a look from the Netherlands and/or buy a board from there so that distribution is easier? Just curious about your options. He is not yet a pro, just an enthusiastic athlete who would like to practice further than just during club training. If you have any other tips or ideas for us, please let me know.
 
Sincerely,
