About Patrick Dean
Expertise
Windsurfing expert. 20+ years windsurfing experience. I can give advice
about learning to windsurf, the best places to learn and the best
equipment to learn on. I can also offer advice on what equipment to
purchase based on your skill level, weight and sailing location. Ask me before you buy. The boards made in the last 5 or 6 years are so much easier to sail and learn on.
An advance word of advice: stay away from buying old boards unless you know exactly what you are buying and know that all parts are there. I get so many questions about how to set up old boards that usually end up being broken or missing parts and it is impossible to buy parts for these old boards.
Try not to buy a board that is more than 5 or 6 years old. As boards age they begin to absorb water. Once that occurs the board is toast and it happens with a lot of boards over 10 years old.
When you ask questions, please let me know what part of the world you are from so I can tailor the advice to your location.
Experience
I have been windsurfing for 20 years.

Question
How do I follow up on the information about the O'Brien parts below?
Topic: Surfing & Windsurfing

Subject: O'Brien Sailboard
Question
Hi, I tried sailing years ago on an old O'Brien Sailboard. The mast is now broken (fibers separated). I have all the parts except a mast. Short of using the board for a floating platform, all other pieces will be going to recycle or landfill. If you know anyone who would benefit or is looking for parts, I might have them - sail, daggerboard, removable rudder/keel/fin, wishbone, joint fastner to attach mast to board.

Answer
This forum does not give out email addressses so I am not sure how to handle this. Give me a few days to figure it out.
I gave Karen with the O'Brien parts my email address to contact me to put her in touch with you. Let me know your email address and if she contacts me I will put you both in touch.
