These are just real photos of a small house for sale in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the main city of Kamchatka. I was curious to see it, and I thought maybe someone else would be interested. The house was built in 1959 and measures 68 square meters (732 square feet) with two bedrooms. It has central water and sewerage. It's built right on a hill, so residents will have to park their cars in the garage downstairs and climb a long flight of stairs into the house. However, the terrace overlooks the bay from the side house and offers panoramic views of the city center. The house is being sold fully furnished and equipped, ready to move in. The price is 6.1 million rubles, or just under $80,000. It's not much, but many are currently worried about falling real estate prices in Russia. On the other hand, Kamchatka is in the Far East and is practically untouched by the military actions currently taking place in the European part of Russia. Which, in the current situation, can be considered a significant advantage.

As I understand it, this is the new version that Inventist, Inc. started shipping last year. Has anyone tried it? Is the new AquaSkipper actually better than the 20-year-old version?

Over the last few years, I have seen offers for sale of windsurfing, windfoiling, and wingfoiling boards from private craftsmen in our country. Sometimes they sell brand-new boards of their own design, and sometimes they sell knockoffs of popular brands. I highlighted this particular offer because it's not a knockoff, but a fully restored Starboard board. Quote from the seller:

- Starboard Formula 158 windsurfing board, fully restored to factory condition and repainted to match the latest board series. Dakine case included.

As far as I understand, the original board was made in 2004. He's asking around $1,000 for all of this. In my opinion, that's a bit steep, but the price is negotiable. Given current prices for brand new equipment, this custom equipment deserves attention.
