Alto windsurfing board catalog

Klepper windsurfing advertisementFrom the new-to-the-Puffin blog Hit the Wave comes this tremendous post… a fantastic collection of windsurfing board catalogs, not only from brands I know (F2, Fanatic, Mistral, Bic, Tiga, RRD etc) but from over a dozen I’ve never or only barely heard of (Windspeed, Ten Cate, Star Surf, Sainval, Pacific, Oceanite, HiWings, Magnum, Klepper etc…too many for me to list.)   A must to check out.  The post isn't new (originally published 2011) but it's new to us!

    Great that Dimitris’s blog is getting more love. He’s a super nice guy. I’d like him more but he lives in such a wonderful place to windsurf that I’m way too jealous (just kidding).

    It’s nice to see my effort to save memories of vintage boards being appreciated!
    William, I hope one day we will sail together, no matter where.
