I dragged down my first 10'6" Munoz from the rafters last night and gave it a good clean up to get it ready to sell along with 2 other boards.

It's not the better of the two 10'6" munoz that I have but after I cleaned it up, it started to look pretty sexy and now I'm having second thoughts about selling it.

They don't make them any more and they're very popular, so if anything happened to my other one, I doubt I will ever find another.

It's the board I planned to retire riding on, it's just got such a magnificent glide and it's sooo easy to paddle.

I know one thing for sure puppy, of the 3 that are going, it will be the last.

That will give me more time to have a good long think about it.

No way, MR would break it for sure, he's been sending me back reports from his European vacation, he's doing nothing but stuffing his face all day.

He's coming back fatter than me, and when he does, me and Brad are just going to surf all over him

The 10' C J Nelson noserider will go first, then the 12 foot munoz, then I'll sit down and have a bit of a think.

Hey pup, no way that son in law I mine will ever let that boy surf, he's got to be the most intense helicopter parent I've ever seen.

I imagine it would fetch a fair penny. I never sell boards anymore. A few months down the track you will be thinking I should of hung on to the old girl. If you were in WA i would put in an offer.

If they don't make them any more and you like it you'd be crazy to sell it.

Dont Sell it, you will regret it. ITs not worth what you will get for it. It will give you much more hapiness then the cashola in your pocket you will forget about in once week. You certainly wont forget about that board in one week.

That's a coincidence, the reason I want the 12'er out is because I can't do anything in the garage while it's in there

OBCT,

I have a great idea, because I am such a goood guy, I am trusting, I take care of my things. I will hold onto the 10'6 for you until you retire, then when you retire I will pass the torch back to the gracious owner.

Sound like a plan ??

I don't know what to say McH, I'm starting to get a bit misty eyed at the magnitude of your generosity, but I just couldn't do it

I would feel like I was just taking advantage of your good nature

Your sales strategy is a psychological tour de force.

My Generosity is for giving. Some like to think of me like a Dalai Lama esque character. It is merely impossible to take advantage of my good nature. I have too much to give.

Actually, I won't be selling any of them, I'm a crap salesperson, a friend who owns a surf shop will sell them on assignment for me.

OB, I'm watching you..... Still stuffing my face over here, which is good because I'll need to do a lot of surfing to get back into Spring when I get home. Oh, and tell that son in law of yours to pull his farking head in. Pease don't tell me he's going to set up a game of musical chairs where every child gets a chair?

See you in September!

Mate, I just read your last story from Vienna and saw the size of that pigs trotter you were shoving down your throat, I tell you, that Diverse will sink to the bottom once you get on it

Hey good news, the youngest daughter just got engaged, all that hinting I did with her boyfriend finally paid off (eg, get you finger out of your arse and marry this girl you lazy good for nothing twat).

I guess I'm going to have to get a job now to pay for the wedding

You would have had a good laugh at me today, I went in at the Roy, it was struggling to make a 1 foot and I ended up getting out of the water with blood all over my face from a hit I took across the bridge of my nose from the back end of the board. Seby and Pete the firey were looking and they pissed themselves. They couldn't believe I could hurt myself in surf that tiny.

Now that really takes some talent
