Examine the groins of everyone who owned one. I'm sure they're still deeply embedded in some of them.

Back then, we had a guy on the beach that hot glued them in the board for everyone for $2.00
So take a modern foot and build a wooden adapter shim that jams in nicely. Then take a hot glue stick and melt some glue on it right before you jam it in there. |
I remember back in the late 70's renting the Windsurfer at Sail New Haven.
I paid my $15 for the hour rental and the girl gave me a piece of carpet and told me to go to the beach and pick a rig and board.
I was confused on what the carpet was for until she showed me to put the carpet in the slot and jam in the mast foot. And she said " when you uphaul keep your foot on the wooden thing" Yeah it did not go so well.
But 37 years later I am still hooked. |
I like your prose.
What did the girl look like...?
