We've all sold boards over the years, which boards looking back have you regretted selling? One of a few was my sunset Fireball which I was very lucky to get back when the guy I sold it to sent me a email saying he was selling it because it was too big a board for him after owning it for three months. I snapped it back in a heart beat. That's one of a few.

Back in my SB days I brought this old fish at a garage sale for $70... It sat in my shed for about 2 years and a a buddy spotted it and was like "why are you not riding this, its unreal" so I gave her a whirl and mann... that board was UNREAL!!! so much fun and I was surfing it all the time... Then before I moved away I lent it to a mate and he basically refused to give it back, just fell in love with it and did surf it WAY better than me... so one day he threw a $150 for the board and I took it... but always regretted it...

That said, that board was 5'8" and i'm a fat ****er these days so no way I could ride it... Instead, had a Christenson Fish shaped 6'2" and its unreal...

Wish I'd kept my CW 10' HotLog.

Mac, once again I've been on leave so haven't kept up with the news, I didn't know you'd also sold the ITP????? I thought you liked it?
What were your thought on the Sugar? Reason for selling?

Loved the In The Pink,I liked it, it paddled well and went well so smooth to ride ,but had others not getting ridden at the time probably another mistake or regret but hey I have a history unfortunately, however it allows me to try something else the next thing on my mind, after listening to you and others comments and watching some glider clips the Sugar only this morning could be reordered just awaiting a reply. The reason was 11 foot is one hell of a board to be honest the length scared me and having other boards still unridden it was why I sold it.I've now got only one board unridden the Pinnacle which is about a year old but I've surfed my other Pinnacles in the past and happy with the way they go so no rush to ride it. Yes crazy I know, yes I've just blown some big bucks which I'm pissed with myself. So there I do listen to you and others
