Here's one I prepared earlier:



Now show me yours!

(ps. Laurie that new image upload thing works a treat! )

I had a look at the boards forum the other day, no sledging from other water users, really informative stuff about gear and designs, what happened to our forum?

So i thought i'd start us on a good path and start with something we all love.
Our Boards.

I've had a stack of boards, loved most of them like they were my only child, hated sailing some so much i wanted to set them on fire.
My 1st shortboard was a custom Gordan and Black wave board when i was 15, 8'6 tri fin, loved this board, Now i look back at it, it was a terrible board, bad design, fin box would break at least once a year, but it had a really cool 4 colour fad spray job. I think i loved this board because it was my first real board, learned to gype on it and jump, kinda like your first bike you ever had.
If had about 15 or so boards since i started sailing 20+ years ago and i think my fav to this day would have to be my '04' JP freestyle wave 91litre, loved the orange and black paint work, but these things were great for what they offered, on the flat water the stepped bottom was awesome, just gripped the water but still turn like a demon, and brilliant to jump, even worked well in the surf, not as good as a full on wave board but i cant remember ever coming off the water not smiling.. it was starting to get heavier so it had to go.

so what's your best loved board and why did you like it so much?
