Could watch this guy all day long. Back in the late 80's/90's waiting for the latest windsurf mags to catch him in action was the mainstay of would be windsurfers. LEGEND...
The term #Waterman is indeed true here. I had the privilege of meeting Robby several times in the Netherlands in the late eighties. What a Guy! He is the man who inspirered me to go for #Waveski. Forever thankfull!
Great surfer, maybee, Robbie is the most famous surfer ever. I also read the surf magazines, when i began windsurfing in the 90´s. But I ask myself, if he has received eternal life in Jesus Christ, who is the creator of all water and waves an who is the way, the truth and the life.
@@tobiasl-f-v_de No matter what the answer is to your question, I think Robbie's one of the people out there for which a title really just isn't all that.... He's won all of them, and a bit. The guy must be close to his sixties and still rips...you gotta respect that!🌊🏄♂️🤙
Greetings from SoCal. 🤘. Watching Robby talk about “the biz” on this video, my blood pressure goes down to chilled calm 👍 .. Thinking of all locals on Maui these past several weeks. 🤘🥰.
Great and impressive, but would be interesting to see how you get out again in these conditions .,..would be helpful to learn from you (like the helpful comments on your gear!). Thanks and Regards from Germany. Gerrit
Thanks for explaining the gear. Amazing tech, especially the carbon foil. If you are ever back at Sherman Island, look me up. I live nearby. Still riding my Naish 110 Titan!
Great riding and informative vid 👍🏻. Makes me laugh though … only 9 months ago Robbie was saying the Matador LT soft handles are the best in surf blah blah blah and better than hard handles … 9 months later Robbie riding swell with hard handles.
Nice i wish i could have met legend who sparked me to work summer like a dog to buy my first rig in 80s. As a 14yr old i had a poster of Robby carving waves and i dreamed of hitting Hawaii and maybe by accident see legend at work.
Thanks Robby! I had posters of you as a kid in the 80s. Sadly I lost the focus on windsurfing (study/no money) I failed at trying kitesurfing but this video sparked my interest in wing foiling!
I love your approach to gear. Keep it simple, go with less vs more. Wind sports can get too complicated and gear-specific very quickly to the point where you end up spending more time on the beach making decisions and rigging than actually playing on the water.
Really impressive no matter what age. Makes it look easy. Those are not just water rounded rocks either. That is new lava rock and it could tear you and your gear to shreds. I have done many watersports including windsurfing for many years and am looking into what it would cost to wingfoil. I just checked and that gear he is using new would run over five thousand dollars new. No wonder he is out there by himself if he is risking losing that gear to the surf and rocks. Honey it's cheap compared to a motorcycle or a jetski!!!
I have followed your career since mid80s, as a result bought first windsurfer in 1985, since then i shifted to kiting and sailed with naish Park 9m2 that i eventually crashed. Always dreamed to windsurf Maui and say hello to waterman i have followed from remote foreign country and tried to copy some techniques. I also copied wearing Quicksilver. Thanks for being pioneer and ageless legend.and yes looking to move into wingfoil. I dont qualify to be waterman but i share insane addiction to be in water when i see ripples and some whitecaps.
@03:38 i wonder if a clever engineer could make some kind of a mechanical clutch that disengages the foil on the fin when its out of the water and then re-engages it to the neutral position quickly as it re-enters the water on landing..... edit: i guess it would be easier to have a static element like those on the the front wing of an F1 car that twist only above a certain speed.
“Kinda small waves” he says. Dude’s riding a foil, so it’s about eight foot from the surface of the water to his head, and the wave is a foot or so higher.
How loose do you have your back strap? Normally WingFoilers ride with their Backfoot across the mid-line of the board. What tips can you give when falling when in a back strap (tremendous amount of leverage force with a Foil underneath). I WingFoil on the Naish 85 L (72 kg) and don't find it too big on the waves :)
Hi, I notice you use the Naish 85L at 72kg. Same set-up as me. although I am a fraction heavier at 73kg. I recently bought the New Hover 72L (same board as in the video), It's amazing!! even though smaller it gets going earlier than my 85L. and when it touches down, it just skips across the water. probably due to the narrower water line and flat rear release area. Hope you can try one sometime.
Hallo liebe Fans und Freunde von Robert Hampton naish Ich hatte ca 1988 in Holland iselmeer die Ehre mit Robby naish eine surf Session zur Schau zeigen zu dürfen.....der Wind war wirklich stark 💪 11 bis 12 Beaufort mit Orkan böhen. Ich war mit meinem 3,8er m2 Segel schon mehr als überpowert. Das über Tier robby naish. Fuhr ein deutlich größeres Segel als ich.... Ich mit Mistral diamond head. Robby naish mit custom made Board unterwegs...bei einem Sturz löste sich der v 2 a Stahl Haken von meinem Trapez .... Ich war sehr weit vom Ufer entfernt ca 5 km....Natürlich konnte robby naish mir nicht helfen, der hatte ja auch alle Hände voll zu tun...also ging es per wasserstart aufs Board und ohne Trapez in Richtung Strand....dort angekommen dachte ich mir, das war echt knapp und hätte auch anders ausgehen können. Denn ich bekam an Land in beiden armen und beide Beinen heftige muskelkrämpfe.. Schon der Versuch mein surfboard zu tragen scheiterte hoffnungslos. Der starke Wind riss es mir aus meinen Händen und wirbelte es in hohen Bogen über den Strand hinaus in die Luft....an einer Wand wurde das surf Board abgebremst aber es war unversehrt geblieben.... Mistral diamond head ist eben echt super Qualität dachte ich mir und ging erstmal unter die heiße Dusche 🚿 😂😅🎉 Peace for the World for you and your family and friends Euer Marcus goertz aus grosskrotzenburg Nebenstraße Ich plane gerade ein neues Buch zu schreiben ✍️ Hang loose.

Thanks for explaining the gear. Amazing tech, especially the carbon foil. If you are ever back at Sherman Island, look me up. I live nearby. Still riding my Naish 110 Titan!
Great video .... impressed on how chill you guys seem about the rocks
Robby Naish - Waterworld’s Magic Man!!!
This man is a Legend!
Great Ride. Happy to see how you manage out even now wingfoiling in this big waves. Great balls on fire🌊🌊🌊🌊💪👍
Goat
Always my Hero ! Robby Naish
Newl Video new fun i am allways inspired same age and motivated. Greatings from Germany.
Still have an autographed shot of you ripping Jaws on your sailboard. Looking forward to getting the wingfoil stoke! Mahalo!
Hard to believe he's 60 years old!
So so good! I can nothing but agree: Robby remains THE legend hero of these awesome watersports, from the early 80s... thanks to you, Robby, for all!
Amazing slow mos your the man dude
Fantastic video, one reason all my wingsurf kit is from Naish especially my orange ADX wing 🤙
Great riding and informative vid 👍🏻. Makes me laugh though … only 9 months ago Robbie was saying the Matador LT soft handles are the best in surf blah blah blah and better than hard handles … 9 months later Robbie riding swell with hard handles.
This is beyond cool. Wow. I windsurfed with you in Berkely when you were around 13. With Barney, Skip and Roger. Great stuff, thanks.
Nice i wish i could have met legend who sparked me to work summer like a dog to buy my first rig in 80s. As a 14yr old i had a poster of Robby carving waves and i dreamed of hitting Hawaii and maybe by accident see legend at work.

I bought My first shitty rig in 80s and found book in library to get the sail right shape. Never succeed but i was hooked since then.
it would have been the 90's
Legend Legend Legend PURE ART! Thank you Robby!
I love your approach to gear. Keep it simple, go with less vs more. Wind sports can get too complicated and gear-specific very quickly to the point where you end up spending more time on the beach making decisions and rigging than actually playing on the water.
Loved this video with the music. Best wishes Mr!!
Thanks Sir Robby 🤙🤙🤙🤙
A master in action
Tks Tks Tks!!!!!!!!
Always remembered him when He was 12....fiesta world champ.....in France also in 80s....as slater they are my fav champ
Yes please!
Perfection and full control.
Greetings from Poland 👍
Mahalo! Robby
Thanks Robby that was great I learnt so much enjoyed it heaps. You still rock bloke. ☮️.
As I would end up on the rocks at every session this foiling will be way too expensive activity for me...
Legend!
Really impressive no matter what age. Makes it look easy. Those are not just water rounded rocks either. That is new lava rock and it could tear you and your gear to shreds.

I just checked and that gear he is using new would run over five thousand dollars new. No wonder he is out there by himself if he is risking losing that gear to the surf and rocks. Honey it's cheap compared to a motorcycle or a jetski!!!
I would have ended upon the rocks
❤❤nice.good video. I have same 72 liter..I love. Naish.

Did he say small waves?😮
yep, and rocks
Love you man, thanks for the video :)
That's amazing
Robby, I am your age. Been following for 30 years. Hopefully 30 more.
Me too almost the same story. Robby and Laird are watermen that i have tried to copy since 80s. Insane.
Bought your 5.0 Matador for my DW 8’er. Hope it’s enough in San Diego.
thanks man super cool

Nice ride and interesting choice👍
I wonder how much you weight ? Is 72lt = to your body Weight or more ?
Great vid!.
I like some float in my boards too...can i ask how much you weigh?
Ride on!
🎉

Robby, are these harness lines at the handles? (Btw. We met 1990 on the water and for a foto on Lake Garda, Italy)
😳😳😳😳😳😳
what do you mean "if you go on the rocks, you are done" ?
and doji IASAKA！He,DEDD😢
Ｉ am sometime worldcup staff😊1984～1989!Ｉam very yor fan 🎉Now living waikiki! I sink so , your good caleng🎉

Waves look kinda good for surfing, bit of a shame😊
