How things have changed...

I think that package could still make a windsurfer happy.
Love those colours!

Got all nostalgic - I haven't heard a board called a 'wave jumper' for a looong time.

It all looks to be in amazing condition, and those Strappers were a very good board. They started all the modern thinking with regards to getting the wide point back a bit and better rocker line. Mike DiScasio (sp?) and JP changed the world with those things.

I'd love to buy it just to have a sail on a perfect wave on that old stuff

No wonder it's in good condition. I haven't seen that gear out on the bay for a decade at least.

Oooh. Strapper board- I had one of those once. And WildWinds sails. So cool (in their day).

I still use a wildwinds sail 4.5.
It is my favourite - it is so light and easy to handle
the kids like it too- they think it's looks so cool

Then look at this one mate. Talk about colourful.

Deregistered. My firm used to do some work for them back in the good old days.

As to (at least one of) the people behind it, two letters, first one being "K".

Those wild winds sails are in excellent condition considering their age. I bet the guy has hardly ever used his kit.

Why do most modern windsurfing sails and boards have such drab colour schemes? Grey, black and brown seems to be the go. Something fun should have fun colours like that board and sails.

hey, Jason wants his gear back!

I agree.

I was told Ben Severne did his time at KA ????

picked this one out to[looks like new]i had one of each and sailed the tc the most,it was more stable and planed earlier.

Completely agree, although I do think the point seven sails look trick in black.

Nah, that's bollocks. I had an ex-Jason WildWinds 4.2 Slalom Race (?) sail in the bad old days and it was in very good nick. But then he probably only ever rigged it once. Proudest bit of kit I've ever owned, and I still think I've got the sail bag somewhere. Never tried to pass myself of as KA1111 though. Even got a genuine Grubby North Ice 3.7 that he had barely ever used.

Using second hand gear of legends still doesn't make me sail like them though

PS: Mark, if I ever red-thumb you, I'll ***kin' tell you so!

^ yes, the stalkers are out in force mark,

i get them all the time as well. just ignore it. i always try to green thumb the red thumbs away when i see them.
