Just end up with 2 boards - Tyronsea Falcon & Tyronsea Slalom 295. 25 years old approx. Have been gathering dust in a garage for 20 years. Were destined for council junk heap. Also got 2 sails, a broken boom, a long one piece mast & a box of assorted stuff.

Both look in pretty good shape.

Really heavy.

What are these like to sail?

Morgan, both are ok, except on the Falcon the "plug" at the front needs to be glued back on.

i've ridden the 295. that deck is probably super slippery now, even with booties?

certainly durable and fairly stable for learners, and they plane (but heeeeaaavy)

I learnt on a 295 was great days back then, just beware that the fin boxes are only plastic with no support and can't handle a big fin.

Mal the tyronsea falcon good light wind crusier, tyronsea 295 do the windsurfing world a favour and run a saw through it. Those boards had way to much rocker and took soooo much wind to plane.Designs of that era weren't good and reaaly hampered peoples progress.
