Hi everyone so I am new here, though over the years I have popped in to view posts. I live all the way over the other side of the world in Bermuda and more recently had a renewed interest in windsurfing again. I was into the slalom side of things back in 1995 - 97. I have mostly new gear now, Isonic 80 - 90 with 5.4, 6.2, 7.2 8.4 RS racing and slalom sails and just ordered a new 7.8 RSS.
So the other day I decided to bring out from the basement one of my old slalom boards which was a wickedly fast board. It was build by Fiberworx in Aruba probably in 1994 and was silly light being a honeycomb carbon board. As racing in Aruba is very flat with off shore winds the rocker is very little. I had a blast on it until 6 - 7 years ago when I speared it going banzai in open water deep off the wind and catapulted ripping the track and splitting the nose.
So I measured the width and tail 30cm from end and it's very speed board like I imagine! It's 49cm at mid point and 30cm at tail. Volume wise must be low 70's. So I am thinking to repair it and move the track back a bit, but wondered does she look like a speed board?
I can't spend dosh on a new speed board like an Isonic speed, but figure there might be life in the old girl yet! I'm thinking paired with the 5.4 RSR it should be lots of fun!
