Gday,

does anyone know where I could find an old school long raceboard like the type I used to race in the late eighties. I would like to get hold of anything like a Tiga Pro, Hifly race, Jim French, Wright Designs etc. There used to be a bunch of them in Perth I just hope they weren't all sacrificed to huey in the slalom craze of the 90's. Its Ok if it needs a little work as I am familiar with board repair.

there's a HiFly race on E-bay at the moment. Might cost a bit for freight from 1 side of Aus to the other....

Try asking on lbwindsurfing.com (that's a longboard site, and a good Aussie run one at that)

Walive,
I have a Hi-Fly pro race in reasonable condition if you're interested. PM me and I can send some photos. (Hasn't been ridden since I left home in 1986 for uni)
Don't know how much it would be worth though and what transport cost would be?

G'day Laurence!

Got a 1993 Mistral One Design here with your name all over it.

Have you sailed one? They are a fair bit quicker than the old Jim French etc, both on and off the breeze

wouldn't the f2 lightning race be the pick of the old long race boards? or the mistral equivelent? they were the last of the era and were carbon.
Robbie N even managed a forward on his mistral raceboard

Hey Chris,

I will contact you about the IMCO board, I raced the first IMCO nationals which would have been on be the same era board as the one you have.
Oh I wish I knew where my Wright designs ended up.
Is your IMCO package in good nick.

I have a near mint condition Cobra Slalom 280 i think it is in the rafters... took it out sailing only a few weeks ago... beautiful and light board... might be keen to sell it...

Is this the kind of board you are looking for?
