It'd be hard to beat the 6' NSP fish as your first board, especially if you can get it used. Price/utility ratio is really good. The board is quite a bit of fun, also stable, good low end, semi-indestructable. Good first board, imo. Great for our little waves, too, imo. I got one from Suncoast Surf Shop for less than 275 that had a slight blemish on it.
I personally can't imagine spending 700 or more for a new "kite surf board".
I have 3 used boards all for less 600 total.
