Pass-It-On surfboards?
http://passiton.brinkster.net/601.html
is this just another way to rip off tourists here or is it like those yellow bikes in portland?
could be an inspiration for sways
no swaylocks or auslocks single board but a “network” of handmade craft around the world available through the “sways” brotherhood. Maybe a whole new thread to manage it… No more traveling with a board just a local sways “hook up”…
just an idea
all of us here have more than we need

It would be great if everyone here collectively got on the band wagon with this idea. Save lots of headaches with travel, experience different surf on different boards, pass along some good stoke. I’m sure everyone here has at least one board they wouldn’t mind the rest of the community riding.
I’ll nominate a 7’0 single fin egg from my collection
I’ve got a 6’6 thruster to help share the love…
6-8 Surftech for anyone passing through Atlantic City, New Jersey
Talk about cheap karma points …
I’ve got a quiver of the weird and wonderful down here on the south coast of the UK for any swaylock brother or sister who finds them self down this way!
cheers Joe
There’s always a noserider (or a Peanut) available for fellow Swayloholics up here in Northern CA.
Longboards, shortboards and funshapes down here. Take your pick. 
Corpus christi, tx. If you’re on the gulf coast and want to surf some slop, hit me up. If I’m available to paddle out with you, you can take your pick from my rack.
anyone wants to surf OC or San Diego and needs a board just holler.
heck if you’re in the neighborhood and that hard up for a board just come by and borrow one indefinitely. It wouldn’t be the first time and it will just give me an excuse to build another board!!
The general idea seems worthy. The presentation made by the linked site makes me wonder if a mob of 8 rear olds would be taking my deposit…or showing up at my door with 6.43 in rolled pennies for board pickup.
Anyone from Swaylocks passing through Holland, feeling like doing the North Sea, deop me a line, if Im in the country, there are a few sticks to borrow
This would be great. I travel regularly for work to surfing destinations, and would be more than happy to loan out my quiver in exchange for access to boards where I travel.
ocean city NJ Board… and wetsuit… plus dinner
This is a great idea, but I would push it a little further (or closer?).
what if, beyond sharing boards when a fellow swaylockers comes to town, we could swap boards with other people in our town? I mean, to try different shapes/finsetup/dimensions/styles/whatever?
just a thought…
I can feel a Googgle maps mashup coming on. Click on a beach to see what the local Swaylocks virtual board library has available.
if you are ever in washington DC or Baltimore MD. you can borrow a surfboard to surf the… oh wait 
i live 2 and ahalf hours from the closest beach and 3 hours from my boards :'0. if you are in New York or Northern New Jersey, you can try me, i will take you for a surf.
edit: I am college bound(hopefully) whereever i end up people are welcome to a board.
My boards are there for anyone. I’ve got a tub of functioning wetsuits,too. Ditto what Keith said. Keep it so I have an excuse to make another. Mike
won’t work like this
someone needs to organize the info based on location
something definitely for the resources section
kind of like chips directory idea except expanded.
beyond creating a sharing network
a shaping network where like someone said we trade projects and share our skills and build a connection beyond cyberspace.
Like keith said andlike there’s always another great wave breaking somewhere else in the world we can always make or buy another to replace what we have today.
I think pinhead’s on the right track with a Google Maps tie-in. It would be fairly straightforward to do, all you’d need to store would be the type/size board, thumbnail picture (optional), city/state/zip/country (zip to geocode lat/long info for searchability, not sure how to work that outside of the US) and a contact email/phone #.
Then you could type either the zip code, city, state or country and see tags with all available loaners. (be cool to have other categories such as fins and possibly shaping tools, etc.)
It would be a cool experiment to try out and see how well it actually worked in real life.
