Leave it or not to leave it, that is the question!
 
I have an old windsurfer board etc, basically I don't want it any more.

Its an old heavy training board with a 1 piece mast and a rope-on boom ... it does work, but well, its a bit like an old rat of an MZ would be to the bike world .. does the job, but hardly desirable!

I can't be bothered to sell it, I don't really want to take it down the dump and let the b-stewards down there cash in on it ... SO ...

There is a place where a lot of windsurfers go round here, I was going to use it one final time, then thinking of leaving it by the carpark/beach huts with a 'Free to a good home' sign on it ...

But what if no one wanted it?? It'd be like fly tipping ...

What would you do?? (bearing in mind I don't want the hassle of selling/giving it away normally (eBay, paper etc)).

My two options are the dump or leaving it there with a 'free to a good home' sign ...

I'm sure someone will pick it up but, as hovis said, maybe a club could make better use of it.

A uni club especially. Always looking for new equipment. or just hand it into a charity shop, although I should think that would be a bit of a random thing to come across but I bet someone would appreciate it :D

I am giving it away ... I don't want any hassle ...

I don't want to be finding out about clubs, running around delivering it (that costs me time and money at the end of the day), waiting for phonecalls/someone to collect it ... it is probably worth what £20-30 tops and that is only if someone wants it ... I'd rather just ditch it ...

It is big and bulky, I am not sure the old dears down the local charity shop would take kindly to me dropping it off there!! :D I did give away a video recorder and loads of old bike videos to a charity shop last week mind, coz again, getting rid of stuff I don't want/need, but can't be bothered to sell! :)

As I said, I see two clear options ..

1: On way home after using it next, stop off at the dump and leave it there (was gonna go today, but not windy enough) ...
2: Leave it at beach when I use it next
