No wind... No new outrageous craigslist postings... Going to have to start picking on moo's sail listing for entertainment.

It's been awhile, here's another amazing usedvic deal! End of year, so probably trying to blow out inventory at a great price as a tax write off.

Sorry Windude, but that old gear is probably only worth 350 to 400 at best.
Old gear just is not that same nor is even comparable to your new stuff these days. I got a screamer 2 and another similar mid 90's board for free in mint shape.

Not shaming, because the price isn't outrageous, still wouldn't recommend this as your go to board, but my gawd, look at that tail

I'm liking the double set of foot straps on that board...perfect for teaching chicks to windsurf... kind of the same way one teaches a chicks to golf :wink:

I've ridden that board! Remember being disappointed and thinking it was slow even then! Man I must be getting old.

Wouldn't that be a pretty good downwind SUP for a little grom?

I'm pretty sure this "HARDLY BEEN USED ;NO DAMAGE AT ALL " was actually the subject of a soft deck repair tutorial years ago. the added deckpad in the jibe zone is the smoking gun.

in fact the board was soft, repaired by me, no way that deck is going soft again cuz the rails would crumble before that could occur!! But I recall the buyer put a hole in the rail and ignored it for quite a few sessions. It is, if now dry, a fast and great sailing board, surfy with slalom speed...sold about 5+? Yrs ago for 400 bucks ....if it's light and dry I think it's an ok price...no damage at all is a bit out there

This one looks like an antique.... at least late 80's early 90's maybe? Would that qualify as "a few years old"?
