Hi surfing Pals,
I tried to post on the 2010 topic My first board, but being old, it was closed.
So I start again something similar - Windsurfing in Greece since 1979, including some hard to find ads, brochures & info of that era.
I hope you will enjoy the whole content @ my blog:

That is an amazing record of 80's windsurfing you have Zaosan
Who was naming the Fanatic boards back then? I wonder if there are any Hot Rabbits still in use, probably mostly in landfill by now.

The Bee must have been a popular model because they were still using that name on boards in the late nineties. I think I owned a bright orange/red one for a while.

I'm glad you like the old material Al.
Sorry, I have no idea who was naming the boards, but I can offer you one more lovely photo. (I think it's Jena riding an Ultra Boa...)

You might find an Ultra Rat- or maybe not..
I remember an even older 2CV, what a rabitting machine. Doors off, stand up shooting
