If you're a bit of a hoarder Phenton I could offer you an old Warren Cornish or Island Energy waveboard.
Pretty short boards with the mast track way up front. Not good for those signature backloops I herd you are renowned for. Stick the nose in and it would never pop up.
Anyone know the origin of these brands???
getting a way off Narrowneck topic now...


Don't know anything about Island Energy, but Warren Cornish is pretty well known in surfing circles and like a few of the pioneers of surfing in Australia (Bob McTavish springs to mind) he turned his hand to windsurfing at a point during the 80's. He was based in Byron Bay, I met him way back when visiting Michael down at Multi Fin Systems, but by that time he was getting out of sailboards.

Funny the evolution with these boards with the track way up front, I had a tiny 8ft board like this at one stage. Can't remember the brand. Oh I had a Sessions brand board as well that was similar but not quite as full on in design. Mostly those designs were Hawaiian, but were generally a bit low in volume to work well here.



Island Energy was a Tassi brand shaped by Nick Stranger. They were popular here in the early 80 before Strapper became the dominant wave board though there were also quite a few Merimbula "Mambo" boards around.
