Well Andrew you asked for it, so I'll start it.

My shed is what's left of the old beach shack that we lived in, before we built the new house at the back of the block.
Anybody who used to surf Avalon in the early years will know it as the corner shop, sold ice-creams etc, much before we bought it.




Now it's got a wind vane, and what's left of the anemometer, after the bearing seized.





The old lounge now has a roller door for the car and toys to go in and out.





The old dinning room is my general work area, (new speed board with closed cell implants)




The old bathroom, is now just messy shelves. (Hot wire device in foreground)




The old meals area, is now my shaping bay

windsurf gear rack,most of the time i leave my gear in the back of the old Rice muncher ute which is used 90% for windsurfing max range about 15km any further it may die.


room to hang up and wash sail

gym and bikes

Disaster Area

Muppet Style


The bits I stand on


The bits I try to keep out of the water (not to sucessfully)


The Disaster Area strategically made to look like a muppet has hit it so as to avoid being able to do "quick" jobs



My first Windsurf board

It's not all that impressive,

Some of it's not mine
Some of it has been donated by Hardy
Some of it is knackered (can't bear to throw some out)
Some of it's my kids
Only 2 boards of mine are classed as Modern,'08 JP Slalom VI and '08 92 FSW Pro.

There's a few knackered sails in the racks as well nothing newer than '06 all second hand, who say's Pryde sails aren't tough, mine cop a thrashing.
There is one **** there, but I'm to embarrassed to actually type it's name

Elmo, now that's a shed I like it, particularly the way you have laid it out to prevent any interruptions such as "can you build this, fix that, undo this, undo that and so on.[}:)]
My style of shed.
I dont gota shed any more blocks too small, just a gashrage

Hey decrep, just curious as to why you store your boards face down?

My theory
Allows any water to drain out of the bung hole, plus it saves running the risk of getting any indentations in the bottom of the board from the railing from lack of abuse

Cool. Thats what I thought? And only if the hole is at the lowest point right?
Doing this would let water out while its cool but then when the shed heats up any left over water will vapourise and not drip out but stay in the board? Yes no?
I guess its much the same if you stored them facing up?

Very jealous...

I'd need a shed like that too by now, if I hadn't sold off some of my old gear as I bought newer stuff...

One day, one day!!!!

How do you decide which ones to take? Or do you just stuff as many boards as you can into the back of your semi?

Hey Windy, love the space saving idea.

Wow

Is that a Hypersonic up the top in the back They turn up everywhere

Izaak's shed is pretty impressive, especially seeing as he is only 14.

Something tell's me there might be a whole family's gear in there
