Alias seconded. Not a great board for sure, but you can surf on it, and you can get them for $200 all day long. I don't think there's a cheaper board out there,

You could build your own or buy used if price is an issue. The Alias is certainly not some magic combination of exotic materials and computer designed shapes. It looks pretty much like the old Cut N Jump hollow plastic kneeboard I had in high school.

like what makes some hyperlite, liquid force, or cwb so much more expensive? just the name brand thing
