That is funny!

They also don't know the history of some of the confrontations.

You were right Dag ................ the new LT does pull chicks ................

Like, smack in head in the middle of the ocean type confrontation ? "you've snaked my chop !"

PS/ Randy looks like a cool dude.

saw some of the crew take the LT out at a byron point break in small waves today.

i did get some photos. once they are developed i'll post them....

Cool photo!
Gave a few more a go on the LT on the weekend. Everyone loved it.

It does, but my Mariage is just hanging on.

Yeah, take her to Jaws.

This is where the people who are interested in One design windsurfing would look. Just highlighting that there are some fun alternatives.

A interesting read for lovers of the sport of windsurfing

Making windsurfing great again
Windsurfer LT
found this post more giggles
Wally's are still available new in Australia.They are $1900AU. Do you really believe the new fibreglass model will be cheaper than the one made from recycled milk bottles ?

Are you assuming people reading this thread have no idea there are other fun forms of windsurfing out there??

looking forward to adding my new Wally LT to my quiver of Slalom,wave,speed and foiling gear

Spot on, why do I want to get a long board for planning when all I want to do is cruise around in 10 knots of breeze that we get in winter. If I need to frrang around I get my kiting gear out and blasting in 12 knots. The one design LT sails well in sub planing conditions which is what I'm looking for. Have ridden many large volume race boards and this new 1DLT sails real nice.

For sure adding a windsup to you quiver for cruising around on light wind days is a good thing. Having a variety of types of boards creates more opportunity and develops a greater skill set. Also nice to have a board to give a mate a first try a windsurfing on with a board you regularly use . They can then go buy themselves a dedicated modern windsurf board to learn on and quickly progress.
So if it fits your lifestyle buy a windsup,any windsup.
The windsurfer is cheap windsup,thats a positive . Just add your existing rig and rock and roll.

But as far as one design windsurf racing they could have done so much better.The board itself looks to perform well in its intended lighter wind range .For just a few more $ it could have been transformed from a cheap windsup to a proper racing one design WINDSURFER.

1- a racing (upwind/downwind) long board should have a mast track.
2-Footstraps to really get it going and allowing it to be used comfortably in a lot more wind
3-ditch the ancient rig for something with a stable draft

Windsurfer should have made a bigger jump. Like the jump from VCR to DVD. Some people might not like it a first,for others (maybe even me)a game changer and worth it.
To me the Glide looks like the best one design right now, but unfortunately marketing and timing will determine if it will be successful .Then next year the Olympic OD will be determined and the RSX doomed to extinction. Add techno and there is a lot of choices for a small number of people interested in racing, not all will survive.
For a few hundred $ more the Wally could have been so much more

Lol over 170 boards have been sold in Aust , they have different opinion to you .
get over yourself and your little man syndrome
and take your glide to a different thread ,stop polluting every article of the windsurfer LT with your
immature bull**** you ****witt
more of your crap
Buy second hand gear,get 10 year old stuff if your budget is small. Can get a great LIGHT,FAST setup for what you would pay for a WALLY $700 (they say) and still need to buy the rig.

Hey Snides, Which yacht club will be racing the LT in Perth ? I have one on order and need to join the right club. Cheers Richard

Will be trying to get it off the ground at Mounts bay sailing club.
There are 2 of us there already.
