Hi guys
Turfdog Land windsurf boards is under new management. We have been doing some research into are boards and have seen a lot of talks about are boards on this forum.

Thanks Mike
Would love one of your boards, but I find it really hard to justify the cost. No offence.
Its not as bad now with the dollar being a bit stronger, your boards are only around $600. Before they were around $750 which is way more than I could drop on something I'm not certain will get used a lot. $600 is still a decent 2nd hand windsurf board.
I agree, definitely the interest is there but for that money I can think of a bunch of other things that could buy that would probably get more use.
Also it would be nice if there were some boards here that people could try out to see of they like it or not. All I have seen is vid's and its just not enough to convince me this would be something I am going to enjoy.
Maybe you need to get someone out here to partner up with send him some free boards and get him to drag those with him to windsurf events etc... then people could try em out and perhaps be more inclined to order??? After a while you could see what sort of interest they had generated and take the next steps.
But you still need to do something about the price because I can build a turfdog-esque board for myself for a fraction of the price out of an old snowboard, scateboard trunks and a shopping trolly!
Thanks for replying so quickly to us guys and sorry about the spelling!
If I was looking at setting up somewhere to have these boards tested in Australia. I was thinking of a couple of shops I could get interested in the boards. Does anyone have any names or emails for shops in areas where people are interested in these types of boards.
Also in reply to the just drill a hole in a skateboard. I used to do that in it works really well and is a laugh. The only problem is it does not simulate mast foot pressure in the same way as turfdog does. Thats why I got involved in turfdog as it improved my sailing so much when I could not get on the water, as it give a more realistic simulation.
I would say if you just want to mess about when there s no wind then go for the skate board or mountain board. However if you want a significant improvement in your windsurfing on land and learn the basis for modern freestyle e.t.c then go for a turfdog.
Thanks Mike

Hey guys a couple of us have got a sponsorship from a local mob for landboarding- has improved freestyle moves heaps. Definitely a dedicated mountainboard will improve your handling skills. We will post a vid really soon meanwhile look at this guy
