Windsurfing has seen many shapes, sizes, and trends since its explosion in popularity in the 1970s and 80s. But today, enthusiasts around the globe are turning back the clock—without sacrificing modern performance—with Exocet’s Windsurfer LT.
Nostalgia Meets Modern Technology
The Windsurfer LT by Exocet perfectly combines the iconic spirit of the original Windsurfer One Design with advanced materials and construction techniques. While maintaining the beloved classic shape, the LT board features modern epoxy sandwich construction. This makes it lighter, stronger, and more durable, offering an enhanced sailing experience while preserving the simplicity that originally drew so many to the sport.
With its robust yet lightweight construction, the Windsurfer LT excels in various conditions—from calm lake cruising to challenging open-water sessions. The durable epoxy sandwich construction ensures your board withstands the test of time, maintaining its performance season after season. This balance of classic design and modern technology makes it an ideal choice for any windsurfer, whether new or seasoned.
