Apologies for posting pics here if it's not the right place. I tried posting to the gallery over the last few days but I'm not allowed...it says I need to have been around for a day and it's been 3 now...

As anyone who's read my previous posts will know, I've 'scored' a number of obsolete 1980's fibreglass windsurfer boards, a gaudy Farrelly and a beautifully finished Wind Action being the main players in my little recycling project.

I took the WA out into the surf for just the 3rd time on Monday, and a younger bloke than me on a Malibu said...

"That's the biggest surfboard I've ever seen! Just how long is it?"

So I explained that it was 9'4", it was formerly a windsurfer, and that only a matter of a few weeks ago it had been sitting on a pile of rubbish waiting to go out in the upcoming council junk collection, until I 'rescued' it that was.

So I've created a Facebook page that follows the boards, and my, journey back into the water. I also haven't surfed for many years, so the boards and I are both learning...

Please feel free to come along and have a look, and post a comment if you like...

Anyone got one of those older starboard fish boards they made in 2002ish I think? Looking at getting a 90lt one as a light wind board are they much fun to ride? How do they compare to modern boards? We don't have a lot of bigger wave boards floating around here and it's going cheap is it worth considering or should I just keep saving for a 90lt quad?
