the free spirit attitude of 80's windsurfing,
evolution of equipment
Pioneers pulling off tricks (like loops) as early as 1985 without all the hi-tech gear of today.

The ultimate classic windsurf movie in every respect. If you only watch one classic windsurf movie - this is it. (dont be put off by the black screen)

This video is very important to windsurfing history as it shows the first LOOP attemps (1985) as well as classic fully battened (MK 1) sails. Still the greatest sails every created IMHO
