I know this is a bit of an unusual request!

I'm also aware that beggars can't be choosers...anyway I'm looking to borrow (or buy super cheap) any old board for a visit to Tassie at the end of April til mid-May. I may get out a couple of times if the weather agrees.

Not fussy at all!

Mouldy 25-year-old hunk of junk? Yes, please! As long as it floats with me on it (95kg), I'd be happy with either a huge light wind monster or a medium-sized board for higher wind. I've been windsurfing for over 10 years, but never in Tassie, which is where I originally come from. Time to fix that!

I plan to bring just a 6.5 rig with me. If the wind is to strong or too light -- too bad!



Thanks in advance for the avalanche of kind offers I shall shortly be receiving

I have a 2006 JP supercross 106 that you are welcome to borrow for a couple of weeks. It is in my shed in Launceston.

Thanks for the kind offer Al, but I'm only going to be in the Hobart area.

Btw, I'm totally open to buying something in the $100 range. I have a place to leave it for the other 50 weeks of the year.

I have a 2006 fanatic 91 slalom you could have for $100
looks well used but waterproof and very fast and lovely board to sail
I am in Sandy Bay

Thanks! I am still in " beggars can't be choosers" mode, but 91 litres is too way small for me. Got anything else?

I thought it would be a good match with your 6.5

Maybe if I were a bit lighter!
