Also, anyone know anything about the board I just bought?

That board is pretty old... if it's well used and very soft flexing it might
be fine. On the other hand if it's average to stiffer than average it's
going to punish you as a beginner.

BTW you'll need to flip one of your bindings around! One is set up regular
(left foot forward) and the other is set up goofy (right foot forward).
Unless you are Gumby in which case you can ride it just like it is
