How to use search in Buy & Sell section ?

Suppose that I am looking for 460 cm mast and type "460"

That doesn't bring any results but there are plenty of items with 460 in the tittle.

In fact I am looking for 520 cm mast but there are not so common- I will not be surprised if doesn't bring a lot results. This also mean that I need manually go through all the listing. But for test I used 460 and still doesn't come with anything

Do I miss something ?

Are you using the Mega search?

I just did a search using Mega search, and just used the keyword mast, under 'Windsurfing - all'.

There were a few results, and at least one 490 still for sale in Qld.

I am using Mega Search ( but in fact basic search should bring even more results - one may think)










just one pop out but I am sure there are more

Yeah, I suspect the search engine can't pick up some things, so I try to make it general enough until I get hits.

I searched with 'mast' as the keyword, and although it required a bit of reading, worked okay.

Just went through same process looking for a 490. Here is how I narrowed it down. Opened buy and sell, typed in mast in the quick search. Once I had them in there, looked at price high to low, knowing what I was looking for and a 490 being a tad more expensive than those smaller, although now you can highlight long to short. Bobs your Uncle.
One word of caution, in the lower section of buy and sell (no photo) the list start once more.

I can see there's a 460 North platinum at SurfFx in Southport.
..which is exactly what you are looking for and about 5 minutes drive away.
And cheap. Only $299!

Most forum search engines suck. Go to google and type in 460=seabreeze.com.au

Too true. .. neat trick with google.

Here's anothery for google, the "inurl:", and "site:"

To search for "windy" in the windsurfing forums, for e.g.

"windy inurl:forums/windsurfing site:seabreeze.com.au"

or all forums:

"windy inurl:forums site:seabreeze.com.au"

(the "url" is the address at the top of your browser .. geek acronym for "universal resource locator")
