getholdofgraeme Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 hi guys, does anyone know what a lightwave 169 twintip go for these days. I have a as new one with an brunotti boardbag for sale for 200 pounds and it doesnt seem as if anyone is interested? Quote
ROB1597507353 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Am I right in thinking this is a good board to learn on? If so, I may be interested. Thanks, Rob. Quote
Adrena1in Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Depends on the year of the board of course. I have one, (currently on loan to Ruch 1981), which is alone worth around £150. I think it's a 2002, or even a 2001 model. Quote
getholdofgraeme Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Posted January 19, 2005 its the 03 model. i bought it new in beginning of last year and never used it. and yeah its a great board to learn on, hence the reason i bought it Quote
monkeyinshower Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Well I bought a 03/04 model about 6-9 Months ago from Whitsable Windsurfing, was 2nd hand but as good as new, with a North Shore board bag. - I paid £250. As you say, brilliant board to learn with though. I don't think £200 is unreasonable. Quote
getholdofgraeme Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Posted January 19, 2005 cheers for that mate. i thought it was a good price especially with a free 50 pound bag, but doesnt seem anyone want it Quote
spooky Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Hi G, if it has the Flames on then it is a 03 board. big improvment over the 02 in terms of flex, weight and edging. Wrong time of year really as cold, so not many beginners about. Plus the trend to go for smaller boards (whch means bigger kites and hence more safety isues/injuries, when on land as now over powereed but thats just my opinion!!) whch is a shame as this is a top board. Rob, yes this woudl be a very good beginners, board. was aimed at a high ability when it was launche BUT it is still very very good. And will take you beyound beginner to intermidates due to the flex/edges which means it can handle loads of power (unlike some smaller rounded edge boards) yet will still get going in light winds, with a sencible size kite. Oh yes and they are bomb proof you can rid these up the beach and hit rocks if you need to? The board that is, if your still attached to it when you hit the rocks, not looking to good for you!! lol Best of luck, Jon Quote
