hi all - new to the group, was a ver active windsurfer in my teens in the north of tassie on an Antarctica. would love to know where I could get some Bombora logos or even the artwork that the logos contained. happy to pay
Next photos come from my collection some boards which I used to own ( gave one away, sold each other one I had to someone who had room to hang them on the wall..they are works of art).. and others are off the net.
Below is I think Bruce Wylie or Rohan Cudmore jumping a proto but can't be sure but possible Wylie. Someone else may know.
I don't have any Bomboras anymore but I do have a Hi-Tech, using templates of Craig Maisonville, as shaped by Adan Nicholson (Bombora shaper in WA).
I feel they aren't really a bombora proto if they are shaped under license by someone else and had bombora stickers applied. They may have worked as a windsurfer board. The only "art" worth hanging in the wall is from Mark Paul's original air brush.
olskool said.. RichardG, the blue one was way ahead of its time. Twin US box = FOIL READY!!!! BAHAHA!
Yes it does almost look foil ready or almost a quad like configuration. I had a 7'10" Bombora Proto version of that, not pictured with Clockwork Orange artwork underneath, with the assymetric finbox for either tack. It was a sinker and not worth trying to uphaul at 70 kg. If I could find that board again it would be good, maybe it will turn up at the tip or on gumtree. By way the words below were not on my board and I do not condone them, principal interest was windsurfing back then. The artwork I got was the same as below but from the album soundtrack of synthesisers and classical music which did not contain the words below. After all this was 1984 post punk, post new wave, harking back to the 1970s classic film of the Anthony Burgess novel.
