Help, I'm buying too many standup baddleboards!

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!     

Hi, my name is Blane and I have a problem...
I am completely ADDICTED to Stand Up Paddling!     It has consumed my life and bank account.    I wake up at all hours of the night to design boards.     I started a business that could keep me near the source of my heavy addiction.    The biggest part of my problem is everyday, I want to do it more.  MORE, MORE!!!

Right now, I'm going to sneak off and get a fix...   Hee hee!

Aloha,
Blane

Aloha, my name is Mike Pollard and I have an addiction to the ocean.  My toy box looks like this:

10' C4 SUB
10'6" Infinity SUB
C4 paddle
Kinimaka paddle
7'4" SC trifin shortboard
9'0" Stewart longboard
8'6" 115L Starboard Combat Aero windsurfer (with two complete all carbon rigs)
2 complete fishing rigs and tackle (1 for boat, 1 for beach)
10 pieces of neoprene ranging from full suits to shirts - all conditions covered
1 complete set of free diving gear (fins, snorkel, mask, spear gun)
1 large bag full of sailing gear (harnesses, PFD's, boots, shoes, about 5x pairs of gloves,   
            heavy weather gear, etc)

Oh, and since there's not any room left in the garage for more boards, every time I demo a board, it sits in the living room of the house.  Right now there's a 10' Jeremy Fry WaveRod that I'm taking out over the weekend.

Wife get's room for car and bicycle, but I'm going to vie for car being parked outside - it get's dirty anyway.

How long do you guys think my marriage will last?

Helplessly in love......

I have way too many boards and in time will unload a few.. At one time I was obsessed with collecting and had over 25 classics. Now that Stand Up Paddle Surfing is in my blood its replaced the "Pleasure of looking at my Treasure" of collectables.  In a way it has supported and funded my new habit..  A good thing...... Wow, That feels good to unload that off my mind..
 

 '''Anyone care to share pictures of your SUP carrying machines?'''

 I'll start this thread. Will be posted in the gear section, since its part of my gear and transports my SUBs to where I can play.
