Windsurf Classic Part 1 - Maui Windsurfing Grand Prix 1982

Classic VHS of The Maui Windsurfing Grand Prix 1982 - This event filmed by Tom Tatum was the premier to probably defining every other Windsurf event to follow (well before O'neill invitations and Aloha Classics). The Video grabbed both aspects of windsurf competition with Course racing, Slalom and Wave disciplines and melded them into a highly watchable scheme. Interviews with Robby Naish, Mike Waltze, Ken Winner and Julie DeWerd created the windsurf celebrity. Look out for Arnaud De Rosnay the windsurf adventurer.
It really was a pioneering video with great music as well.
Loved Every minute of it!
Thanks to Tom Tatum for historic capture.

this video is awesome. Part 1 and Part 2 are a blast to watch.
I learned with sail designs like these - pinhead, battenless, cloth bags.
amazing to see these people who mostly are still around .
Thanks for the posting. Another favorite!
