FLAT DECK / ONE DESIGN RE-ENGINEERED RETRO WINDSURF BOARD
Back in the late 60’s, when Jim Drake and Hoyle Schweitzer invented the original Windsurfer, windsurfing took off as a sport and within the late 70’s became the World’s quickest growing water activity. The Windsurfer LT emphasises the features and style that made windsurfing so popular, enabling old school freestyling, amazing glide in light wind and versatility that only a longboard can offer.
The Windsurfer LT retro windsurf board gives you the tools to be part of the future and re-live memories of the past.
Key highlights -
> Rediscover the wonders of windsurfing - The new Windsurfer is floatier, faster, more stable and a huge step forward as the 50 year gap would indicate. It will help you rediscover the wonders of windsurfing through its focus on light and shifty winds. The Windsurfer LT brings back what made the sport accessible and exciting for most people, most places on most days.
> Merging windsurfing history - Our Starboard version sports the original windsurfer logo and showcases the Starboard, Drake and Schweitzer connection, solidifying the legendary position of our brand in the world of windsurfing.
> A user-friendly board for the masses - “The new Windsurf LT planes out much faster & easier than the old stock windsurfer. With the lighter design & increased volume, this is a very user-friendly board for the masses. With this type of board, this could be the key that is needed to give windsurfing its much-deserved comeback in light wind conditions!”
Matt Schweitzer – the living legend who´s father invented Windsurfing. Matt won his first World Championship Windsurfing title at the young age of 16 and is considered being one of the most historical and influential windsurfers all time.
> Amazing upwind abilities - The Windsurfer LT has a fully retractable daggerboard. The exceptional glide of the board together with the daggerboard makes it easy, stable and smooth to ride everywhere you want.
> One design or flat deck - The Windsurfer LT is available in two versions. The One Design version comes with a wider, faster racing daggerboard that protrudes above the deck. The Flat Deck version comes with a narrower daggerboard that keeps the deck flat and clutter-free.
> Soft EVA deck - The deck is covered with a soft EVA pad that increases comfort and grip.
> Plug and ride. Tool-less powerbox - With the tool-less system you don’t need any tools to set up your board.
> A board for progression - Learning on the Windsurfer was a dream a come true. The board is a breeze to stand on and easily maneuvered where ever I wanted it to go.
WINDSURFER RIG 5.7
The Windsurfer LT’s rig is made by a two pieces 460 SDM carbon mast, a 180-240 boom, a mast base and joint and a racing 5.7 sqm mylar sail.
I have used this board on flat water in calm and very windy conditions. I really like this board it handles really well, is a pleasure to paddle and seems quite quick. one of the reasons for choosing this board was it is designed for lighter weight paddlers, it really does fit the bill in that respect. All in all a brilliant board. In addition the service I received from Poole Harbour Watersports was excellent.
Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size and had to return for an exchange, couldn’t speak highly enough of the service I received being kept updated along the way and the new coat being dispatched as soon as it was back in stock. Thank you
