it was such a pleasure to bring that old video back to life everyone, when i pulled it out of a cardboard box and shoved it into the video machine i knew it should be shared!
a fun period in my life for sure but the three guys who put it together deserve an award. all slides and cassettes and a microphone. wow!

Hey Ian.

Even though I windsurfed in NSW in the 80's this had all the elements of what a good time we had sailing back in them days.

Two (or more) on a board, crazy maneuvers, mast tracks up near the front, coloured masts, boardies and chest/waist harnesses, chicks sailing with us and great times all round.

We used to have an annual pre-Christmas race at Rodd Point in Sydney where you had to wear fancy dress and fun was the aim. Nuns, Santas, you name it, all sorts were present.

What a laugh. Ah....the good old days.

295 got recently donated to a friends outdoor area, but Wind Action Speed Slalom and Wind FX "no nose" board still proudly displayed on the walls of the shed.
