Best time to buy used (wind-)surfing equipment
I am wondering if there is a best time to buy used surfing equipment. Is there any time when the offered variety will be greatest or when the prices will be lowest? Would that be just after season or at the start?
Will this differ for windsurfing, kitesurfing and waveriding?

Pretty much all my wind surfing equipment is used (I'm still just getting into it) and I've discovered that the best time to buy windsurfing equipment is at the beginning of summer, for a a couple of reasons:
People who buy new are getting their new stuff for the year and want to sell off their old stuff to make room in their garage, or they need the extra money to afford the newer stuff.
The kids have gone to University/moved out on their own, and their parents want to get rid of all the junk they left behind (This is exactly how I scored 4 boards, 5 sails, 2 masts and 5 booms, plus all the mast bases, etc. all for $200).
