You are still wrong....keep trying and I will tell you when you are right.
Righteo keeper of secrets, this doesn't sound like the funnest game ever, but I won't back down from an internet challenge..
Mistral circa 2009 = gone
Mistral 2011 = AB+ with mistral sticker.
Every beach in the northern hemisphere was alive with talk mistral had gone under, I know Brawzinho, although I wasn't there when he went to Fanatic, thanks to social media, everyone knew what happened. mistral were no longer, Brawzinho joined the exodus of everything else mistral in 2009..
Boards and more sold mistral windsurfing to Anders. They did this after it went belly up. If mistral was worth anything, would Anders buy them, gut the company of everything except the M to stick on his boards?.. No..
Baker, Nelson, Browne, 2009 range, circa 2009 graphics and logo design, The rights to the 2009 movie Committed Reloaded, all gone..
in 2009 mistral looked like this, cool..
website
2009 range
They had awesome shapes, trick graphics, elite team riders, world championships, and sweet product movies. This does not come cheap, and it is common knowledge that Mistral 'went out with a bang'.
You can read between the lines in this interview with Anders,
http://www.boardseekermag.com/features/windsurfing-equipment/mistral-and-anders-bringdal-110.htmlMy best mate Max got some free boards of Anders in 2010, They were heavy, ugly and didn't qualify for the PWA comps because they weren't registered production boards.. Max dubbed it the 'Giant Swiss Army Knife', and quickly jumped ship.
Here is what you get when you type mistral 2010 into google.. AB+ anybody?
So thats a summary of Mistral windsurfing boards fall from grace, of course I have only been talking about the board range, not anything else under the Mistral umbrella..
You could argue Mistral is alive and well, you could also argue the Fitzroy Lions are alive and well in Brisbane, they aren't..
