Something about those days, custom was king just look at the ideas about.
Well done sail quick the boards look so cool. Looking forward to your posts
I would try windgenuity for a nice us box pointer fin. I got a g10 pro limit 30cm "the blade" under $80 hope they have something left.
Cheers Russ
it looks like you have a windrush mast track, how great were they and so basic
Great fun and extremely satisfying to have it work so well!
Windgenuity have none of these fins left sold to SUP users!!

Boogie can do special orders for Venom's with a US Box, I've got a 30cm one. Great thread. 
Dave keep it for when you have a go on the Allegro or my other speed board
I had a run yesterday on the backend of a seabreesze, just not enough wind. next big day at Dorans let's have a 5 x 10 comp on the old guns you can choose
Should be fun
Cheers Russ
Russ, next time we catch up I'll give it to you so you can see what speeds you can do. It's a good size, not too small, not too big!! Good for 40+ for sure.
I remenber Chris D from here in SA had Boogie from C3 make him a custom US box speed fin to fit into his starboard Kode so it can be done. pretty sure he sold it here on seabreeze so might be the one aus02 has.
Just a question !!
are we talking about a comp !
of pre "bolt through" fins ?????
just to out line the guide lines
??
great fun reading about the old gear
even with out getting the old stuff out he shed.
(mine has a bold through fin)
shock horror.......
Hi S018,
This Comp if for everyone Its about sharing our rich speed sailing history and having fun!!
Most of us have older gear from a past era 1980, 1990, 2000 that we have kept and you never sold. I know why, because some part of you could never part with it. Now is the time to give it one more run just for fun share your story with us.
votes will be given for the best story and results obtained on the water as voted by everyone if you are in the comp or not. for example Tony Wyn story of finding his old watercooled speed board and now fixing it up to run is what this comp is all about. and a fantastic story.
Finding fins and sails is all part of the fun of this comp and part of what makes Old Guns Rule
Cheers Russ
Looking forward to a run with it Dave.
Sunday Marion???
Need some wind soon
Greg at Windgenuity very kindly gave me a brand new 5.0 North Pyro 3D 1998 he had hidden away for 14 years ready to go with the Bic Allegro
ready for 33 target
looks like this only green and white. I will donate sail to Windsurfing Tas after the event is over. Thanks Greg
Wow, that will be pretty cool, especially with a good boom!! Be great to get photos and GPS tracks of the run.
Ok I'm ready for the next blast with the old gun and North Pyro 5.0 sail.
How is everyone going?
Are there other old guns ready for one more run?
P.S Hot fin Dave
I have found that Lessacher can do custom A box fins as well. Hopefully, I have a 25cm speed Duo rake 30 on the way soon for the Speed Tandem board!
I also found that Vector can so some of their fins in A box on special order. I have ordered a 25cm 40 degree Vector Delta weed for the Tandem as well to be ready for the next big blow in Lake George, if and when the water comes back! I have no doubt the old girl will crack 40 knots there in the right conditions.
yeah i remember when i seen pascal 4 the first time in the mid 80s at mandurah and he rolled up in a hire truck with it full of gear i was just a teenager and had never seen so much gear and those boards were like pencils and fred haywood was in this video and said he went so fast his hair fell out that was so funny back then maybe that is why there is so many bald sailers now those speeds are most sessions we do ive got some old wild wind sails from early 2 mid 90s a 6.8, and a 7.3 and a old daryl wilkes slalom would be some fun 4 old time sake !
sailquick,
Would 40knots be a world record?
Looking forward to the attempt tandem could take off again
I am going to order a us box delta 25 as well for my Bic allegro.
If I go to Stanley next time it is on, I will have a good chance of a big number as well I hope.
stay Happy Russ
