Because I'm far to be the quickest on that race with my wave board, I take the Lancelin Ocean Classic as a fun no stress race...And why not to go oldschool!
I got an issue tho..
2 years ago, the legendary boad "Robby" Epoxy 295 was found on the verge almost thrown away....He had a second life finishing the race in all beauty using an old Josh Stone sail!
Then last year, had to do better and managed to get the full old school gear!
And finshed with style without fin for 100m till the finish
I need some help for this year... I don't have any old school gear!! And I also have to do better...
I'm sure many oldschool boards/sails/wetsuits are lost in the the back of your shed under 1m of dust...So if you are courageous to go that deep and find them, I would be super happy to borrow it for the race and give it a new blast!
Coz back in the days, windsurfing was flashy and super fashion!
Send me some pics of your gear (Older the better!) and I will be happy to pick it up!
Cheers
Kevin
I have an old windtec 8ft 10 inch epoxy board in good condition with fin you can use and keep.
Safety Bay Windsurfing Club has an old tandem board that needs dusting off if anyone is game to ride it on the LOC.

Hahaha!! I would love to see that, especially for the run off the beach! Someone do it!
Sick! Shotgun on the tandem! That wil be funny for the jybes..

Cheers Safety Bay Windsurf Club!
go and see steve strathfold @ the sails and windsurf centre. he has a windsurfing museum. much like jurrasic park im sure some of the dinosaurs hanging in his roof would like to roam free once more.
With a big delay (waiting for a windless week end!), a few pics with the tandem nicely lent by Safety Bay Windsurfing Club for the LOC
Thanks for everyone's support to get the ultimate gear... will be hard to do better next time!
A big Thanks to Safety Bay Windsurf Club, you made the race more fun!
PS: June or John can you tell me your address again... the board is claiming for his parents!
Awesome windsurf community... keep it up!
Great stuff and well done Kevin, I see you were only about 10 places behind the guns on the modern tandem 
Hi Kevin,
I have sent you a PM with contact phone number.
Lovely pink sails!
Thanks for sailing the tandem on behalf of the club. It is great to see it getting used.
