    It's really fantastic ... thanks for this wonderful video!
    I feel excited ... because I started sailing in 1979 and I lived the windsurfing history in Italy ...
    WINDSURFING is part (a large part) of my LIFE!
    Strong Wind & Big Waves! (my "motto")

    Really enjoyed the doc.. and I had no idea about this incredible guy "Arnaud De Rosnay". Can't wait for the ice to melt to get back on the water.

    Great video. I love the history lesson. I started windsuring in 82 on a one design in Long Beach. Remember the big Windsurfer Sign off the 405? My buddies and I taught each other to windsurf. One of us got a Rocket 99 and then we all got shortboards and looked for wind, from seal Beach, Castaic to Lake Perris then we found Hurricane gulch and had to learn how to waterstart. After that it was Hood River, Rio vista to Baja and Spreckelsville. What a great time. Then I moved to SD. But who knows if I live long enough to retire I might get out on the water again.

    A Great Thanks Joseph,
    Superb material & realization. The '80's crashes are scary, while Robby's opening ride, blasting from wave to wave, is the essence of windsurfing freedom.
    I would love to include it to my blog:
