We have a number of Surf Boards for sale. These are all Vision soft boards, (very similar to Swell boards) and, as is standard with all surf school boards at the end of a season, need drying out and some minor repairs. I’m happy to do these repairs once the boards are dry. They can either stay here and be dried out and repaired, (plan is to do this before Christmas) or they can be taken now, dried out over the coldest months and then repaired. As personal use surfboards, I would expect all of these boards to have a good few years use left in them. Details are as follows:

1 x 9ft, 3yrs old (new £268.80), £76
1 x 9ft, 3yrs old (new £268.80), £80
4 x 9ft, 2yrs old (new £268.80), £101

Please give me a call I you’d like to come and have a look. Obviously I can only offer these on a first come first served basis.
