colas said..Robert Teriitehau... nostalgia attack for us Windsurfers...
Great guy, known for his humor and incredible antics, but I see that he is still not business-savvy... he mentions
www.robert.com/ in the video, apparently planning to use it as his new company site name... but he forgot to check that the domain was free, and it has been owned by a Danish halal poultry butcher for 20 years :-)
cest la vie as you froggies say.
I've been seeing roberts development and testing first hand and went surfing with him in phuket where my mind was literally blown.
One searing full roundhouse cutback to lip hit to air all on the foil without the board touching the water is still etched in my memory bank.
Robert is a testing development machine which was why he achieved so much success as a world cup racer back in the day when all his competitors were twice the height and weight of him. He tuned himself fast with micro adjustments. (and fitness)
And he's applied this knowledge to foiling with sensational results. I've got one of his race wings and it's ridiculously good. And can't wait to get one of his wave wings because from what I've seen, they're next level.
