If you are interested trying out the local surf but don't want to drop too much cash on a board Amazon has an 8'4" x 23 x 3.2 kids SUP that would make a perfect longboard for local conditions. Very tough so you don't have to worry about dings, a bit heavy at 21 lbs but at least it has a carry handle.
It's on for $152 USD but since it's coming from WA you have to pay tax when shipping to PR or BLI, after tax and conversion it'll be $200 CAD + 12% if they charge you on the import.
