    Beautiful video. I had a similar, life changing time during my gap year (2019). I flew from Australia to England and bought a 28ft sailboat, "Sundowner". I set the sails, with the loose plan of getting back to Australia! I sailed for 10 months down the French Atlantic coast, across the Mediterranean, south down the African coast in the Red Sea and finally crossed the Indian Ocean from Oman to India, all solo. I flew home from India amid the coronavirus pandemic and started uni! Your video brought back some dreamlike memories of deserted African islands and uncharted reef breaks, incredible sunsets and surreal moments, so Thankyou!

    Outasight! These are such bad ass boats, one of the fastest "cruising" cats in the world, powerful enough and narrow beamed enough to be able to lay on her side if you guys aren't careful, but I suspect that you are aware of this. This was nicely produced, and I'm stoked that there will be more to come. In my life, sailing and surfing have always been entwined, and the combo has shaped who I am today. I progressed in the sailing world in a similar fashion as you, John John, but as I'm a generation older my start was with a Sunfish instead of the laser (wasn't out yet!), I sailed my first Hobie at Mantachen Bay in '67 or '68 when Hobie and Munoz brought a final prototype Hobie 14 down there and offered folks there to give it a go ('m guessing they could write off the trip this way) and boy was I hooked. Decades of racing beach cats followed first with Hobies, then Prindles, Nacras, Square 14's, Tornados, and my fave, the various Supercats after getting tired of the egos in the racing world. I have yet to be able to try a foiled cat, but will some day soon. Anyway, I'm rambling. Saludos to you all; wishing you fair winds and smooth seas. Bien Viaje amigos!

    Fantastic! Bringing back great memories and the joy of pure sailing! Over 20 years ago, as a student, I spent a year in Hawai'i and did quite a bit of sailing there. Thank you John Florence for reminding me of the simple joys of sailing, particularly with small, fast boats (like in the first half of this). Seems I am too bogged down in the super yacht "industry"here in the Med nowadays to experience this kind of just for fun sailing. And by the way: GREAT filmmaking. I am officially jealous!

    Cool you sailed Laser 2's, they were the raddest boat of the 80s and 90s. Super squirrelly boats, like a twin fin in huge waves. Super loose then all the sudden the foils bite. They attracted the rogues and weirdos. We raced these fux. Beautiful boats but sometimes the gybe mark looked like a multicar pileup. Wire to wire tacks, roll gybe with a spinnaker, measure the rig tension etc. It was a UNIVERSE!!! Some of the best times of my life were going flat out in SF Bay planing up & downwind. The spinnaker and rudder were a bit oversized. So gnar but not as good as surfing.
