where to dump a broken board?

[alakaboo]

Got a snapped board which isn't repairable.
Where do I dispose of it?
I'm in WA and it is a compsand with an eps core if that makes a difference

Just "accidentally" leave it on the beach. Some kid will grab it.

Good question ...

If your local council does hard rubbish / kerbside recycling they'll take 'em. That's how I got rid of the Travelling Epoxy Carbo Tuff Rail Flyer.

I chucked two mostly intact boards out a few weeks ago, they were on top of the pile of crap on the kerb for about 3 minutes before there was a knock at the front door from someone asking if they could take them. One was EPS / Epoxy and both had been snapped / repaired once. I'll laugh out load if I spot either of them out in the water.

I was away from home and pressed for time, so I just left it on a skip near the surf shop.

I flogged off my snapped Rabbidge mal on ebay for $50 a couple of weeks ago to a guy who was willing to try his own repair.

I started the bidding at $10 with full disclosure about the damage and just let the auction run its course.

Jeez, folks will buy anything on ebay. People actually bid for a broken mal?

[chrisb]

I think the buyer's idea was that his time costs him nothing and all he has to pay for is resin, glass and tools.

Theoretically he finishes up with a board that may be worth $300 but has cost him less than $100. Very risky of course as the break was just at the rear next to the fin and being the board's "engine room" it is subject to most stress. The other potential issue is the extra weight/performance.
