A guy came down to me tonight looking for a uni joint.
He had just purchased a 'beginner' board locally. Never windsurfed and naturally full of enthusiasm to get on the water.

The person he purchased the board off said that the board would sink down below water when uphauled and then rise up to the surface as it got going!!!. Board and rig 'sinker' from 1983.
Well there goes another potential windurfer
That gear should be on the tip.

so give us a clue...Lauderdale area? been sailin for years, but now needs a bit of dough to put towards the camper? not making light of this....i cant believe anyone ever learnt to sail on on old heavy slippery rounded deck piece of **** archaic crap, whoever is selling it should be paying someone to take the crap! by the way i have for sale a bombora dromadery, hi fly 660 and tencate 26 footer with timber boom

Did he buy it from a guy in Lindisfarne/Geilston Bay area

That is poor form, is there anyway we can help him out, I might have a spare 5m sail I could donate

Good on ya for offering, Anyone else out there willing to offer some help to this poor guy. What that person done to him is wrong. I started out on near 30yo Wayler and I loved it. Just sold it to a likewise vintage enthusiast and now have moved up to slightly newer 15-20yo gear.

If I was in Tas I would be more than welcome to help teach him on what ever vintage gear he has or will have.

Do you know what sort of board it was? what it needed etc other than a Uni joint?

I gave him my car and $10,000 cash to help him out.

no seriously, i think we will see him again ,we are all a freindly bunch willing to help out.
