I may of been missing something. To me it look like a crowd turned out to watch some yaucht sailing, which looked pretty cool. Then guy crib cut a video of that, and various gopro mount shots of him sailing, on the beach,and shots of his feet, and then a few shots of him hooning through the race course whilst the boats doing their own thing or waiting for a race to start ??????
Bit more here for those interested...

Could be mistaken but that is the first video I've ever seen of Guy Cribb and the first thing that came to mind was "what a prat".
Seems to be a great way to give windsurfing a higher profile at a big event with lots of spectators.
I wonder how windsurfers would do vs an AC45. I reckon especially in lightwinds the AC45 would torch anything, not sure about the windier days thou.
I apologise for my immature and unwarranted comment above and agree with Al planet that it was a great platform to expose a crowd to windsurfing.
[I would delete it but it is not allowing me to do so?????]
Hey sausage, in the **** again mate lol, you should watch some of GCs vids not prat like at all ha ha. Intuition is great. P.s. Is there anything Red Bull aren't involved with?
All I can say is the Extreme Sailing Series with the X40's is a brilliant concept that takes the "Boring " concept out of sailing and the match racing with Cribby on a windsurfer is a great showcase for our sport. Should be more of it. I like Cribby's concept of changing the course so there is more opportunity for both craft to cross each others path with the chance of carnage. Brave man Mr. Cribb
Great stuff! My reaction, though, was to ask: what are all those people doing sitting on the beach, just watching? It's windy, they should be out on the water!
If anything positive was to come out of all this would be if Cribby managed to get the phone number of the chick hosting it.
looking very rock star there guy. when you come out to oz in january are you going to be running any slalom/gybe clinics would be very interested in brushing up on my gybe skills - or lack of i should say.
