Utah Windriders Association

I'm making a run to the landfill with some old windsurf gear and it got me to wondering about the eco-responsible way to get rid of this junk. I'll bet some of this stuff will never decompose. 10,000 years from now someone will dig it up and probably ride it.

Call Carl C. first. He's a real packrat and will probably take that stuff from you for his antiquated collection!

Fred, when I was in Hong Kong last time, I've seen a house collapsed due to damages caused by extreme weathers. Inside the collapsed house is a windsurfing board from the 80's. So, they will stay "strong" until the end of time. One way of dealing with them is to make a sailboat by putting two of them together.

Josh Shirley took a couple of my old Tigas to use as part of some sort of floating platform he was planning to build; perhaps he needs a few more boards.

Jim:

I actually used them for land training boards. Tiga's do well being dragged around on rocks and dirt. Possibly even a good sled.

I have thought about using say 3 tigas as a garden bench. one for the back, one for seat, and one to cut legs out of.

You could sell it for $1000 on KSL. That seems to be the going rate for 20 year old equipment.
Then of course they will call me trying to get a free lesson.

I am thinking about building a bar in my garage with a windsurfing theme. So, I am more than happy to take any old board that is not longer than 10 feet.
