Sourcing Old Mistral Parts

Need to Source Retro Mistral Windsurfing Spare Parts?

Testimony to the quality and longevity of Mistral products produced as far back as the mid-1980s, we here at Mistral receive regular emails regarding spare parts for such equipment and sometimes older. Usually, it is about items such as the mast foot or mast tracks, where items have been lost or, in the case of mechanical parts, have been seized with a lack of use.

Many 'Once Were Windsurfers' are finding time on their hands and are buying from eBay or simply digging into their stash of old kit and wanting to get back on board. We're naturally very encouraged to hear of this and to receive your enquiries. However, spare parts have not been made for boards such as the Mistral Competition, the Equipe, and others for many years.

Some Known Sources

We know a few sources to carry 'New Old Mistral Stock' and spares. One is based in the UK 24-7 Boardsports, where we know boxes of spares (you won't see them on the website; you will need to contact them directly), and there are others, such as Good Ol’ Boards in the Netherlands. It can sometimes pay to purchase another old board with the necessary spares, combining 2 to make 1. We're keen to have you back on the water, and we know it can take a bit of DIY and creativity to get your beloved board back to wind and water where it belongs!

A quote from a recent customer seeking parts.

"Hello, I am a great and honoured fan of Mistral. I bought my first board at the young age of 20. It was the Competition Superlight. I have so many fond memories of this board, not only because it was the board I learned on but also because it provided many years of unforgettable fun and adventures. I still have the board at 56 and had other Mistral boards. But this is the board that I knew would take me windsurfing into the age of 80 and hopefully beyond."
