Hahaha. I buy all my fins second-hand, and from the US often so they never cost too much. That way I can usually sell them on and get my money back pretty easily.
But yeah, I don't waste money going on the piss and partying etc anymore, I drive a shit car and I'd rather spend my money on good boards, fins and surf trips!

Yeah i get that, funny how every time you go to spend money on something it's comparable with a surfing item. I bought my hellrazor instead of fixing my car, the pay out with that is i have to cycle 150 miles a week...i live 200 yards from the beach so no big deal. Parents cars drive better anyway!Originally Posted by prjwebb

5'6 Firewire Spitfire RF - Fins K2.1/GX Quad or K2.1 Thruster (One board works well enough for me!)
Yeah, I'm exactly like that. Guys I'm mates with that go out 2-3 times a week blowing £50+ a night... I'm justing shaking my head thinking that'd be a new board in less than a month.
A bit of cycling wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't constantly raining! Speaking of which, my MOT is due. Doh!

Aldi white wine £2.99, couple of bottles a week with the missus £6
OR
Asda aston manor cider £1.49, couple of bottles a week with the missus £3
Firewire surfboard £500...price doesn't come in to it, keep the tech and tail pad the same, missus doesn't know any better and still gets some booze each week!

Haha good thinking regarding the tech and tail pad, I'll have to keep that in mind!
Good idea. I keep a cash reserve from all my craigslist sales to make craigslist purchases. Totally untraceable.
