lots of people love to knock the old gear except when you go past them on the water, then you don't see them for a few weeks!!!!!
Im happy with my gear, hey its old, the boards made from recycled coke bottles, but it gets me on the water and i dont freak out when i go round the mast.

Years ago when i was living in Perth, i had the flash gear, the strapper slalom board, the quiver of sails, and i can honestly say it didn make any difference to my sailing ablility, it was **** then as it is now, maybe i make more gybes now then i did back then.

Im buying Nates old wave board so i can hit up some ocean sailing. years ago i would sail miles offshore at woodies pt, yet last saturday i sat on the beach at burliegh worried about some shore break, pathetic i tell you.

no confidence as im getting older.
it was a great session on sunday, it brought back the sailing passion i had missed for a while. Sailing with great crew makes a difference too i feel.
