Longboard windsurfing as it is meant to be on the iconic Mistral Equipe 2 raceboard.
A different experience than modern Slalom windsurfing, but just as much fun. Wonderful long distance sailing. No compromises, just straight forward. It was fun on the Hourtin lake in West France. A beautiful location.
The Mistral Equipe is and remains a great racing board, priceless back in the days when I was young and still highly sought after today. In my windsurfing scene, more and more "older" friends go longboarding, away from extreme slalom sailing with sensitive and expensive equipment.
Just a large GA-Sails 9.2 m2 good mast and boom and you can cover a very large wind range.
Enjoy this video when you don't have time to go windsurfing yourself or on cold winter days for example ;)
