404 for BOP
« on: September 10, 2014, 11:53:12 AM »
I am a bit pressed for time but am going to fly in late Friday for BOP.    Riviera is not renting boards this year so I need to sort something out.   I can get a fair nice on a couple year old 404 14ft.   And get it shipped home after the race.  I am 6'2,  215 and there to race and enjoy.  I am not winning anything.  Riding a 2014 Starboard Allstar right now.  Any reason a 404 won't be an OK choice?   If any of the Standup Zone sponsors have something that might work, please let me know as I am shopping.  Probably buy used and sell it when I get home.  Just need some help with the shipping it home.

Might be worth your time to look in the local craigslist ads....the amount of boards for sale is pretty high. You could buy when you get here, immediately list it, and have it sold by the time you leave.  Also Riviera usually has a good selection of used boards reasonably priced.

I don't think any dealer in their right mind would rent out boards that will get used at Salt Creek. Gravels is call Gravels for a reason. Thick lip, rocks and a shore pound!
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

I guess Riviera agreed with you TallDude and that is why no rentals this year.  I was happy to buy a board.  Just needed a bit of help with logistics.

Thanks Jay.  That is exactly what I did.  I bought a board from Riviera, used.  They have been super helpful and will ship it home after the race. 
Maybe I will get to demo a Nugg and get them to ship one of those as well.

Just a quick follow up.  BOP was super fun and Mike Baker at Riviera was fantastic to deal with and helped make the whole weekend great.  Now that I have been there I can see why they didn't want to rent.  But now I have another board to enjoy.
