Well Andrew you asked for it, so I'll start it.

My shed is what's left of the old beach shack that we lived in, before we built the new house at the back of the block.
Anybody who used to surf Avalon in the early years will know it as the corner shop, sold ice-creams etc, much before we bought it.




Now it's got a wind vane, and what's left of the anemometer, after the bearing seized.





The old lounge now has a roller door for the car and toys to go in and out.





The old dinning room is my general work area, (new speed board with closed cell implants)




The old bathroom, is now just messy shelves. (Hot wire device in foreground)




The old meals area, is now my shaping bay

With a shed like that, how much time do you spend in the house besides sleep time?

If I worked 9 to 5, probably not a lot, but being retired, means I can easily get my fill of the shed.

Disaster Area

Muppet Style


The bits I stand on


The bits I try to keep out of the water (not to sucessfully)


The Disaster Area strategically made to look like a muppet has hit it so as to avoid being able to do "quick" jobs

Geez I love a good shed - but I put mine in anyway.

Does everyone else in the families discarded stuff end up in your shed stealing good space from serious junk.




The eight ball table can only be played from two sides, the legs are wonky and balls are out of shape (eight balls that is)

It's not all that impressive,

Some of it's not mine
Some of it has been donated by Hardy
Some of it is knackered (can't bear to throw some out)
Some of it's my kids
Only 2 boards of mine are classed as Modern,'08 JP Slalom VI and '08 92 FSW Pro.

There's a few knackered sails in the racks as well nothing newer than '06 all second hand, who say's Pryde sails aren't tough, mine cop a thrashing.
There is one **** there, but I'm to embarrassed to actually type it's name

Hey decrep, just curious as to why you store your boards face down?

Elmo, now that's a shed I like it, particularly the way you have laid it out to prevent any interruptions such as "can you build this, fix that, undo this, undo that and so on.[}:)]
My style of shed.
I dont gota shed any more blocks too small, just a gashrage

There was an added benefit to the Muppet mayhem disaster area.

My beloved got that p1ssed off with trying to find anything in my shed I had to get one for her How cool is that.

If you have a look to the right on the photo of my first board you can see a bit of it nice little 6x4m (I thunk).

My theory
Allows any water to drain out of the bung hole, plus it saves running the risk of getting any indentations in the bottom of the board from the railing from lack of abuse

Yep, Elmo's got it, I had a bung I bought that had a moulding line run thru the seal area, consequently it let in a bit of water, since then it's become habit to store them upside down.

Cool. Thats what I thought? And only if the hole is at the lowest point right?
Doing this would let water out while its cool but then when the shed heats up any left over water will vapourise and not drip out but stay in the board? Yes no?
I guess its much the same if you stored them facing up?

Very jealous...

I'd need a shed like that too by now, if I hadn't sold off some of my old gear as I bought newer stuff...

One day, one day!!!!

How do you decide which ones to take? Or do you just stuff as many boards as you can into the back of your semi?

I made a big trailer with racks for 6 boards. No good anymore. Now I have to unload some and change them over when conditions change...... It's either that or stak them up on the top....

Izaak's shed is pretty impressive, especially seeing as he is only 14.

Something tell's me there might be a whole family's gear in there
