Surfboard Exchange - Selling Your Old Surfboards

1000SG is all about collecting dead boards, but what about buying/selling boards that are old but still rideable? If your're starting out there is no doubt second hand boards are the cheapest and safest option if you want to get into surfing.

Sure, there's eBay but if you list on Surfboard Exchange you can email them 'with a few pictures of the board and [they'll] get back to you with a valuation in 48 hours'. It's a specialised marketplace for surfboards allowing buyers and sellers to get fair prices on their boards. If you like Surfboard Exchange on Facebook you can even get one free listing - check it out: HERE

Manly artist Angela Van Boxtel has been reusing and upcycling surfboards for awhile now. She has transformed surfboards into chalkboards, chairs and notice-boards, some of which were on display at Manly market lane during the Australian Open of Surfing. These articles explain why Angela thinks it's important to try to reuse/upcycle surfboards.

Did you know your retro board doubles as an outdoor shower splash-back?

DIY Surfboard Shelf

Forget IKEA - My mates dad split one old surfboard down the stringer and then cut another up for the shelves. 2 bolts in the sides and wol~lah a brand new book shelf.

The RERIP Story

At 'The Graveyard Exhibition' event night I showed PART 3 of the ReRip stroy. I've posted the full story here because it highlights a successful way of collecting surfboards in the US where the aim is to reuse and resell them... could this happen in Australia?
