Windsurfing with a Mistral - the hot new technology at the time. Way back when.

That actually looks like a Bic sailboard. Believe it or not, they still make sailboards! www.bicsportwindsurf.com/products/index.php?sportid=1&catid=43&rangeid=166&prodid=371&year=2007&lang=us

Yeah, I think you're right. Was Bic originally called Dufour? I'm pretty sure this was made by Dufour - it was my first sailboard in Sydney a long time ago.

Yes, the first boards of that type were made by Dufour wing. See: www.bicsportwindsurf.com/about/index.php?sportid=1&lang=us

I worked for Barlow Winches in Australia back when they were the first to import sailboards into Australia. We imported the Dufours and they were great for calm days in Sydney Harbor. It didn't take long for people to discover the need for shorter, higher wind boards for use outside the Harbor.

If anyone is interested,I still have a Dufour windsurfer that I would like to sell complete for $300

I remember racing a Bic like this. It was quite fast on a lake!
