Ahh, the pioneering days of windsurfing. I started in 83 as a 13 year old. Still going. It was a magical time. Every year brought new innovations. Great time to be on the water.
The excitement isn't there anymore like it was back in the 80's. We actually had magazines with real paper in them that we all bought and drooled over over and over again...looking at all the cool boards and sails coming out. Now its just not as cool and exciting. I met Robby Naish in 1986 in San Francisco at the World Cup event, he was way cool and I talked to him while he was rigging his sails. The new guys are amazing but the energy I feel is different now. Robby is still King of the waves!!!
You can pick gear up from this era and later for almost no money on eBay. We had real fun on that stuff back then so why wouldn't it be fun today.... Only if you've been spoilt by hi tech gear but if you just want to learn and have fun go and pick up a bargain to start with Instead of spending £1500

5 kitesurfers came by here and concluded that even back then windsurfing was cooler :-)

Pro trick : you can watch series on kaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Caden Desmond Yea, I have been watching on kaldrostream for months myself :D
4;30 looks like a short board??
Sans harnais c'est vraiment dur juste à la force des bras
2:48 has to be the best trick!!
The board and sail where crap, the Fun, the best!
