Trademe.co.nz is the equivalent to Ebay and offers a reasonable selection of goods. For NZ$1000 I was able to purchase a Fanatic Shark (9' 6", 125L), 3 sails (6.4, 6.0, 5.4), two carbon-composite masts, boom with harness lines, mast extension, universal joint, uphaul, and mast pad. (and a screwdriver thrown in to remove the fin). I like living in the past, so if I let my mind drift back to early March, 2009, this is only US$500. Right now the exchange is a bit off. The whole U.S. is a bit off. So no better time to windsurf (in between online teaching, grading, grant writing, paper reviewing, and cutting edge research at U. Auckland)
For the archives (from the seller on Trademe) I include below the detailed "kit" description. I may need this for resale. Needless to say, all the equipment is much better than any of my gear sitting in the attic back in Mendon, UT.
All quality gear in great condition. 3 Sails and 2 masts so can be sailed in a wide range of wind conditions. All the kit I have only used in fresh water. Board only used < 5 times.
