    Things have come on a bit since then !
    I was there to witness it all, short-boards, footstraps, clamp on booms, rotational rigs, retractable centre boards, monofilm sails, and a few evolutionary mistakes like cutaway rigs and anti-cavitation slots in skegs. And I still own quite a lot of the history - I wish I'd kept my old original Windsurfer and Bic 210 - I'm sure they're now design icons in some circles.

    I've noticed that modern boards are fatter and modern masts are thinner. Now you've got me going down memory lane I think I'll hire a board on holiday - I'll take my trusty Tushingham harness from 1989.

    I thought the cream you got from the Doctor had sorted out the ' old trouble '
