Hoarding Windsurfing Stuff: Sails
As well as my plan to upgrade my board base, I have a similar plan with my sails, as I have a large gap in sail size between my 4.7m2 2004 North Super Star (the pink starry one with the cool star off the leach which matches my style board that I'm trying to sell) and my 4m2 2005 Super Star Which is a really nice sail.
As well as this annoying gap, my 4.7 is also slowly dying so need to up grade really but sadly its another one of those things that gets into the category of "not really worth selling, its not worth much and might wont it one day" for example "when" i get my turf dog will need a old sail to put on it. As well as the decrepitness, apparently Its nice to have sails all the same style so when you change size you don't go from a small powerful one to a bigger less powerful one (you know the gaps between your sails are equal) sadly this doesn't fit in with my buying things when there cheap plan.
The Plan
I am going to try and sell unless dad wonts a invest in my 2005 (cool blue metallic) 5.3m2Neil pride Zone sail as well as maybe my 4.7 (I'm undecided, see above paragraph). I am aiming to keep my nice 4m2 and maybe my 2005 5.9m2 North disco (this is a nice sail but is the only sail i have that does not fit on my 4m mast).
With the buying part of my plan I am aiming to get hopefully Gaastra Manics in the sizes of 4.5m and 5m with future plans to get a 3.5 and a 5.5 but this is not essential, these to are with my sub plan of selling my 5.9 and getting a Naish boxer or session that fits on a 4m mast this means I could also sell my 430 mast but again "not really worth selling, its not worth much and might wont it one day".
As you have probably noticed all this planning spending as well as finding money to run a van, pay for food and ferry costs as well as the lack of selling things may result in me having to work for a little while before I go or get a few jobs en route.
However doing a normal temping job for a week (all be it probably not that fun after the first hour) earning £5.50 a hour working 9am-5pm for 6 days you could earn £246 which is almost one really amazing second hand sails or food for five weeks or over half of a nice board (or a whole surf board!)! And even better last time i looked most jobs paid £6.50 a hour which means a weekly wage of £312, which is more than £246.
As I said before if your heading off to the yonder to go windsurfing all the time (I have convinced my self anyway) Its worth getting nice stuff (better having it now than when you have a bad back and have to work all the time (I have no current plans to work all the time ever at them moment). (but neither do I a bad back)

Hoarding Windsurfing Stuff: Boards
What I have really been doing this week, perusing the internet for windsurfing stuff, I am planning on trying to steal my dads van and go on a venture to Europe so am slowly getting my windsurfing kit up to speed, by buying kit to slowly mold my quiver to let me sail in any conditions.
The plan is to slowly hoard things when they are cheap and then sell the kit that I don't need, however so far it has involved in a lot of looking at buying stuff and becoming emotionally attached to my current stuff that "cant be worth that much" and "is probably not worth selling any way".
So far I have bought a 2007 67 Litre Tabou la Carve thats been used once and bought for less than a third its current retail value however this was still over budget, a 67 Litre wave board is a really really small for most people, but luckily I am small so it is just quite small for me.
I now have created a budgeting system so this cant happen again, sounds good I know but sadly it consisted of a bit of paper I lost in a gust (some may say ironically) walking to someones house to look at a mast i couldn't afford.
As well as my new board, I also own a 2005 103 Litre Mistral Joker (thats currently being re gripped in south London) for those of you that know stuff thats the spotty graphics year, for those of you that do not Its spotty, which is a light to medium wind flat water freestyle board.
I am also planning on saving some more money and selling my 2004 79 Litre F2 Style 245 and in staid obtaining a Freestyle Wave cross over board of around 85 Litres. There are some key problems with this:
1. I don't have a Job
2. buying things comes allot more naturally to me than selling stuff as I was explaining earlier.
3. also I was explaining to my house mate Jeff in detail that the winter is a buyers market as people are up grading kit from 2007 to the 2008 and therefore selling stuff and at the same time, also it being cold and horrible fewer people feeling exited about buying new windsurfing stuff.
So any way I have put my board for sale on http://www.boards.co.uk/clsfds/index.asp?searchtype=boards my other plan is that my dad may wont to buy my board as a windy weather board for him.
I am continuing the pursuit for an affordable freestyle wave, I have my eyes on a Fanatic FreeWave 86 at the moment as I used one in greece and it was really cool.
However if I'm going to be come a windsurf, kite surf, and surf bum, I should get nice stuff as I will be able to use it more than ever before, however the more I spend the the less I have to stay bumming for longer, so am going to find a balance some where.
That bring me on to the last two board realted things that I "need" a surf board, I'm enjoying the 6'10" Flying Carpet at the moment but waiting for a cheap one and more advice.
I am also trying to get a cheap Turf Dog for something to do in light winds and to practice on land, both this and the surf board are long term projects as I know less about these avenues of boards.

Mapping Project
The dissertation that is slowly making my brain melt. Has to be in just after my exams, but cunningly on my part have gone from being very behind not doing anything this week back up to speed by editing my plans, so again I am just really behind rather than the really really behind I was earlier today.
Whats the cunning plan and could I implement this into my work I hear you ask, well, rather than doing a digital map I am going to do some old fashioned coloring in (what I have been training for over the last 3 years), this allows me to spend the rest of the holiday on writing my report (about my coloring in).
