Travel to Australia buy or rent surfboard

I'm going to travel to Australia in April and I'm traveling the east coast (from Melbourne to Cairns) with a campervan. I'm very keen on surfing and have some experience. I was wondering if it's better to buy and sell a board or rent a board multiple times. And when buying, where do I need to look for a good deal?
