Random / Surfing SoCal in early April

« on: November 20, 2017, 07:45:57 PM »

Hi guys,
I have planned a trip to California in early next April, will be hiring a car or van for a week, doing the coast from San Diego to San Francisco. I'm from Australia.
I am hoping to surf some of the iconic locations - Huntington, Malibu, Rincon and whatever looks good on the day. I am thinking surfing (prone) would be the way to go - a sup and paddle would be too hard to organise while on the move. I have a couple of questions:
1. Would you recommend I buy a (2nd hand) board when I get over there, or just hire one each day depending on where I am? Are there many places to hire boards at reasonable prices?
2. What kind of board would you recommend for these waves at this time of year?
I surf pretty much every style of board so can adapt fairly easily.
If you have any other suggestions for travelling around California that would be much appreciated too!
Cheers
