You sure this hasn't been left since the finish of the 1985 LOC.

I love seeing how well people sail this old stuff.

Old school dudes can still be pretty quick.

Well if it's Kevin's, it must be '07
I heard he got shafted just on the finish line of his first leg though.

I could be wrong, but is that a converted surfboard ?

Awesome to see old gear on the water. I've been given a run plenty of times by guys on glass boards with mylar sails.

It looks like an old John Hall designed wave board of the mid '80s if I'm correct, it had similar volume and length to slalom boards of the day. I wish someone would design large volume waveboards again....oh forgot they have, Kona do 140 and 170 litre jobbies....must start saving some sheckles, lots of them.
