Hi

I have updated a few of my sails this season and have my old ones still kicking around
they all work and are in pretty good condition considering their age (about 10 years)
they all came over from England with me and are from a sail loft in Weymouth
made by a guy called Adrian Buglar
I have a 6.0 with 2 cams
a 5.3 with 2 cams
and a 4.8 wave sail
I can send pictures if required.
all for a donation to my beer fridge!!!!

Gday mate,
might be interested in giving you some of that beer money. I put my head through the main panel of my only sail last weekend, decided that i couldnt do anything more with electrical tape once id tried to fix four other panels with it! if you could send me some photo's that'd be ace.
Cheers

Maybe give the smaller one to that kid who wants to learn (kitesurf or whatever his handle is on here).... enough offers and we may have an up n coming champ who didn't have to fork out a million bucks

the problem here, is that once someone acquires old windsurfing gear, they turn up with it dressed in dick togs and gloves.

this behavior should be discouraged.

hey greenleader funny you say that. A few months ago I saw a guy at Botany Bay who was dressed in sluggos trying out his new second hand purchase. His sail was rigged terribly and there was something else about him that just didn't look right. He actually ended up bringing his gear up the hill to derig as I was doing same and I offerered him a few pointers as to how he might get a bit more performance out of his kit if rigged correctly. It was then that I noticed what his main problem was. He was wearing his CHEST harness as a seat harness. I swear it looked like he was walking around in a really bad fitting adult nappy! I politely told him how he should be wearing it and he took it all in good spirits. Funny sight though

A bit off topic, but on EBay at the moment someone is trying to see a Cobra Gun as a beginner's board.

For chrissake it's annoying when people on the East Coast get out of their old slalom boards by claiming they are good for beginners. I've got one of those old Guns because I like the feel when it gets really windy, but it's hard to think of a worse floater for a beginner. I see so many people get burned and turned off the sport in this way.

Hey sorry to hijack the thread but what sh!ts me no end on eBay...... is those who won't post / courier WS gear... pickup only.

F^&k that is annoying. If you will only offer local pickup, stick it in the local paper.

If the buyer in WA (eg: me) wants to buy a board in Sydney, WTF are they too lazy to send it??? I pay the bl00dy postage anyway!!!!
