The Patagonia shop on Ward Ave had a board swap on Sunday. They sent out a email flyer and I signed up to put two boards on the rack - my Stretch 6'5" and Charlie's 7'2" fun board. The fun board sold, but as fate would have it, I still have my Stretch. Maybe I need to try shortboarding again...
A few alaias made it into the racks, but I didn't see any sold.
And a famous guy roaming through the crowd selling some logs.
Since this was the first board swap at this shop, I think not as many boards ended up moving to new owners. In fact, it seemed like most of the people looking around were also selling boards. I bet once the next swap happens and word gets out, this one will be just as productive as the East of Maui Swap meets are back in Annapolis.
And they had some cool boards - I liked this Swizzle Stick (and I'm glad it was sold before I got there, otherwise I would have gone into instinct mode and started spouting sayings to La like "Oh, this'll be the last board I ever buy", "I've been looking for one of these since forever and I need to jump on this now", or this one that makes her laugh hysterically - "I need to get this board or I'm going to cry".
Realistically, I need another board like I need a chia pet.
I'm glad I wasn't tested ;)

And I really like how they've gone full bore into fabric laminates. Gives me some ideas for my own builds.
