Now I see why we do not get the numbers at NSW Slalom events, we do not have a beer sponsor!

Congratulations on getting such good numbers to your event, I hope you have a great week.

You know you are successful when you attract the trolls, they don't waste their time on threads that nobody reads

A great day on the water with four course races completed at the Nationals in South Australia. Total entries is actually 116 competitors. The LT aerial of "logs" and sails on the beach makes a great windsurfing photo.

Sorry to correct you, but Im a loser, not a looser.
All in good fun mate, sorry to annoy you.

I love social media: it has the capacity to always bring out the worst. Nothing fun in your provocations, Lotofwind, they are just mean spirited pokes.

But to the original question. I do not know if the Windsurfer LT is the best thing ever to happen to windsurf, but I know that it must be fun. I can see a lovely a sandy beach, and long afternoons just going around, like I did with the first Windurfer ages ago. I could be out all winter with it in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I am on foil right now and foil, at least right now, is not fun. It is work, tension, adrenaline ... so much so that I am not looking forward to the next session. I kind of dread it. Of course it will change, but I can see how, especially for people who like myself for a reason or another don't pick it up quickly, a Windsurfer LT can start to look like a mirage of serenity! And for young sailors, say under 10-12, I cannot imagine a better platform ... before they start foiling, learn it in an afternoon, and leave all the rest of us bobbing in the tiny waves a foil makes!!!!!!

Tim Gourlay of WA outstanding overall pentathlon winner, winning Lightweight Course Racing, Marathon as well as Slalom and I believe also the Freestyle. He is a world champion and also Australian champion, which he has been before.

WOW, I don't think your figures are correct??
Surely there would have been more than 4000 boards sold since that design first came out in the 70's?? or maybe Im wrong? thought there was heaps more windsurfers back then that learnt on them.

Don't you mean Robby Naish then invented kitesurfing and foiling with a windwing , made another million, then the rest is history ??

How about the financials on how much you have earned getting 20cents every time you say LT on forums

Ohhhhh, you say I have to leave????? Damn, I just bought an old LT and was about to give a review to help boost your sales.


edit...... wow you retracted your last post quickly .

Sorry you don't have to leave and I did not mean that. Please post a photo of you and your LT.

OK, here's a pic.
Sorry, the photo was taken with a very old camera

Thanks. It is not an LT. It looks like an early yellow glass Baja board from the very early 70s with photo taken in another nation and definitely not the youthful kiter you often claim you are! Infact that is the first Windsurfer in France with sail number 48. Hence it appears you are again telling fibs. You should give up now.

lotofwind said..the LT is like an Elvis impersonator .... Young kiddies dance to it cause they don't know any better yet and the oldies dance to it cause they prefer life 50 years ago.

Good analogy. Good things remain popular. It just as fun now as it always was particularly if you like competition in one design fleets. If you don't like course racing one designs then it is not for you. The course racing is fairly similar upwind to displacement boats in light winds. Above 10 knots, racing becomes more skiff like. Downwind requires a lot of physical pumping and steering with the sail and board. Really good skills to apply to boats but not teabaggers.The Slalom in the light winds is a fitness and board control workout and similarly board handling and fitness in highwinds. The Marathon is a 2-hour long race with unlimited pumping. These may not interest you as kiting is for different people most of whom do not race. You probably have no interest and you do not know or remember Elvis either probably also not The Stray Cats, any good Rockabilly or heroic punk new wave like The Stranglers or Aussie punk rockers the Saints, indie outfits such as The Triffids, the Models or The Sunnyboys. You are a young kiter probably interested only in acid house and techno.Thanks.

Nothing wrong with liking the golden oldie abc music,
never heard of any of those ones though,
a sunnyboy is what they use to call an ice block in the 70's????????

You are a crazy kooky kiting cat. I guess you would need an ice block for an iced tea if you were keen on teabagging.

Bugger, you caught me out, gezzzz your a smart one. If that is the first and only sailor back then in France, why does he need a sail number ??????

I heard someone down the beach yesterday say the LT is like an Elvis impersonator at the RSL. Young kiddies dance to it cause they don't know any better yet and the oldies dance to it cause they prefer life 50 years ago.
I don't get what they mean though as I have never heard of a Elvis before????

Funny, the other day someone said that kiters and windfoilers are like teenyboppers drooling over their Noah Centinio posters and looking up Seventeen for advice on how to wear the latest trend of knee-high boots and flannel. Because after all, nothing is important as fashion and keeping up with the cool kids. Or you could go with the Alpaca trend, because after all what really matters is being trendy.



Y'know, it's sort of funny that someone who has a pic from 1982 on his profile is so obsessed with slinging **** at other things for being old fashioned. The Young Ones are only a few years newer than the Windsurfer in Oz, so if Windsurfers look old then you must look pretty crusty yourself.

Here's an idea...ignore lotofwind then he'll go away or keep posting cause he hasn't got much else going on.

Let's move on folks.
Bagging different forms of our fun but miniscule, insignificant sport is ridiculous.

Wtf? And I thought lot of wind was full of it! Thought this was a windsurfing forum
