Surfboard for sale site launched

What started as a conversation between 3 surfing friends last summer has become a reality.

We were discussing how with the GST it was hard to sell a surfboard in shops.
Many shops just do not have room for second hand boards.
Why don't we create a site that sells surfboards online?

So we did its called FlickYourStick.com and it allows you to sell your surfboards for free.
Check the shortboard surfboards for sale gold coast as the is a huge surfing population here.

We were lucky to get a Griffith University student project group to work on the project.
Students (team Glitches) including Jordan, Jason, Samantha and Jaylon did an excellent job

Being a web developer I asked the group to concentrate on the design and I will fit my back-end system to the eventual design.
My systems are very good for creating custom sites - they allow me to develop faster because everything in the system is one of our components. It was good motivation to create a new membership style of management system which I hope is easy to use.

Now the fun begins - we have lofty ambitions for the site - it just needs to help us sell our old boards that seem to accumulate.

The site will remain free to use - so if you have a surfboard you need to get rid of - Flick Your Stick.

Latest Design Iteration

Our web design allows new designs to be 'overlaid' onto existing sites without removing the old design.

The Network Effect

Put simply, network effects happen when a product, service, or platform becomes more valuable as more people use it.

The more people that use this site the better it performs - and the more valuable it becomes (even though it is a free site).
