probably 8-12 a year...buy em new and sell em on craigslist if I want to try something else or if one just isnt working for me. I have sold a couple that were only used a handfull of times...people will score some deals with me on craigslist...just want to sell it and move on to the next one.
Last few years I have bought 2 or 3 new a year and sold 1 or 2. Pretty sure I'm going back to shaping my own. I rode my own shapes for years before my recent retail purchases and need to be inspired by surfing again so going back to my crazy hand shaped designs. They don't work as well as pro shaped boards but I need a challenge since I no longer challenge myself in huge surf anymore.
Board flippers! Lol That's crazy!! Buy 15 to 20 and sell them in Craigslist?? I don't even think I could get 15 boards wired in a year! I- on the other hand am a board hoarder... I actually gotta get a few. Usually buy about 1 to 2 off Craigslist every year...
