The Good Old Days

Left picture Might looks like dirty snow but is actually sand. That board was was bought end of spring '85 that's why I started on sand dunes and not on snow!

No brand board, 1,5cm stack tip to tail, hella stiff like a door, edgesless build, small swallow tail, and 3 aluminium fins....

High end bindings made of re-cut PVC pipes, velcro strips as straps and no highbacks "surfy" style......

Right picture : Said board next winter in the Pyrénées Mountains....You can imagine the good times I had learning to board on snow with gear like that.......Haha.....

Today's gear is so much fun, but I feel lucky having started boarding in the 80's with that kind of gear. It truly was good old years, and something i will never forget no matter how hardwork it was.....
