After 16 years of sailing,the latter ones being mainly competitive,I felt that it was time for a change.Fortunately it was at about this time that windsurfing was beginning to be introduced to UK.
The first commercially available board at that time was called the Windsurfer and was produced by Tencate of Holland.This was rather beyond my means at the time,so I settled for a TC36 model from the same range.The brochure pics are shown below
