Elmo,
Thankyou - that has to be one of the most enjoyable short films I've seen. Shame it's only 22 minutes long. It evokes all those passions that we have for the great sport. Laurie should make it a sticky to remind us and for anyone who wonders why we love windsurfing so much.

Love the loop attempt where the mast spears into the sand and those shots of Robby Naish on that slalom gear through the ocean still amaze me.

[EDIT - bummer, the video now requires a password. ]

I was lucky enough to watch it before the password thingy. Great video. Sound was a bit low.

Very impressive what the early guys did. Their passion is still strong even though they have aged just like the rest of us.

Robbie Naish is still my all-round favourite sailor. How good is/was he?

awesome. for my money, Robby remains the greatest sailor of all time, he appears to be no ego and all passion. he has true reverence for a sport he was just doing to have fun and be with friends.

it better be windy tomorrow.

The sight of Robby Naish with a daggerboard hanging from his arm brings back memories of my starting days

Yep, that's what it's all about. Well posted Elmo.

Does anyone else remember seeing photos of Jenna de Rosnay - hottest thing ever!

Windsurfing is fun now, but I'm glad I lived part of those early years as a youngster.
Was pure fun then, no gimmick.
