Note: These are all 2007 boards but there is a vast array of second hand light wind kit out there so don’t think you have to spend a small fortune to have some fun this summer! It sure beats sitting on the beach or worse still, shopping. Cruising around the bay, long distance sailing, and mini-fishing expeditions or sharing the joy of learning to windsurf with your nearest & dearest. So this summer, think outside the box and get into light wind sailing. Yes, you won’t be planing but who cares – you’re still windsurfing. There are loads of kit options to get you out onto the water. But this is the board that I knew would take me windsurfing into the age of 80 and hopefully beyond.For those of us who don’t live in the Canaries, the light wind months are upon us! But don’t despair just because you can’t get going on your 6m shouldn’t mean you give up on windsurfing completely over the summer. I still have the board at the age of 56 and had other Mistral boards as well.

I have so many fond memories of this board not only because it was the board I learned on but the board that provided many years of unforgettable fun and adventures. I bought my first board at the young age of 20. “Hello, I am a great and honoured fan of Mistral. Here’s a fantastic quote from a recent customer seeking parts. We’re keen to have you back on the water and we know it can take a bit of DIY and creativity in order to get your beloved board once again back to wind and water where it belongs! The best advice we can give you, is to Google Search, additionally it can sometimes pay to purchase another board simply to have the spares you need.

One is based in the UK 24-7 Boardsports where we know to be boxes of spares (you won’t see at the website, you will need to contact directly) and there are others such as Thea on-line parts. On the other hand we do have a few sources that we know to carry ‘New Old Stock’ and spares. We’re naturally very encouraged to hear of this and to receive your enquiries, however we can safely say, spare parts have not been made for such boards as the Mistral Competition, the Equipe and others for many years.Īs much as we would like to help directly, we can only assist indirectly. Many ‘Once were Windsurfers’ are finding time on their hands and are buying from eBay or simply digging into their stash of old kit and are wanting to get back on board. Usually, it is in relation to items such as the mast foot or mast tracks, where items have been lost or in the case of mechanical parts, have seized with a lack of use.

Testimony to the quality and longevity of Mistral products produced as far back as the mid 1980s, we here at Mistral Red Dot, receive regular emails regarding spare parts for such equipment and sometime older.
