OMG, this takes me back literally 3 1/2 decades! I remember those triangular sails and using a chest harness for the first time! Also the incredibly limited steering response of those great logs of boards. The full set of footstraps whose sole purpose was to trip up beginners - I got ONE foot in ONE of them, ONCE! And the inevitable sense of exhaustion as you dragged the rig back to the car and then more so when you had to go back again with the wheels to stick on the board because it was just too heavy to carry after a session! My first board was a Bombora 360 with a 5.5m completely batten-less sail. For some stupid reason I even brought it back to the UK with me.... My back and my arms still ache just thinking about it! But it was still worth it!
my story seems to be every 57yr old windsurfers story" watched a UK intructional video filmed on a coffee coloured lake' booked my 5 hr course, then saw this vid' thought it was a different sport"' this Vid made me save up and buy every F2 through the nineties', always holiday in fuerte' often see Jurgen out on the water on his Sup or homemade custom W/s boards he still is " bloody good" have met him and shaken his hand" a real hero and pioneer" great times " great boards""
I had the F2 Comet and F2 Starlit. Frend of mine had the F2 Bullit. Holiday on cran canaria and met the dad of Dunkerbeck. Dunkerbeck now has his own windsurf rental on Bonaire, a beautiful place, check out his website.
It is a mix of fuerteventura beaches. The F2 Lightning part is definitely on Cotillo beach. The F2 stratos looks like Corralejo side beaches, cannot be sure exactly but can see Lobos. The other video part of the F2 Comet is North Shore and that can be varied. The small part of the video with the tiny sinker board is in the lagoons between Cotillo and the lighthouse. I only know the last one because we asked Jurgen once in his shop. All the beaches looked fantastic when i first saw the video...
These were the best times of my life. I wanted a Stratos so bad but I made do with my O’Brien Sensation until moving up to their Columbia Concave which I believe was the first Gorge influenced production board of all time. I obsessed in windsurfing as a kid. I miss those times.
Haaa-haaa Yeaah Tboudou71 I must Agree about the Music...Haaa-haa...I just acquired the COMET Windsurf shown on 11:01....I'm so looking Forward to starting my First lesson in Windsurfing.
Este video fue lo que ocasionó la invasión fuerteveturesca, antes que el surf, fuerteventura en el 87 pocos la apreciaban para surfear debido al viento. VHS; había un video en frances que yo lo tengo en vhs y no entiendo porque te lo han censurado, era el video de cuando el windsurf estaba en mayor auge que el surf co Dave Kalama Gerry Lopez ect

This is fake. Jurgen is planning with almost no wind, and he's jumping 25Kg boards. No way :p) These guys are my heroes. Honscheid, Zimmer, Boyd, Maisonville and Robby... That's what is called getting old I guess.

I loved my Lightning and this is where I first saw it and Fuerteventura. Many happy memories indeed.
Happy memories indeed. Those were the days !
I bought the F2 Comet when it came out.
F2 Lightning, mi primera tabla, ¡qué buenos tiempos¡. Aún la guardo como un tesoro.

toute ma jeunesse de windsurfer!...j'adore
I used to sell these in the eighties from my Gold Coast sailboarding shop, we all raced lightnings with 8.8 mtg sails plus...
These were the best times of my life. I wanted a Stratos so bad but I made do with my O’Brien Sensation until moving up to their Columbia Concave which I believe was the first Gorge influenced production board of all time. I obsessed in windsurfing as a kid. I miss those times.
