It's in uk...don't know if international shipping is poss but thought I'd share...strange really it's not sold for a few weeks and I'd say it's not expensive, but doesn't seem to have a massive following here?? Why? Dunno I have the 91 112 137 and love em
Why not just buy a used Mark Nelson? They're all over.
These particular Mistrals are Chris Lockwood design..
I have one i may let go.... let the bidding begin:)

I wonder if he used CAD
I know we're parochial here, but there's a lot of us feel that slowboat designed stuff is special, and I think with good reason.
you can tell by the number of people who want one.
They are also a bit rare, am I right in thinking they were only produced for one year?
Well the designs are about as good as they come. I think they were in production a few years, as I recall Spotty having one around 2013/14 and I bought my last board a year ago.
I have the SL112, SP47 and SP41. All are fantastic boards.
I've been told that these designs are owned by Slowie and that if, as he has threatened, releases his own boards this summer, under the Tribal banner, we should be able to get our hands on new boards, which will be the same shape or very similar. I'm not privy to what stage he is at in terms of production but maybe if we all start chanting together 'we want a slowie board, we want a slowie boat (at a reasonable price), we want a slowie board....... PS - if you do buy a new board can I buy your second hand one please?
Just to tease you guys even more, we've spent the last week or so in Shark Bay and sailed the 91 exclusively with NP Evo 8 5.6 and 6.4, on both some of the flattest longest stretches of water I've ever seen and in some nasty short sharp choppy stuff, and it got me thinking while sailing around the pros and the cons of the board, it does take a particular technique to gybe it well, but ride comfort is where it really excels, and to be honest I don't know what I'd replace it with that would be a step up......
It's a shame CL can't get the moulds for the boards he designed and get them into production again......

I will swap you a mint 2014 RRD FSW 88 for your M91.
You will get a sweet gybe in addition to the comfort and ability in chop, that you already have.
I am totally in love with mine (91, 112, 137) and I think they are in a class of their own. I wish CL will get hold of the moulds and start having them manufactured, so I would be reassured there will be replacement when my ones eventually fail.
Got even better once fitted with the CL designed fins ... I wish Chris may spend more of his time in designing windsurfing stuff, he must be among the very best designers ever to say the least.

Chris was telling me he spent his Christmas break designing a new range of boards
Lol. Just posted mine to Seabreeze classifieds before I saw this thread. See www.seabreeze.com.au/Classifieds/Windsurfing-Boards/~vyvti/2013-Mistral-Slalom-91-litres.aspx?_page=1&search=MsVd7Fn%2F%2FIrz2wJoLe%2BWf8PfthSGSW%2BQ if interested.
