Surf stuff, board wetsuit etc

I was thinking about shifting my 7ft 6" Surfworx Ribeye foamie as it's not getting used but looking at what a new one costs now i'm having second thoughts. It's in Bath but might be able to get it to London in a month or two. Where and how often are you thinking of going? Most surf beaches have board hire for around £10, in hindsight i probably would just hire as i surf very infrequently and a surfboard on the roof sucks for travel and fuel consumption. Some surf shops have second hand suits you can try on (recommended). There's a surf thread, probably worth asking there.

EDIT: having a badly strapped down surfboard sucks for fuel consumption but either way it's hassle a beginner could do without.
