willywhit Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Platt is a kook- glad they sold off to a real surf shop- Nancy was cool, tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 yeah Platt was a bit odd though very gung ho about windsurfing back in the day. When did they sell out? was that when the name switched from Island Windsurfing to IW?. As for Redney, he's always been a prick to me so it's been 25 years since I've spent a dollar in his shop. I used to shop at Water Brothers but these days it's 7ply or Mile High Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to shop at Water Brothers but these days it's 7ply or Mile High I worked at Platt's shop way back when. When Bill owned Redney's he always treated me right. Water Bros has always been the the real deal shop tho. Sid would always cut ya deals when he had a buzz on. Sid is the man ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Pleasure! Nice score! I'm VERY happy somebody capitalized. You gotta jump on these last minute sales... Both my daily driver windsurf boards are frankenchristified with multiple repair jobs so I wanted to shoot down and see what they had, but I couldn't make it happen. :( Glad YOU did though. I did get some great cruising in with the family. We were out over 6 hours on saturday and had some fun stops. I even managed to collide with a police boat... No harm done...

Water Bros has always been the the real deal shop tho. Sid would always cut ya deals when he had a buzz on. Sid is the man ! Man, I knew there was something familiar about you. I started working for Platt and Nancy on Martha's Vineyard back in 1978, then managed the shop on MV from 1980-1982 after they moved the main operation to Newport. Also spent a winter running their Key Biscayne beach operation in 1982. Spent plenty of time chasing those two around race courses back in the triangle racing dayz too. I still have an original stock hog daggerboard that says "Lessons are cancelled - too much wind!" we used to hang on the board rack when it was too windy to teach and we were out sailing. Good times!

willywhit Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 AK, It's worth a trip to Newport just to check it out. Look up Gecko. Island Sports is stocked to the gills with cool water toys. I'll bet there's something in there that you can't live without. Swarthy Dan knows it's all about having good connections and being the right email list. I got my first Naish kite there with my 50% discount through the Providence Pheonix. Also scored 2 pairs of burton race plates 2 for 1 before I worked there. Remember my old Bic Presto sailboard dano ? bought it used there at a swap. Even met Gabby Reece across the street having breakfast before a volleyball tourney once. ps,dano- landed a kite yesterday and it was bill levins from dynastar/lange fame and stowe/ nantucket fame.Haven't seen him in years. btw,he doesn't windsurf anymore , either :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 whoa guys...my parents live in Newport, (so I visit faily often) across the reservior from IW but I live across the state in Westerly (the furthest west point of RI). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
