Cheap beginner / knock around boat board?
Is the Hyperlite Broadcast still the defacto standard for a beginner/GP boat board? I'm gonna be hosting a bunch of newbs (even newbier than me) Memorial Day, so looking for a cheap barn door that everyone can get up on - plus help give me a stable platform as I continue to dial in my surf wake this year.
Looks like I missed out on the '12 Broadcast closeout at evo's outlet. Any other suggestions on a board or source? Thanks.

I'd steer you to the LF Doum model. For $50 more, I think it on get a much better board.

Or, 2012 closeout for less than 2013 Broadcast

Since I'm a bigger guy I started with a hyperlite landlock, which has served as my board and the boat board the last 2 seasons. Most of my friends have learned how to surf on it, very stable board. This year I've upgraded to the danielo pro carbon xl, only a select few of my buddies are going to ride that!

I wanna say I read here somewhere if you remove the outer fins or the middle fin on your Broadcast it makes for a different ride... Can someone clarify on this, as I also use the broadcast as my boat board for everyone to use....

Sure, with any multiple fin setup board, adding and removing, as well changing the size of fins will change the ride characteristics. On a broadcast, it will be locked in/stable with all 3, looser with the outer 2 only and break away the easiest with only 1 in the middle.
