Your first New Board
Have been an avid reader of Morgan's "Windsurfing Learning Curve" blog in the Qld Forum ( is this the largest post ever - 410 post and 24,353 reads ) and it got me thinking what was my first new board. Knew it was a Dufour but not the Wing. Found it on this site
hitthewave.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/windsurfing-brochures-ads-80s-90s/ It was the Dufour Sun. Started the 30 + year journey in the Bribie Island passage and have had the bug ever since.
Very interesting bit of history. Can you find your first board?

Fixing board bottom buble
To my surprise I discovered that one day the complete bottom of my old but favorite JP 91 L board become separated from the board filler.
I could be water leak plus beating on the chop at speed I suspect but now there is few centimeters gap on whole bottom surface, without any obvious external signs , whole bottom is simply separated
I wish to drill a hole, insert some glue and compress the bottom , stick that bottom to the internal board structure again.
What sort of glue could I use? I thought that polyurethane foam will be the easiest to fill up the space. (?) but if not react with that filler inside? will it last on the chop?
should I drill whole from bottom, side or batter upper surface thought the board?
Did somebody similar repair or board need discarding ?
