For me Wild Duck seasons were 1997 - 2001.

OK 1997 then. But I'm sure it was earlier on...

I was just saying that MY Wild Duck season was 1997 - 2001... Wild Duck boards were manufactured even earlier for sure:-) And once you're Swiss I understand you had a Swiss board!

ANd it was a second hand one so definitavely not an american board...

But it is true, it was 1983 in Arosa Switserland.
Probably one of the first boarders here in Europe.
I still have the board and the shoes

Well, Crazy Banana was founded in 1983...

For me, the start was in 1993:
- Checker Pig 155
- F2 bindings
- Nordica ski boots [1 bucklet]

I remember that I was asked once if I want to sell my binding separately
