Just had a friend have to give up windsurfing at 81 years old ..
due a stroke ,his last sail was about 4 month ago ,and still managed a hour of light wind sailing ,
he mainly stuck to a big board and no cam 6.5 - 7.0...at the end there the skin on his hands ,was to thin to down haul and always ending up bleeding ..I gave him a down haul winch ,which he thought was the best thing since sliced bread .he use to make his own sails way back ,and drove and sailed right around Australia and has stories of broken gear getting wash up on shore everyday at Gero ,before gear was strong .before carbon .And drank out of sheep troughs
his right arm is not working that good ,but he reckons hell be back sailing in a couple of years ..so he's not selling any gear .
How long do you reckon you'll be sailing till ...or do you know of any legends ..
I reckon I'll sail till I died .
or die sailing ..

He's now on walfrine ..I think that's how ya spell it ,he calls it rat sack ...it thins the blood ,that's how ratsack kills rats . He reckons .
