When will surf dad have a garage sale?

I started thinking the other day he must have a pile of boards in the shop. All of them different and all with some kind of crazy idea behind it. Maybe surf dad should start a club 100 bucks to join and you pay shipping and we send all his boards all over the place giving are own opinion on them. Hmmmmm

Surfdad- I follow all of your builds. I am amazed at some of the stuff you come up with. when are you going to start sharing with all of us?

That is so funny! :-)

I was thinking about that just this morning. Thanks for the props, btw. Is there a board you're interested in, liljohn?
If it's one I made, I'll just give it away.

Check the boards that you buy carefully. I think he drives over some of them :-)

You guys are too funny.. Surfdad I love all the the boards you build. I know I dont post alot but for sure I`m on here every day looking for the next step or the review on the finished product. I tried to come shake some of your hands personaly durring the NWWS. We made it by boat but never got there by land.

I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to meet face-to-face at the NWWS! It's amazing the reach this forum has. Thanks for following all of my crazy builds and the props.

I think I'm going to try the hydrofoil next :-)

Great another something to keep me hooked. thanks Jeff.just out of curiosity how many boards do you have stacked up? I have visions of your shop being wall to wall boards. lol

I can't find it now, but I had a picture of all of the boards laid out. I think it was around 40+ boards. I've built more than that, but if the shape or design element sucks, I scavange the boxes for reuse by cutting the board up :-)

On some of the ultra light weight boards James has snapped them. I'm guessing he's broken 20 or so boards. :-)

I typically do a post-mortem on them to see what caused the failure - again by cutting them up! :-)

So...there are a lot of boards that have found their way to the landfill. :-)

Sopunds like you need a surf board grave yard. stick half of it in the ground like a head stone. perfect for this time of year :-)

LOL! And just think about the property values! :-)

Jeff if you ever want to get rid of a board or two I would pay you for one. It would be a huge improvement over a CWB Ride!!
