Boards boards boards!


I found some old shots of boards in a box this morning. That got me thinking about all the boards I've had over the years.... So, here's the list to the best of my ability to remember all of 'em! (in kinda chronological order, but not really)

It all started in 1982 with the original stock Windsurfer...
