Point is Kunji, ask the seller for the sidies (it will ride better on our shifty sand banks. But you may enjoy more as a single...)

I started at 12 ona KFC. I still remember the nipple scabs and chest rash.
And in my prime years have started on the softie, and am loving the softie
Adult learners should not start at all.

You should be able to get a nearly as new surftech version of the some world's most renowned shapers designs (alive or dead) for around $500-$700

Here's a Yater in WA for $500

I don't have one, unless you count the pink soft top. Brand name, 'Diva'.

Plenty of parking though!
