"Basically at the beginning, the entire world could windsurf, and by the "end" nobody could." ~Trip Foreman~ But, I'm a "goat boater" on my old longboard, and I'm here to say, there has been a longboard revival. The classic longboard is coming back with a vengeance! Let's go back to the days when you could have fun sailing anywhere, at any time. Back to the days when windsurfing was the fastest-growing watersport! Back to the days when tens of thousands of women windsurfed! It was heaven...
I don’t know how the filmmaker found all this footage of the time and people, but I hope all that 8 & 16mm film is preserved in the library of congress archives or something. My other favorite sports early days has no film in existence at all. :(
Brings back so many memories. I love this sport.
great movie!
Superb ! Tks !

Great Video! So proud to know that Jim Drake is the true inventor, and Hoyle the true capitalist...
