I have three really nice waveboards [poleboards] sitting in my garage.
They are things of great beauty and they have carved many wave faces,scythed through many bottom turns [I spent 2 hard decades afore the mast....yeeeARRRH] Now the dust gathers ever thicker since I discovered you really CAN kite waves [despite some views proferred by others on this forum]. I am moving house soon and want some really good ideas on recycling, 'cos I can't sell them [worth nothing], cant burn em [toxic fumes], cant convert them into tables [too much rocker, you need slalom boards for that], can't compost them [100% completely non biodegradable].
Is there a graveyard somewhere that old poleboards crawl away to die in? Should I keep them and like Tutenkahman be enterred with them at the end.
Hi Niall, If they are sailable, here are heaps of kids getting into windsurfing who are after boards. We run a kids club at the South of Perth YC every Saturday, i am sure some of the kids would be stoked to have a free board.
ill have one, i wanna make a surfy letterbox i been lookin for a snapped surfboard but a waveboard shud do the trick. drop me an email and ill come and take one off ur hands...
thanks for the ideas, i think i will make a coffin from them so i'm looking for 1 more now for the lid, then when I am transported into the afterlife I will re-explore the delights of polesurfing on the steady cross-off breezes and mast high swells of Nirvana, with all the other lond dead polesurfers... [at least those ones that have good karma---not the ****ers who try to beat up kiters and drop in on them].
i've had the same problem , loads of snapped surfboards cluttering up the shed etc...get some colourful gloss paint and ya rugrats and set em loose, adds some colour to the dry garden. as for the pole board, they make a good garden seat, just take the footstraps off and bang a couple of limestone blocks underneath, wicked
