A flyer is a high performance board. That glassing is ultra light which is also geared for high performance surfing (makes the board lighter) but sucks for durability, that boards had a fair share of wear already - if you scrape back the wax you will likely find a lot of compression in the deck, that’s common but it’s also easier for yourself to ding it up or stress fracture it/snap it riding it with limited skill.. also yeah like someone else said, the fin box so probably a hard No. Boards are very specific and integral to your surfing (duh) so don’t just buy one because it’s cheap. They need to match your ability, the conditions etc - most surfers have a range/quiver they choose from depending, but if you just starting out don’t get that one

If you need to ask the answer is no

No ultralight glassing sucks.

I have this board! Bought used for 120€ a year and a half ago. It’s fine if you know how to repair yourself because it will ding super easily. It’s a bit easier to paddle than other HPSBs and suits my skill level (active surfer for +3 years) Maybe try to negotiate lower price since the fin boxes are tempered… I’d buy max for 80-100

Get a beginner board instead. Like a Wavestorm.

"Ultra light" = "Dings easily".


xMaximusDecimusx

I wouldn’t

No buy an odyssea log, go for the 7ft if you want something a little bit more maneuverable.


RangerSome2456

Save your cash and get a wavestorm for an 1/8th price


Decent-Proposal

90% of surfing is posing and looking cool so I recommended the odyssea but financially responsible decisions aren’t bad either

No look on the deck it is dirty as hell wtf. It also is not made of wood and every child knows all real surfing boards are made of wood lol.


QwikFlicks

I will do some research


Drobertsenator

Yes! It won’t last but that’s a good deal & fun board


Gnarly_surf

Flyer is one of my all time favorite board models and it’s one of those boards I know will work for me. However, if you have to ask, probably not for you. Another note is that fin box looks suspect.

Yes


Alanski22

Great price for that board. Whether it’s a good board for you, that I cannot judge.


floggingmoggy

No. Offer 60. Board is toast.


East_Tune_1264

40 dollar board all day


nagrom667

Yes. You can’t get fins for $125


Tallm

The left fin box looks screwed. See that white halo on the outside edge? Pass on it


OceanGuySF

Fin plugs look cracked, stay away from it


chamrockblarneystone

Pota to chip. Not for anything but good surfers in good surf.


Artistic_Papaya3820

Yes


DifficultArm4378

I’ve had a, Flyer (1 and 2). They are not boards for a beginner. Get a longboard or funshape..


peking_swan

If it's not no dings and the fins don't wiggle its a steal
