The Great British indirect Board-Give Away

[jp246]

No worries, didn't see that post - I guess it was only just approved. If you still have it on your next trip to ND then drop me a PM.

Question... (hopefully this makes it clearer for those who just dont get the jist of what this is all about...)

Does it matter what order things happen here?
I.E. If theres a board put up for grabs in this thread is it deemed as 'ok and cool' to say I'll take that board and then put a board up for grabs?
Or can I only say I'll take a board if my board is in this thread already?

Also as a suggestion could we put a post in every now and then which lists the boards currently in the 'up for grabs' pool and list those already taken - with the name of the user who donated their board and the person who received the board? just a suggestion to make it easy to see whats what quickly...

Cheers

You taking this in Roberdy you lazy so and so and so. It's not like you do anything else on here.....

[defever]

I don't have a board to give away (yet), but made a list of what's in the pot to contribute to this good cause...

Might be innacurate but click the pic and you should see it in a legible size...



Anyone know a link/site where a spreadsheet can be up/downloaded for people to update?

Google docs, now called google drive but you all need a google account I think.

[baggins]

nice work with that list Defever - lots of boards up for grabs still by the looks of it...

by the look of that list the rules seem clear (to me anyhow)

Does the following sum it up correctly?

Folk wanting to participate have to donate a board to 'the pool'
In return they are free to adopt any board from 'the pool'

[Liam Wall]

Yeah sorry, I realized afterward that I'd miss-used this thread (according to the initial rules) by offering Pablo the funboard before he's offered anything up... Don't really want to go back on my offer now though...

With Google drive you need an account to set up a spread sheet, but once it's publicly shared anyone can change it

[Pablo]

Hi,
Sorry for the confusion this has casued.
This is the 1st board I have owned and I'd like to give a massive thanks to Liam for helping me out in getting started.
You can rest assured that as soon as I progress I will put a board on here to honour the board give-away ethos!
Thanks

i'll add a board to the list if/when i get my hands on the teardrop by way of indirect swappiness

[danny1]

my bonzer has gone - well awaiting for the dude to come back from japan

[park1]

Gavtheoldskater took the wavekraft a while back, still looking for a fishy type board if anyone has one to add to the pot. would also be interetsed in anything short and epoxy for using with a kite . Am based in Plymouth.

[surfingmilzo]

Got a 6'0 Lost rocket

would swap for something like a channel islands or a JS

Hey guys,

Just made an account because of this thread, but been looking around the forums for some time.

I am just wondering if there is any chance of picking up a board... unfortunately i don't have one myself, but obviously when i'm able to, will chuck one on here for someone else.

basically looking for a longboard or a fish probably above 6'3ish...something paddle friendly.

i'm in yorkshire, so North East really for pick ups...although would be happy to sort out a carrier for the right board =]

Thank in advance guys, brilliant idea, and if i could donate i most certainly would/will.

My 9'6 x 23.5 x 3.25 Roger Cooper is too heavy for me (dodgy back) so Im looking for something around the 9'2 mark. Its in excellent condition with just a couple of pressure marks and one professional ding repair. Im in south wales.

You still wanting to chop this in?? I can offer a magic carpet 7'2" single fin into the mix if I can get meself a longboard.

(Not entirely in the spirit of the thread but have sold all my boards and donated the dosh to Timmys trust and another charity)

[rorydinho]

It looks like this has become more of a direct board-swap now!

I have a 6'4 JS Combat 2 that can be thrown into the mix... currently looking for something shorter/fatter/more fun etc.

i did explain the reason i havent got any other boards to chop in at the mo, but as I sold one on here and donated the money to Tim I thought I might get away with it!

Plus if I can secure a longboard I would be happy to put my B&W carpet here...............

[droog79]

this thread is so bloody great. makes me feel warm n fuzzy and helps to wash away the cynicism that´s been growing from getting ripped off, people being twats etc.. Big Weed Love. (no i aint been smoking btw, high on life mofos!

[jp246]

I want to get rid of my fish (5'10) and hopefully get something mid length in return

Don't misunderstand - I wasn't criticising! Much respect for donating the proceeds from your boards to charity!

Fair enoughski.

[danny1]

I. Just gave a bonzer by rob royal to another weeder without a reciprocal exchange --- that's what an indirect swap .... Funny how this thread has attracted a load of people who don't post anywhere else on the forum or have any forum karma ? Funny thatinnit?

[danny1]

BOARDSOCKS

One for a longboard

I've never understood the purpose o them. They just take up space.

Pay the postage and there yours- established forum members only

[mal-nourished]
