Second hand boards Central Coast/Sydney area???

Hi guys,

I'm travelling back to Oz for 4 weeks in a few weeks time and hope to do a bit of surfing. I'm weighing up whether to trust QANTAS with my lovely newish Diplock there and back, or to see if I can get a reasonably sound board second hand from somewhere within spitting distance of Gosford, where I will be staying.

Anyone know of a proper surf shop that still stocks a few kneeboards in the area?

If you are coming to the central coast I would presume you are coming through Sydney .... in that case I am sure I could lend you something or at least find something that suits ...
There are a couple of kneelos up on the central coast not too far out of Gosford
I have a Parkes 6'0" quad or a 5'10" Flashy you could use ... though you bend you mend
cheers
Tony

Stuff it I have slept on the matter and I'll bring this fella home to Oz for 4 weeks -

Need to get over the fear and being so damn precious about my "new" board. My first custom board....

just check your baggage weight before you leave home - the charges are getting brutal and tears don't seem to cut it anymore ! ! ! !

Got here OK, board has a small ding the size of an ant, so filled it with instant repair stuff from a shop at Avoca.

Bloke at the shop said "where did ya get that accent mate?" I said that I was from Point Clare, and he said "Mate ya sound like the Queen!!"

hoping to get some waves later in the week....

Thanks for all your help guys!!! Its odd to be back on the Coast after 7 years. Avoca has gone right upmarket!!

My mother reports Woy Woy is "posh" but I don't believe it......

Silly question I know, but whats a good break these days for a Monday-Friday surf? With the population explosion that looks like has happened on the Coast in the last 7 years I would geuss weekends have 200+ in the water....

But i know breaks that only have 150
