Windsurf - Ten Cate - Board Manufacturer - 1980s

[@laowai2000]

Brings back memories. Spent so many hours on the Ten Cate Runner as a kid.

I had a hi fly and then went on to a bic210s about 83/4 , sailed to 2005 retired from windsurfing at 45 years old . Travelled and windsurfed in many countries , a great fun watersport , wish I was young again, straight back to windsurfing

Great to see this, I had a Spacer, my first board with footstraps. Learned to jump on it!

I have a Ten Cat Spacer 83", still very good and, almost, sailing here in Uruguay, in 2022. I need the base of the mast, and nothing else. She is complete, dry and with everything 100% I bought it today. Already dreaming of lots of fun for the kids this summer. Where can I get the base of the mast... There will be the possibility of adapting it with a more modern base, or is it better to give a "mini-refit", only in polyester, old and modernize everything or wait and keep the "old School.. You doubt...🤔🤨🙄😶

Epic. I got into windsurfing in 83 and those were wicked board designs for the time. I never sailed a TC but now that I see them, wish I did.

I had all of those boards in 83 we used to sell them in Israel man those where incredible

Leuk om te zien. Ik had een TC36 in 1981. Later ook een Leaper. Nu woon ik in Almelo. Weet iemand waar precies de boards gemaakt werden?

About to try out my old TC Beacher as a paddle board. Got bets as to whether it's stable enough to paddle on it while sitting on a fold up chair. I reckon it will be the only sailboard ever made that could do it. If it works, next trick will be bringing a fishing rod & drink esky. :D

where do you find original parts for the Windsurfer ?

[@Phaidrus]

You most probably can't, they're too original to have survived.

[@NebraskaWindsurfer]

They had a production Twinser!

[@juanschwabbobb]

We was rough boys on board🤙
