The Idea
SurfSeconds is set to be a toolbox where newbie (and veteran) water sports enthuasiasts can gear up with a decent second hand rig, for
- Surfing
- Wind Surfing
- Kite Surfing
- …more?
With a set of nifty tools you will be able to post gear you want to sell or barter, or post gear you’re looking for. This will be a free service and there will never be any fees for using the site either as a seller or a buyer.
Monies and such dealings will be completely between buyers and sellers themselves, Surfseconds only aims to get the people in need in touch with the people who’ve got the goods.
There are a few resources on hand at the moment that will help you do just that, www.buyandsell.ie and www.irishsurfer.com and of course in notices and secondhand boards, equipment racks in stores around the coast, and not forgetting Ebay.ie.
What I want to create is a website that will bring all of these sources together and make the search for kit as easy as it is to search for a gaff with www.daft.ie, you know what I mean?
Some other features on the site will be:
- a primo “Gimme a lift” section, RSS enabled and GoogleMap’ped.

Hey Dean,
If only I had the time to play with this idea, I’m afraid its turning into ‘one of those projects’ - I enjoy your website alot, its a constant distraction… when I have my research work done I hope to get back to this, if you have any ideas for it I’d love to hear them
