WANTED: old knackered board

[surf patrol]

(posted by goaferboy)

Kind of an odd request but any help would be appreciated!

im not a surfer, nor do i have any intention of learning since i live at possibly the furthest point from any sort of coastline. but i do have a beach buggy that i would like to attatch a surfboard to. i know im a total poser but i love the whole surf culture and my car looks naked without a board or 2 on the roof.

i dont need it to be usable, it just needs to be in one piece and no sign of it falling apart any time soon. ill consider anything really. battered boards are actually preferably since it will suit the buggy more. also if you have a pair ill consider taking both as long as they have the same design etc

just let me know what old boards you guys have lying around and how much you want for them (plus any shipping charges to oxfordshire) and ill consider them! although im not looking to spend a huge amount to be honest so please try to be reasonable!

the buggy in question in case anyones wondering:

bit of plywood, saw, plane, paint. Make your own. If your not going to surf on it then that should do.

Isnt that like driving around with ski's, when you don't ski !!


Why pose when you could learn like the rest of us ?
I might buy a Flight suit and hang around at airports, dont make me a pilot though !!


Sorry, i hate poser's

And i'm having a sh*t day.....

But if the cap fits....

LOL ^

[goaferboy]

er thanks...

like i said before, i live at possibly the furthest point from any coastline in the UK. if i lived near the coast i would probably learn to surf. but since i dont, id like to bring a part of the coast to me in the form of a surf buggy.

dont think ill bother now though. i might do it with a surfboard style skateboard since i actually skateboard from time to time.

it's a shame you don't try...i think if you'd love surfing that much, you'd do what it takes to get to the coast and surf it? you do have car/buggy... i think i've read a bunch of other folks on this forum who'd take hours by bus and train just to surf...

as i do the same. i don't have a car, but i'd be wiling to take my board with me on the bus, no matter what i look like or what other people may think.

i live along way away from a good break but still make the time to go and i do not drive ever soz i hate poser too and it will look wrong

Hey, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Take it as a compliment guys! I used to get really worked up about posers, people wearing surf tee's when they've never set foot in the sea... then I realised, hell, life's too short to get worked up about something like that. As far as I'm concerned, pose away, I hope it works out for you. I think I've got the better end of the bargain though...

hi i have two old boards ones a H.I.C and the other is a Liquid Shredder how much would you offer for one or both of them ? i was looking for about £120 for the H.I.C and bout £80 for the Shredder.

[Dec]

damn damn damn ...yes that is a bit of a thing to do...but thats exactly what I am selling here...i have 4 boards that can barely be surfed (probably not even that)..and for 45 quid each..

...if only I didn't live 8000kms away from you!

My thoughts exactly.

Twunt! Lifes far to short pretending your something when its a lot more fun being somebody!

Goafer boy: take off your boardees , fliplops, remove your 'surf look' hair gel and step away from your makebelieve surfer lifestyle.

P.s rash vests arnt t-shirts (only chicks look hot in them) !

[Ellie]

Regarding rash vests...

only chicks look hot in them!

Thanks dude, you've not met me yet have you?!

Or are you into the 'bright-red-in-face, bogey-streaming-from-nose, blood-shot-eyes-like-junkie, hair-like-madwoman-on-run-from-asylum' look?

(Think that works fairly well as an anti- 'surfer-look' post as well!)
