I realise that it was mostlikly my fault by not letting him run where he wanted to. I was hopping for the line to beak or for him to tire out because there was not much room to land him. My dad said he would spot me $50 because that was the cost for the one that broke. I'm looking into a 9'6" St Criox unless I find something else. Will try Sportco and The Morning Hatch this Saturday.
