Special Notice:

A store has decided to drop windsurfing and focus on kitesurfing. As a result, they are looking to clear out all the remaining items in stock providing people with a great opportunity to get a new fin to extend the range of your board, replace that worn out part or get a nice board bag for your board.  Some of the items that are labelled as used are possibly still new but just have some marks on them from sitting around.  As a favour to the owner, I agreed to bring the remaining stock back to Ottawa and try to sell it on his behalf.

If you want to purchase an item, email me at slaby@magma.ca.

If you are interested in looking at what's available, I will tentatively have a windsurfing "garage sale" at my house next week on Wednesday evening but only if people express interest in dropping by (again, email me at slaby@magma.ca). This could also be a good opportunity to drop by to pick up items you commit to purchase.  Some pictures are available here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ottawaws/sets/72157619550799413/

First come, first served ;-)

Note: Cost column are guesstimates. If you feel something is overpriced, just make an offer.

Update Sept 16: This stuff has got to go...any reasonable offer won't be refused!

WARNING: Scammer(s) have been sending emails to people with gear listed here. The scam goes something like this; they offer to send a "certified cheque" (either theirs or someone else who owes them money) for more than what you are asking for your goods and ask you to send the difference back to them (wire the money or a certified cheque). They will arrange for someone to come by to pick up the goods. The cheque you receive is fake , but the money you send them is real.  You can report these criminals to http://www.recol.ca.  If something sounds fishy, check the net to see if its a scam before sending money or shipping your goods. If anyone outside of town pays you with a cheque,  tell them you will wait for it to clear before sending any goods (at least 20-30 days for a US cheque).

URGENTLY WANTED:  Solid wind, preferably southwest, 20 - 30 knots, for eight consistent hours.  If southwest not possible, northwest or northeast is acceptable. Will drive to obtain.  Call or email with information.  Price ->Priceless All windsurfers! xx/xx/xx

Looking for medium/large boards and sails (in decent condition but very cheap) to start windsurfing school at the Aylmer marina. François Cremer, École de voile de l'Outaouais  
(819) 771-1690
Apr 8

Wanted:  Cheaper board to fit an already existing mast setup (the mast base was very basic - round inner piece with two protruding/retractable bumps that clipped into 2 small holes at the bottom of the base - looked like this base http://www.the-house.com/ch510zzchinook.html). I inherited a windsurfer with the cottage I bought and enjoyed the heck out of it last summer, even though our lake is a little too small to get really good winds.   Sadly, someone decided to steal the board - although they left the mast, sail and boom.  In any event, I think it was a mid-90's board, maybe Mistral.  About 10 ½ feet long.  Lots of volume (myself and my niece - 230 lbs total? - could sit on it and it wouldn't sink). I'm 170lbs and looking for a relatively cheap replacement - old or new style.  If anyone has something wasting away in their garage and you think it might be a good replacement for mine, please give me a ring.  If you've got a full rig and want to see it all together, I might consider it as well.

I am looking for a boom to fit a 5.0 sail up to 6.0. i am looking for something fairly affordable (anywhere up to 200 dollars) Jeffrey_clifford#hotmail.com Aug 27
Wanted:  Complete windsurfer rig that is suitable for a competent beginner-intermediate surfer (all my experience is on an old windsurfer one-design and I am looking for something easy but a bit more technical to move up to).  I am about 170 lbs and I can't water start (yet) so I prefer a bigger board.  I also like the ability to sail in light winds. Would also be interested in gear (Wetsuit, harness). Alternatively I would love to cost-share with someone who keeps a board close to the water!

Reason of selling, I received my new toy. Comes with Straps and fin. Price $1100.00 not negotiable.

2008 KA Koncept 7.5 Brand new, ready for those lighter days in the '09 season! The Koncept is a high performance sail. Undisputed for its top end speed, the Koncept has topped the GPS standings in 2006 and 2007. The Koncept is remarkably light feeling and offers a wide tuning range in each size. Easy pumping delivers quick planning and fast transitions while rock solid stability allows for excellent control unlocking potential for maximum top end. The moderate depth luff pocket and three cam configuration makes rigging and tuning easy straight out of the bag.

Trident padded gear bag with wheels. Lots of room for all sorts of gear, from wakeboards, snowboarding, kitesurfing and windsurfing equipment. Bag is 180cm x 60cm. Depth is hard to judge since its a soft bag but I would guess 25cm on average?

The bag consists of two seperate compartments, one narrower one for board(s), and the other for all the other assorted gear and a small internal zippered compartment for tools/fins/etc.

In the winter I've also used it to bring two snowboards, boots and all my related gear on snowboarding holidays.

2009 Naish Helix 9m $1095

 

The Helix continues to lead the revolutionary Sigma Series. For 2009, it has been totally redesigned to provide incredible wind range, super fast turning, even when depowered. Has great upwind ability, is super easy water relaunch; also with a more direct, light & responsive bar feel gives it a huge wind range, it glides through the window with reliable speed - so it's stable, never jerky.  These improvements have been achieved by reducing the number of struts, lowering the aspect ratio, developing a new bridle platform and reworking the arc; making it the first ever Geo Tech Generated C-Shaped arc. Great power through turns or loops, super stable power delivery even in gusty conditions, massive depower, and fun hangtime, etc. Smartloop under bar trim. One pump octopussy inflation. Beginners to advanced riders use this kite from just learning to unhooked, wakestyle tricks, to waveriding. It's the top-of-the-line Naish kite, made with more durable, quality materials than most kites out there.  Less than three months old. The kite, bar, lines, bag, pump are all in A-1 No damage or repairs.

2008 Naish Cult 9m  $825

This immensely popular 2008 kite with its Sigma shape and the 5-strut design of the Naish Cult results in a user-friendly all-terrain kite that works in all conditions for 90% of the world's riders. Stability, easy handling, great re-launchability, low bar pressure, and a high range of depower, featuring the Naish Smartloop Ba. improves on the performance standard set last year by the test winning Boxer SLE. This Kite is gently used, probably has around 15-20 days, no damage, no leaks, no repairs. Bag bar, lines & pump all in excellent condition. For half the price of the '09 version, this is a no-brainer bargain.

BUYING AND SELLING OUTSIDE OTTAWA

Canada


For small goods, the cheapest method is usually via Canada Post, although it doesn't hurt to check others as well.
For large items, such as big sails, it becomes more of a challenge. Canada post has length restrictions so depending on the size of sail, you may have to look elsewhere, such as Purolator, Canpar, UPS, etc.

For Boards, the cheapest I have found has been Purolator, so if you are looking at buying or selling a board, I would first check with them. Update: A local windsurfer had a Carve 99 shipped from Vancouver to Ottawa for $135 cdn...

Payment: There are lots of options; bank transfer, postal money order (cheap!), bank money order (more costly), certified cheque, online payment (www.paypal.com and others).

United States

If you are buying from the US, you will have to pay duty, taxes and brokerage charges. The post office only charges $5 for brokerage fees and usually only goes through the hassle of paperwork for items that have a decleared value of $20 or more.
For small goods, the cheapest method is usually via the post office, although it doesn't hurt to check others as well.

For larger goods, either UPS, Fedex Ground, or Airborne express are good options, although you will get charged higher brokerage fees on the item. If you are planning on using one of these, for a $3 contribution towards the cost of operating the Ottawa Windsurfing website, you can have the item sent via my Customs brokerage account which should save you 30% on brokerage fees.

If you are looking to send a larger item to the US, I would be willing to take care of sending it for you via my UPS exporter account, which will save you 30% off the published UPS rates in return for a $5 contribution towards the cost of operating the Ottawa Windsurfing website.

For boards, the cheapest I have found has been Purolator (to send), or Airborne Express (to receive), so if you are looking at buying or selling a board, I would first check with them. The best bargain used to be shipping via the Airlines, but since 9/11 American Airlines does not offer cargo service to Ottawa (in the past I had a 180L board shipped to me for $75 US).

Payment: There are lots of options; bank transfer, postal money order (cheap!), bank money order (more costly), certified cheque (could be difficult with $US), online payment (www.paypal.com and others).

Auctions

If you are looking to sell an item quickly, you may want to consider auctioning it off online. Your success will depend on the age of your gear, the price you want to get for it and the time of year (don't try and sell in the middle of winter!). If you don't want to have to figure out how to auction it off online and deal with payment, I would be willing to look after everything including posting, accepting payment and shipping for you for a $15 contribution  towards the cost of operating the Ottawa Windsurfing website. send all your renovation requests to entreprisesdl@xplornet.com
