Free: Mid-90’s Gorge board, damaged

[Mark]

Attempt #3 to post…

Hey guys, just want to check if anyone is interested in taking this home before I send it off to the dumpster. Board is roughly 56cm wide and 274cm long, I believe it’s 90L volume, and has a Tuttle Fin box. It doesn’t have a normal mast track, but a two-bolt mast plate can be attached with 1/4-20 screws. The rail just ahead of the footstraps has been damaged on one side, and would need repair with glass to make it water-tight again. Perhaps a good platform for those wanting to practice their repair skills!

Edit: forum isn’t letting me post pictures or even links to pictures…

Hi Mark,

I’m sorry you had issues with posting a photo or links.  I had some updating that had to be done.  Hopefully it solves the problem and you can post a picture.  Try to edit (I don’t think you can after creation the post) to reply, or start another post about it and I can delete this one.

Your post sounds intriguing!  Hopefully the board is in your possession still.  What brand is the board?

Thanks Doug! It’s a Progressive Composites board, made in Columbia Gorge. I’ve never seen another one, or even heard anyone discuss them before…

Will try to post pics again! I do need to find a picture of the damaged area too, I’ll make sure it gets added as well.

Seems that more than one pic in the edit makes the post go away.

hmmm……

have you uploaded one image a a time?  Many updates ago (this site is powered by WordPress) you had to wait for one image upload to complete and then add another.  TIme consuming, but htat worked a couple years ago.

Nope, still the same deal no matter what I do. Two images either linked (from imgur) or uploaded (yes, I waited!) makes the post disappear upon clicking the submit button. One image is fine:

I see pics!!

Those were pretty good boards I think (based on old WindRider Magazine tests).  Interesting that it only has that two bolt base as an attachment point.  That would be fairly unique for the late 80’s I think.  Stuff had started to standardize then (not masts…that would take another decade!!!).

If nobody wants the board, save the two bolt base…..those are still standard, and cost $ new.
