what can you do with old windsurfing boards other than throw them away once their f..ked.??
I have the same problem except it is a snapped board... was hoping to make some kind of crazy coffee table or furniture out of it
any ideas??
yeah man that's what i was thinking.
just seems like a waste to chuck it.
maybe using it for a bar bench top??
ive seen old surf boards used as letter boxes on waiheke island when i lived there. pretty hippy-ish thou
Lawn chairs, seen a model once. One part is the seat, the other the back.
If it's a big oldie, I put them up in Gumtree for $5-10, have seen people pick them up for floaters for the kids at the cottage. One used them for floaters for the dock at a yacht club.
And so on.
Bench seat in garden (bit 1990's though 
)
Stick it in the ground with letterbox attached - very beach house-ish
cut out the fin and mastboxes - keep the foot pads - and repair the next fkd one. Circle of life 
A guy had a floating terase, he lives by the river that flows near my house....he used 5 old boards and made a 3,5x3,5m terase...it was holding great for about 5 years, but last year he had it on the roof when the flood came :/
You could always strip them back reshape & glass again then you get a new board .
I've got one I am going to do when i get the time .

Sausage I'd fix it, if it is less than a couple of years old (ie: was worth something before the incident)
Might not be jumpable but could go another few years.
$100 and a week of evenings is the garage, worth a shot
EDIT: just saw your link - you hit a FISH and snapped the board? 
That could remove the fin or crack around finbox, yes. Snap it, no way.
I call manufacturing fault. Is there glass around the snapped area that is obviously not wet out with resin?
If so I say go warranty - even if it is out of warranty period as it is a defect that would lead to the board not lasting as long as a reasonable person would expect.

Snapped glass looks a bit similar to glass that is not wet out. Hard to explain....
Glass looks white, but when wet out it is almost clear. When snapped that whiteness comes back at the edges of the break. You need to look in the laminate back away from the area of breakage.
See if there is an area where the glass is not adhered to the core or divinycell well, like you could slip a thin trimmer blade or something in there.
If that is the case, peel a bit back and you may find a significant white patch that is adjacent to the break.
IE it is expected the glass is white at the break itself, you are looking for it a couple of inches away, and on the corresponding other side of the break also, which would suggest that is where it started.
Hope that makes sense
Could even use half the mast as a mega stringer up the guts of it.

Drink it, convert it to beer,
If you have an old floaty 150l + I,ll convert it to beer for you!
I am teaching one of my mate (big guy) and using my formula board, I believe he is getting frustrated as he has no balance 
(or maybe I am getting frustrated). So the offer is there if you don't sail it drink it!
It's always sad. Sometimes one just has to figure that Aeolus has other plans for old windsurfing boards. One day all boards will be together.
