.... well not my own of course since I started in the late 90's.
I thought some of you might enjoy taking a trip down memory lane.
Only board in there I recognize (by sight) are the 95-96 F2 boards.

Apologies if this is a duplicate (from over a year ago), but I couldn't find it on the forum already. |

Fun trip back in time! I sure recognized a lot of those. And also noticed a lot that were missing. That was indeed a golden era, and those old ads brought back some great memories. |

Yeah, that was fun. I certainly remember some of those Bic and HiFly ads ... dreaming about things I could not yet afford. For some reason, though, I keep coming back to the Marlin ad. |

I bought a f2 sunset race for a lightwind board in 1990 after returning to Connecticut from an 8 month stay in Maui. Fast board that did a decent turn, had alot of fun with it, and still have it but don't use it, as I now have an '07 Starboard kombat 107, which is more fun but not as fast. |

Wow, what an impressive list. Having bought my first board in '84, I either owned, borrowed or went riding on many of those boards.
However, I had no idea that there were so many brands in production during those years. My exposure was only to those that retailers in my city were selling, plus a few that visitors had as they passed through the area.
Great job. |

From the list, I'm still riding a modified RRD 76 as my big board in the
Gorge. It's great for 5.5 to 6.7.

Thanks Jay, An impressive list! I had a board made by Fleetwood that had 2 footstraps on the tail of the board like the F2's pictured. Fun to ride with your feet in both back straps and ride the fin! |

Love the E.T. reference! And the hair, I had hair like that guy on the right. If your was cut around your ears it meant either you were in the military or worked a McDonald's. |
