Kite/Windsurf Videos for Doldrums

Post by ~~~~~4j~~ »

Please add links to your favourite videos to help maintain the sanity of the wind community during periods of no wind.

I think this one was posted a few months back.

Bru's over Gnus. South Africa windsurf vacation. Interesting videography, no dialogue (just music), beautiful places, talented sailors.

Mauiwindsurfing.net has this Hookipa video

I found this 20 minute tour of the quatro/goya factory interesting. The board construction discussion starts around the 9 min mark. http://video.mpora.com/ep/DiVhB5L6r/

That vid has a cool little bail section halfway through, more windsurfing videos should have that. It's one of those sports where you have to commit to the lip, and the margin of error is small, I always wonder what happens and what it looks like when you are on the wrong side of that margin. It doesn't look so fun.

Here it is GWIND, action starts at 1:45, amazing photography and looks like a mindblowing movie. What a beautiful sport.

I truly believe for the people riding strapless in waves only holds you back.

With Kus and DougWick sailing big old race boards, Exocet comes out with a pretty interesting 30 knot longboard for those light and moderate days:

just to be sure, my sailing the One Design is purely exploratory during the current doldrums, I don't find it all that exciting nor am I interested in racing.....or packing it around. The paddling and teaching aspect is more up my alley with that board :idea: and if anyone who IS keen on the racing aspect would like to borrow, use, teach with it, you are more than welcome :idea:
