Ok folks, have you ever seen a board like this?
www.seabreeze.com.au/gallery/gallery.asp?imageid=2499
I bought it a few years ago at a Garage Sail at Yeppoon. I have never ridden it, but looks like some has once tried because there are heel impressions either side of the mast track like some has tried to uphaul a sail. Otherwise it's in as new condition. In case your wondering, yes the stickers have been put on the blank and glassed over.
The dimensions are:
Lenght: 278cm
Width: 55cm
Thickness: 11cm
Weight: 9kg
Volume: ??? I guess less than 100L
Fin Box: Standard A-box
Shaper: Hohensee
Does anyone know if this was a special made promotional board?
The deck is quite soft so I don't think it was made to be used seriously.
Hypothetically if I was to ride it, what sort of board is it?
Slalom I guess, if slalom what size sails could it carry?
Would it have more value as a conversation piece over so-one's bar or in a windsurfing shop window????
Let's hear it, what do you all think about my Windsurfing Bundy Bear?
Hey knot board, its got a Wind FX logo on it, give the infamous greenleader a post and i betcha he will know about it.
Looks to be an old style gunny wave board.
I recomend you sell it in your next garage sail, it can then live in someone elses backyard for another 15yrs without seeing water.

hi knotley,
good old laurie hohensee moved to yeppoon area a number of years ago.
he is a legendary surfboard shaper and well respected in surfing circles.
he did ask some advice a few years ago about making a promo board for the "local" and got some components from me as i remember and stickers.
he is a great personality and nice guy.
however, building a windsurfer using a mal blank or similar from burfords and a classic retro surf shaper will always turn out a board that looks a bit mal-ish 
dudes look at that tail rocker!
a standard surf polyester layup will always dent easily under thefeet and that beauty should go
"straight to the pool room"

Interestingly this board does not have a 'stringer', my understanding is that all surfboards and I guess custom sail-boards have a wooden center line running the length of the board. Without a stringer wouldn't the strength of this board be compromised?
knotley, it's a cool boys accessory for hangin somewhere!
surfing hall of fame stuff loooong after you are dead.
