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 ...

free to good home.


although why not see if some sort of club want it?

Hassle!!! I can't be @rsed!! I just want shot of it hassle/cost free!

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

Can you not go down there and pass the word about ... leave ya phone number, ya not fly tippin that way and someone may snap ya hand off.

Or find a surfing museum if its that bad LOL hehehe

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!! 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
