I know right :s I was thinking the same thing.

Langford is a happy medium between a quick drive to Gordons and downtown. Downtown if you're near cook street it's alright, but I prefer gordons.

Also the added benefit of a little closer to the south island surf spots... I mean what South Island surf spots. lol

Here's a pic of the shortened US box vs the standard 8" box, I made for my twinzer to replace the slot boxes.

Cool, it's good idea how he made the mold, I was trying to figure out something when I was looking at slot boxes.

I would be tempted to add a layer of kevlar as well for impact and torque resistance, and use dcell instead of plywood.

I have been getting the 8" fin boxes from Swell Composites. They are Futures Strong Box (A-Box). Seem just as strong as Chinook's, but seem a little lighter in weight. They are a bit long for what is really required for thrusters. What I was looking for was 5 - 6" A-Box and haven't found ...

The US box I've got is 8", I owe him some dcell so if it works for him he can grab it.

could also try send rob at Roberts sailboards an email or call and see if he has some mini tuttles.

you check if Nelson Factory in Maui or Open Ocean in the Gorge, maybe they have some that they could sell you?

I have a US fin box, can't remember if it's 8 or 10.

Thanks jelly and Wdoc! Really sorry to hear that Lawrence. It looked like a significant sprain injury when you did it. Why such a long delay for surgery. It was ? October when that happened?

I'm going for ankle surgery so no coast or water this summer. Maybe this fall if I'm lucky.

Probably won't find another one, could try these guys, http://www.windpowerwindsurfing.com/, they have a few old mistral parts listed. Your board might have had the same cassette as an Mistral Equipe or One Design. Could maybe fix it by taking it out, copy the pattern, filling the cassette sides wit...

Want to, hoping for the best with the ankle.

not looking forward to bringing my own ice cream.

No idea on value on these mercedes vans, parts might be expensive, and in the 90s mercedes was plagued with electrical issues.

Why do people even bother? No pics, no info, $500... :roll: http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/wind-surfboard_27067537 oh but they sell black currant plants and hard drives!! :shock: The hard drives are almost more over priced than the windurf gear. The black current plants might be a good d...

Is there any foil the factories in China AREN'T selling off the back of the truck? I don't think there are any factories in china that don't let alone foil factories. It's what they do. I would also be worried about the knockoff quality, even they they are using the same molds, they might use few l...

compact is soo old school, now there are these peanut shapes, last year we saw surfboard's in the peanut shape, now freestyle and waveboards. No idea when they will turn up in production.
