Hey Macaha,
I love the photo of your boards, but seriously have they been surfed? Not a single dent or mark on the bottoms. They look straight off the showroom floor. Second surf and my Pieter board has a dent on the bottom from my elbow or knee or something.
I would love to keep my boards in mint condition but as I surf most days, and I'm 95kgs I tend to bang them up pretty quick.
Whats your secret?

Steve

No vanders....it is this one we want to hear answered.

Nice answer.
I keep telling myself that the only way to keep them in mint condition is to hang them on the wall.

Surf 'n Racks do the trick mate.

2 sets of wall mounted racks and a portable set of racks for the bigger boards.

Car still fits in the garage no probs !

OMG

Looks like you have flat packed them by taking the fins out?

OMG

SA..what a quiver !!.
I'm only on 2 main boards now:
Ist..Goddard 8' which is still going great..

2nd.. McT 8ball which I love @ 8'6"





These others are all Cooper retros from the 70's..Too small for me these days but I just love the shapes..

WebMD takes a look at hoarding -- why some people are prone to keeping everything and how to treat the problem.

Lol.

If I collected I'd agree but I ride each and everyone one of them so they are equipment and not collectors.

It's my passion.

Awesome set Surfbroker, would be epic to take them out to a clean head & a 1/2 point break with varying sections to get a feel for the different design traits. They may all be of a similar age & length, but they're all so different...love that pic

Thanks Mick..yeah they're all different that's why I decided on 70's singles Cooper (local boards)
Just wish I'd had them 20 years ago to try them out especially the clear one second from the left, just a beautiful shape..also the stinger as I've never ridden one.

I thought my 15 was getting a bit silly so have been selling a few off but this makes me feels better...

Amazing Quiver SA, and not to mention some of the great ones that have been sold on.

Thanks guys. Lol.

I started posting it last week and didn't hit send as I was worried that putting it out there was either egotistical or asking for trouble but surely they gave to be shared with like minded people right ?
....they are noted on the insurance for sure but as sports goods rather than collectors as they all get ridden.
