Can anyone help.
I see Mistral sailboards being sold throughout Europe.
No-one appears to stock them in Straya' anymore.
Anyone??

You after new or classic?
I haven't seen them in any shops around here for a long time. They hardly have much to offer these days: shop.mistral.com/collections/boards
Last time I've seen a new Mistral board in a Dutch shop was back in the early Bringdal/ Lockwood era. That must have been 2010 to 2012. Since then haven't seen any new Mistral boards overhere. Neither windsurf nor SUP. Think that tells a lot since Mistral has been Dutch based since Bringdal lost the licence back in 2015.
Thank you all.
I've seen the Mistral Quickslide comes in 100, 110, 120 & 130ltr.
Don't know if they are current or from years gone by.
Replies welcome.

None sold in Australia since the Lockwood designed board were last made in 2015
Clocked 26.4kn on my 1999 Mistral Raceboard in heavy Moreton Bay chop on the weekend, I can't get a Phantom to go that quick. Was just using the original fin with it too, I think with a modern fin it would go quicker still. And no fear of burying the nose into the back of a wave like you get on the Phantom's. They are such good boards and over 20 years old, its still competitive and still holding together great.

There is nothing like careering down the face of a wave with 12 foot of board bouncing in front of you.
