Hi all,
I putting together a website to document the old windsurfing gear (most of which I still use today) IN particular Im trying to collect toehold Neil Pryde catalogs from 1984-1990. I have several but Im missing a few. If anybody has PDF's they could share that would be amazing. Specifically Im after '84 '85 '88 but I will take any links you might have or if you have old hardcopies Im happy to pay.
The prototype page is here sites.google.com/view/classic-windsurfing?usp=sharing
Very much in its infancy as Im still collecting content.
Note - If you have video's or pictures of you currently sailing old school gear please send it through and I can include on the 'Friends' page...but Id like to know when, where and exactly what gear you are using with years if possible.
EMAIL ME randaj38@mac.com
Thanks Jon
Fond memories. I picked up 3 RAF Waves in Hong Kong on the way back from Hawaii in 1984. I might have had the first production RAF Waves in Perth at the time. They were awesome. I might have a printed catalogue somewhere.
I would love to see it
i read the catalogues obsessively over and over as a poor 16 yo with a Bombora Trifin and the standard baggy sail. Rushwind aluminium mast with 7 cam sail made me excited. NP RAF wave and RAF Dynamic got me hard lol.
wish I never threw out the old stuff. PvB is a legend for the old videos online so I think your project is good too
There's another website out there that has a plethora of old sail and board catalogues. Just Google some exotic old F2 board and you'll probably find it otherwise I can link to it here later.
You might be thinking of my friend's site:
hitthewave.wordpress.com/2011/11/25/windsurfing-sails-clothing-accessories-old-brochures-adds/
and there some other pages there that might contain more
