Apologies...probably should be in Wanted but need this quickly...I have 2 beginners rigs. I have arranged for a visiting tourist who teaches windsurfing in his homeland to give me lessons on Monday. I wanted to put 2 adult rigs together so he can use one...I have everything to make up the 2 adult rigs except a mast base extension. (50mm Euro) The kids boom extends to the same size I used on my 4.8 on Monday so I think I am o.k there. (i.e kids mast and extension are much smaller in length and diameter).

Anyone got a spare one that I can borrow/rent or purchase. Need to pick it up on the weekend...prefer Eastern suburbs or southside Sydney.

I know its late asking but if you dont ask you dont get

Wow, only seconds ago...

What type do you need? I have a few spare chinook type extensions (and the bases to suit if needed), but no europin type.

The chinook style are the two-pin arrangement, and the europin are the single pin type.

I am in Gymea, so probably not that far away.

Thanks FN,

I am in Grays Point

I am a total ignoramus when it comes to the gear..as I have posted before...but willing to learn...I thought the pin relates to the universal connection (does it)?

In any case, to show you what I mean this is what I am after see photo (I have the 2 universals so only need the extension). I prefer to keep to one standard as it makes it easier in the long run.



Oh BTW...another thing an Iphone/smart phone has over a dumb phone (seperate post)..the ability to take a photo and upload immediately

I can lend you a spare universal and the mast extension if you can't find a europin version. I can even lend you two sets if you want to be able to swap between them.

Thanks FormulaNova, (and thanks Duncan for the other offer)

Being so close and so helpful I think I will take FM up on your offer and borrow just the one.

This way I can save up for a better one for when I progress and dont have to rush in.

I will PM you.

Thanks all.....be good if we can close a topic to save all the wasted reads ;-)

Gotta love this site and the windsurfing community in general...most helpful bunch of people I have met (better than surfers)
