My wife and I were coming back from rotto yesterday arvo at 4 pm. There were 2 windsurfers flying along right next to the ferry with a helicopter flying low over head. Anyone know these guys? And was the helicopter filming them?
Col films and takes photos. Pete rides for Fanatic https://www.fanatic.com/content/team/windsurfing_int/peter_volwater/index_eng.html#.UStuj78ayc0 and usually pretty good in the surf. Not too sure about Chris as I'm not into flat water racing stuff but I'm pretty sure Chris is one of the fastest windsurfers in Australia? Maybe cracked 50 knots?
Someone else may be able to fill you in
Check out Col's videos here www.windsurfaustralia.com/videos/
Also have a look at his photos, impressive
Perhaps but with young kids, I'm after family friendly. With my 14 foot board, I can paddle for fitness, cruise with my kids on the front, down wind. That ticks the most boxes for me at this stage of life.
Love watching the windsurfing though!
