I LOVE windsurfer chancers.

 

windsurfing was HUGE in the 80s

there's loads and loads of boards from that era in granny's garage just sitting there.

 

modern stuff is *** expensive, but it's a million time better.

it is not like cycling where a good condition steel bike takes on an antique sort of value.

 

They are worth about R50 each.

but you get guys like this trying their luck:
 
Original Windsurfer board

 

  • Length: 3 100mm
  • Mast & Boom
  • 2 x High Performance battened Sails & extras
  • Excellent condition

Hmmmm, I enjoyed it in the 80s.

 

At the price of a restaurant meal, maybe I should look to spend a couple of hundred rand and get myself an old rig to play with on holiday

Hey Ian

 

I used to make the annual pilgrimage to the Trench in Luderitz for the speed trials, needle board and a 10m2 camber induced rig in search of the holy grail of 40kts!  Never made it quite to 40 but had a lot of fun. Perhaps Emmerentia one afternoon if the wind is blowing we should dust of a few boards and sail, and then drink beer.....

I bought an original 1 design windsurfer a month ago for 400 ZAR + 2 Bottles of captain. Immaculate. Mint Condition for its age. 2 sails both in top condition. Boom, Mast 100% complete. Took it for a sail, brought out the kid in me... was such a jol. will be doing a lot more of that in the future. In Europe they are making a big comeback. I agree not worth 3k but they are rising in price.
