So many boards..............

Post by Hans » Monday 13 December 2004, 19:12

Hi, Harald
What's far.................. In a 8 hours drive you are in the snow. When I was alone I went four to five times to the snow. With family now it's just harder to get some sparetime. But I am just infected by this sport. And I am just having fun with several boards. That's the only reason. Different boards for different kind of conditions. With windsurfing I also had three boards and six sails.

Greets, Hans.

Hey Harald,

Never forget, what you have to get from far, tastes twice as good :wink:

And when it comes to Alpineboarding, for me it´s difficult to sell my equipment cause it´s not much worth on the market so I much rather collect the boards.
One time I had this Burton M5 (Goofy) and sold it for way to few bucks, so never again.

Hope this answer helps you in your quest, what does Flatlanders drive :wink:

Anyway; ´our´ Nicolien Sauerbreij kicked Highland ass this weekend in Austrian Haus im Enntal :lol:

Hi guys,

Ufff! I confess that also I'm a man infected with this virus(to have many of all) :lol: I am guilty!!

I have some boards, sails, kites................but only I can use one when , ride, sail fly.....(my wife is a saintly person :pray2: )

The theory of only have what you use, is not valid at all, because :arrow:
When you open your wardrobe...
How many, pants, shirts, suits, do you have in it, if only you can use one of em??? :lol: then my rule is ... have all what you can! :twisted: he, he

Hans, Lee, Arjan, Sito, Rietszhcel, Pokkis, and all other carving passionates,
Thanks, thanks, and thanks again :!: You have all answered my question. It is all about passion and passion cannot be understood by "logic" and "reason". I really admire you that do not think 8 hours drive is far away. To me it is. I also understand that you keep equipment because it is difficult to sell. My own basement looks like a ski museum with skis that once were too good to sell for the price I got. Now, they are too old fashioned and will never be used, still looks too good to throw away. So keep on cultivating the passion. Even the carving sport itself cannot be explained by logic. Running down slopes and mountains sideways on a narrow stick with the feet fixed to it sounds completely silly in "rational" and logic terms, still it is great fun. That is all. See you at the slopes :hello:
