In reference to the fleabay thread that has become the Tiga Hall of fame!
Thought it may be time for other Tiga fans to come out!
Catch the last few posts on this forum to get the drift..
Perhaps the plastic bomboras or HiFlyscould squeeze a mention or pic also!

I purchased my first board a 295 Tiga after much research, flew it up from Melbourne to NQ and was the best decission ever, due to its bomb proof construction, I found the board was actually performed well against other boards that were around in that era.

And to clarify Bomb Proof..I mean hitting coral bombies at full speed smashing fins to bits, no fin box damage, stupendouse amounts of boom hits to the nose, no problems, thrown on and off boats, jettys, roof racks with no padding, smashed against rocky headlands..left in the tropical sun for days, I'm sure I lost it on the Bruce highway once due to a roof rack misshap! Just a few scratches and nicks.

Certainly wouldn't suggest for a moment that they compare with todays gear, but for getting people on the water for less$ and being robust,reliable and quite quick and easy to sail, they certainly got me and I'm sure many others hooked.
I'd been sailing Bic Calypso's, Melody's, Rocks and various Bombora and original windsurfers before making this jump, and the Tiga was a like a Porsche in comparsion!

Love robhow's comparisons between the 2 tiga models about 10 years apart, and the reference to Tom Luedecke, havn't heard that name for years! Any info on him these days?
and that awesome video again!
