This one looks like an antique.... at least late 80's early 90's maybe? Would that qualify as "a few years old"?

I like the idea of ear protection provided by the Gath. Also, if I understand correctly from the website, the ear pieces are removable? Or can at least be opened up?

Kus,
Put me down for a XXL helmet. In red preferably, or yellow. Something easy to see from a distance.

Helmet preference?

What are others' preference for helmets? Also, where to get one in Victoria? I have read a bit about Gath and like their gear but I might be limited to one model because I have a XXL head. The other problem is I would like to try one on for fit and mail order from OZ doesn't seem to be a good idea f...

Rocdoc,

Yes, it is a 3M trainer kite.

If we post a sign warning people of hazards and what not to do doesn't that make us not liable? Some lawyers see the sign advising of dangers as an admittance of guilt. IE, you knew there was a risk to others, that is why you posted the sign. Therefore, you are liable for injuries inflicted by them...

here's another one

Can anyone tell me the reason for the tail on this board?? My neighbour had this and I told him it was worth maybe $20. He said he would donate it somewhere.... looks like whoever got it thought they could make some dough... [urlhttp://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/Awesome-Windsurfing-Board_257...
