boards

Welcome. Last year I renewed my quiver. I sold 3 boards and bought 4, all on Craigslist. All of the boards I got were in mint condition, one was brand new.

 

I typically don't sell boards anymore. The last few times I have I find myself regretting it immensely years down the road. Sold a will alison lb to a friend in grad school for 400 bones. Saw him 7 years later and offered him 800 for the board (it was that good of a board and he had taken care of it) -wouldn't sell. I decided then I am done selling boards period.

Buying is another matter. I usually buy a brand new board every couple of years. I am a craigslist whore though -so if I see something that looks fun and I got the cash, I'll go for it. Ranges from 0-5 a year.

 

new board every 2 years and usually dont get rid of the old ones

 

Board Hoarders

 

my wife is so pissed i had to use her spot in the garage to store boards.

 

Well done lol I'm fantasizing about ropes under ceiling, holding the boards up. My lady rolls eyes at the thought, plus I only have 2 boards

 

rope or nylon straps work well. so do thongs

 

I usually make one every year or so for crappy everyday surf, and I just bought a semi gun for $100 from a buddy who gained too much weight. So it's time to put one on consignment, polly the first one I made. It is a 7'6" fun shape, it will float an elephant. Sentimental value, but time to move on, clear some space, and get a new high performance shorty custom made for daddy!

 

Commencing derail in 3..2...

 

Coco HO...................

 

Suggested the same thing to my wife...given the number of boards I have...she said no way...then suggested I set it up in a room with a ceiling fan. Her plan was to sabotage the rope/cord...I believe she was only half joking...smh.

 

I usually don't ever have to buy boards. I tend to pick them up on the beach when people leave them un-attended. they are every where!

 

total about 15 last year

 

Board peddlers

 

They say the foundation for good surfing is a great bottom turn

 

One a year average. Unless it's a special board like a longboard or fish. I give them away when I'm done with them for the most part. There's been a few I've ridden thru and sold at the pawn shop for 20$.

 

Being my first year of surfing, I bought 3 boards this year. A 7'6 spoiler(used),A 9'2 nsp(used), and a 5'6 Wynn fish(new) that I don't use much now but am hoping to step down into it by this summer/fall. Don't think I will be selling any boards this year.

 

hahahaha. I have the same problem...put most of my boards on floor to ceiling wallracks and now you can barely fit a car in the garage and still open the door. I'm about to start moving some of them that I never ride out to my shed

There/s nothing wrong with being a board hoarder.
