One of the reasons why windsurfing was popular in the 80s. We need more fun videos like this rather than ones of guys sailing massive waves to generic heavy metal sound tracks.
Yep, looks windsurfing was great in the 80's, seems to have been a slow and steady decline since then, kind of sad really.
I be happy with just topless, kiting windsurfing or anything, Here in north QLD girls wear boardies over their bikinis
I found windsurfing was a much more mixed sport in the early 80's. Most guys' GF would join in, etc. Ironic since equipment was way more difficult to handle then, huh?
The ratio declined starting a bit before the mid-80s. Probably because of fancier gear requiring more strength, the macho stuff, etc.
I find it's starting again, slowly, at least for inland (lakes, river) windsurfing. Not in waves. Until there are more women windsurfing, we're still stuck trying to steal the non-windsurfing girlfriends by the waterside...
