firstly i dont think anyone is being harsh! i think we are all genuinly confused as to whether this thing is genuine, and if it is, its sea worthiness.
Apart from that maybe a little harsh criticism is on order - imagine if you where a punter with no idea what to look for in windsurfing equipmnent, so you buy this because it is competitively priced. You sail it once, think windsurfing is ****, quit, then tell or your friends how **** windsurfing is.
I think windsurfing is a great sport and love hearing about new people getting into it and having a great time.
How many times have you gone down to your local spot and seen a newby struggling to put his kit together, gone over to offer assistance and found out the poor guy has paid good cash for some crap of ebay, trading post etc. You help them out as much as possible to get their ramshackle kit on the water for their single windsurfing outing. They rarely come back.
Someone should do all future windsurfers a favour and buy up this old crap and put it in a museum or burn it.
Wow, i feel heaps better getting that of my chest
i must be having a bad day.
