"BRIAN FIELDS: Hey, how's it going? I'm Brian Fields here at the Aussie Island in Wilmington, North Carolina. We're here on behalf of Expert Village. I'm here to talk to you about picking out a surfboard and what you can do to help take care of it in the meantime. Wrapping up surfboards, anybody who's going in looking for a new surfboard, just remember ,find your local shop that you're going to deal with and ask the people who work there, what they would recommend, remember to listen to them. They should guide you in the right direction. You should be able to trust them. Also another thing about surfing, remember safety. Accidents happen out there. A lot of people don't realize how many accidents do happen but boards they're gonna--they might hit you in the head, they might hit somebody else. So remember your leash, remember your wax and just etiquette out there not dropping in on another people and some those rules, kinda gotta learn those as you get out there and spend that time in the water. So, good luck and take care."
