This is a website to show my favourite old school windsurfing gear from the 80's and early 90's. Check the menu at the top of the page for different content areas including: dating your vintage sails, maintaining vintage sails, comparing your old gear to modern gear, history of select Mistral sailboards, discussion on mast stiffness, hard to find parts and boards for sale, restoration techniques and more....
Each piece of gear on this website has been lovingly restored (even the sails) and gets used every year ! Checkout some of the links to videos where I demonstrate repair and restoration of old school windsurfing gear as well as discussing the performance and review of the various boards and sails. I only sail Mistral boards but I have a variety of vintage sails. Please contact me at randaj38@mac.com for more information or to chat about classic windsurfing.
If you have some classic windsurfing gear (Pre 1995) or photos/videos recorded recently please email me the details (pictures and explanations, dates, location) and I will post it on this site on the Classic Windsurfing Friends Page
