No one I've asked knows the model.  All I know is I took him out a couple of weeks ago and he returned in one piece.  He's still in relatively good condition.  Footstraps will have to be changed though.  I'm loath to part with him if not for the ridiculous price hike at PA.  First they riase the price of storage, then they turn off the vending machine.  Killing me softly, killing me softly.  Oh, you can take a look at him at:

Or log on to www.leonalo.com, click on "Literary Works", then click on "Ode to Starboard".  This board comes with an erotic poem.    

Anyway, I'm selling him at $100 + complimentary copy of "My Sisters, Their Stories" - vintage eroticism.  

Please email leona@leonalo.com for queries.

its a starboard W75. this is a piece of history, Jason Chang and me were at its original shaping (most of the work was done by Jamie Lever). If anyone ever complained about the low volume in the nose its our fault, we kept asking Jamie & Svein to thin the nose down on the proto. its pretty much how bluefinz got started.

the very first proto was all wood, no paint and no non slip, we used surf wax to test it at pattaya. one sail on it and we were all sold on the wide board concept and to think at that time 75cm width was considered radical.

i do hope this does not mean you are bowing out of windsurfing....

So sad.  I really don't want to let him go.  Maybe I could do a ceremonial sending off with flowers and all that, and see where he drifts to.  Could ask Yvonne to stand by at Mana Mana.
