Found these old photo's of the windsurfing learning days. Love the fluro gear and the perm!
If anyone has some old windsurfing photo's put them on the forums so we can all have a good laugh!
This shot has been posted before, but looking at the windsurfing gear Steve and I had back then (25 years ago), not too much has changed 
I think I have posted this photo before. Its the west inlet at Stanley, the board is a Bombora dromadary the year is 1981-2.
wow dave thats alot of gear layed out i spose dad and i would have alot too
i wont post any thing my oldest pic is from 2006,so not that old
noticed in the east inlet last time i was at Stanley i think about 30m in length and about 10m high, has been knocked off the end and that was a solid bit of sand dune too.
Al, that is pretty vintage! Going quick too. Never actually sailed a Dromedary, but have seen a few. If they were made out of carbon and given a good fin they'd give the designs of today a run for their money!!
Couple of my pictures in the mid to late 80's...i think.The pic with the x on it is at one of lagoons near scamander.while the other is at port sorell with my mate shaun in front.
Thanks Houston that is Jack van Ek first day ever on a windsurfer on the lake going into Sisters Beach NW coast Tas. He broke the excuse for a universal J just after the pic and I had to wait for another day for my first go. The boom was an wooden one the owner was Mark Fitzgerald. Only ever seen him once since then about 25 years ago
It's not old by the standards of all the old blokes posts on here, but it is great memories. Every one loves wedding photos. I've been with Ezzy for 15 years now and our relationship is still going strong, even the one in white hasn't tried to seperate us!
THE BIG BLOKE HOLDING THE RIG LOOKS SMARTER

Dam!EB! that got me going, bugga! I think it must be sand in my eyes!
Still rubbing the sand from my eyes 30 knot southerly again.[}:)]Have a photo of the big fella holding an Ezzy myself.Rip
RIP the big fella! And all the other smart ones!
Father...or should I say Farter. RIP. I loved your wedding guys, a big windsurfing function.
Think about Kenny all the time, he and Pete are no doubt in windsurfing heaven having a blast. xxx
that pic with the cross looks like me at diannas basin with my old blue wind series chest harness on but who knows i rember being there that day it was very muddy haha
Goats in 1982. Mark Paul and some Hobart dude sailing and pretty much everyone else, me included, having a bit of a swim after our gear in the rip, lots of fun. Mark Paul was shredding (by the standards of 1982).
