Move the decimal point to the left by 2 places and this gear is still way overpriced.

No, the prices are right. The waitata is stuffed with $499 worth of cocaine.

I'd say at least half of the stuff advertised on Seabreeze is overpriced. There are plenty of sellers that price their gear right but too many that don't seem to have a clue. I have seen plenty of used sails people are trying to sell for more than what the same sail would cost new at a shop.

Darra is a awesome place to visit!!! NOT!!!

The drugs are probably cheaper than the windsurfing gear by the looks of the add.

I loved my Waitata II, but those prices are about what I sold mine for secondhand 20 years ago.

considering Waitata is Aboriginal for speed and it is being sold in the speed capital of Queensland is kinda ironic.......any North Ices for sale in Caboolture?

290 x 60. No idea of volume.

The waitata had such a deep double concave you almost had to decide which concave to ride on. Maybe they were onto something.

I always thought they were around 120 liters, but I was pretty skinny back in the day, but I don't remember it being crazy floaty

And yes, the double concaves were deep. The board planed super early, was really light for its vintage and it gybed nicely in chop. Of all the boards I owned back in the day the Waitata II was easily my fav. Would love to ride on these days just to see if it was really as good as I remember, but I'm not going to splash out $200, let alone $500.

How about this one I picked up from a fellow windsurfer who obtained 5 of them all never been in the water. Circa about 1995 maybe??
Tried it out yesterday and today with pleasing results. 24.5 kts so far. Felt bad getting it wet, close to a collectors item!

1988, Jervis Bay, when a Waitata was worth $500.

Can you believe someone would leave this little beauty, an original Wind Fx speed machine shaped by Mr Brown himself, going for free at the Burrum Heads caravan park!

Good spot AuzMoz.
Upon careful inspection of the full ad, I think we have a new club house leader.
Here it is,
