The board would suit you, but you'd need a smaller sail as well, so probably also a smaller mast. Nice shiny brand new gear is nice though, if you have the $s.

Yeah I just had a look at the larger photo, it's definately taped up. This could be potentially serious, I'd say there's either a crease in the board there (which will weaken the nose which might snap off) or it's been smashed by the mast during a catapult, which will also weaken the nose and there's the possibility water could have entered the board. It's always a gamble buying secondhand boards without actually seeing them. On the other hand most windsurfers are a trustworthy bunch, so might be worth contacting the seller.
Freight might cost a bit, so by the time you add that to the board it might be better economics to get a new board (and sails that suit you and our area specifically) through Damien.

hi mate
pm me we may be able to help
also windsurf tas has starboard start boards available to use at sandy bay sailing club if your interested

The weekend's looking pretty good FoS

Thanks all,

The 2nd hand options just haven't worked so far. I've placed an order for a Xantos 152 - and an Aerotech 6.2 Charge sail. And mast / boom/ mastbase. :)

Maybe have it in a month or so.

Now I've gotta wait :(

Thanks for all your advice.

Also trod on an oyster shell that made it through the booty , just a small one, but on the bottom of my foot.

Those bloody oysters - I go through booties every 2 years. Last pair I got spiked by a flattie first time I used them. Of course learning to gybe properly could alleviate this problem. But revenge - eat more oysters and flatties.
