Whats a bombora new toy in good condition worth these days ??

I know there's a buy/sell page, but this is a bit different - I'm not trying to sell equipment but give away antique stuff that hasn't been used for about 20 years & has been stored indoors, before it all goes to the tip (or to the nearby Revolve 2nd hand goods facility if they'll take it).

I'm aware from an article by Peter Hart in UK Windsurf of June 2008 of the huge changes in equipment & technique since the early 90s. So I'm not trying to offload this to a beginner - just a desperate attempt to see if I can avoid it all ending up on the tip.

It's a longshot but perhaps there is a collector of vintage 80s equipment out there with lots of storage space !

In brief, this is what we have:
- fibreglass 8' 9" waveboard (Performance Sailboards, W'gong)
- Mistral 'Tarifa' - 140 litres; 330 cm long, 65cm wide; 12.5 kg
- 5 full-batten sails (3.7m; 4.9m; 5.7m; 6.2m; 7.2m - Hood, Gaastra, Windsurfing Hawaii, Mistral), 2 booms, 2 x 2-piece fibreglass masts; mastfoots)
- Tyronsea 360 long board, sail & mast but no mastfoot

I also have a large collection of windsurfing magazines from the 80s that I need to rationalise at some stage (eg, lots of issues of US 'Windsurf'; 'Sail Boarder'; 'WindRider'; & 'Windsurfing'; & miscellaneous issues of UK 'Windsurf', 'Boards' & Aust. 'Freesail'). If you are interested in taking some of these mags, let me know if you'd like more information on what I have.

I have an old Bic Allegro speed board from about 23 years ago and I am thinking about giving it another run.

Does anyone know much about them, and what is the expected top speed I could expect to get out of it?

I was wondering how fast will old speed boards go on modern rigs?

I am also thinking of running a Tassie comp fastest on the Allegro

Would anyone be interested this board did go in the old days.

I have a "classic" that has a black label in the middle saying:

Orthogonal Concept
292
Tom Ludecke Design

It's a white PVC board. Sturdy. Very sharp rocker lines. May be between 125-135L.
Bougth it in 90-ties.

Is that a Bombora? Has anyone heard about it before?

I just broke 4 PBs with it, so go easy on the insults
