I come across some cool old windsurfing clips from time to time and thought I'd be cool to consolidate them. All vids have to be pre-2000. Yes thats quite modern for some of you, but should allow quite a variety. If you find any nuggets on youtube/vimeo post them up. Try to keep posts on-topic. Yew
This is the Aloha Classic II, has some of the greatest one liners from when windsurfing was at its peak... Watched this a hundred times when I was about 8, parantal indoctrination at its worst...
Anybody who has seen The Windsurfing Movie will have already seen the famous wipeout from the final heat, when "Richie Meyers GETS EATEN!!"
But it's worth watching the whole thing to see the sailing standard, and also the interviews at the end where the Pros talk about the future of windsurfing..
Stills from the epic wipeout..
Epic conditions for PWA in namotu in late nineties sometime. Would be sick if they could get their act together again and score more events like that...
There was a F2 video back in the late 80's featuring Bjorn Dunkerbeck. I just remember it being a great wave sailing video but have never been able to find it. Anyone remember it or know were a copy could be obtained.
Nw Pierre, tempting s it may seem, please don't go posting your recent vids as "vintage" windsurfing clips...we can tell the difference, you know ;)

*ahem* just found another beaut. The wave sailing starts at about 5:00, but the whole thing is worth watching.
