Someone has posted this classic on youtube, If you have not seen is before....Do so before it's gone.
Great post - never tire of watching these sequences. Man he rips and geez if only I had an ounce of his sailing ability.
Still love watching him do those open ocean speed runs - there's a big get off at the beginning (2.50min) where he trips a rail after a nasty bit of chop. Also that's one heavy duty knee brace he's wearing in The Lanes sequence (i think).
I love Robby Naish so much, he is the coolest dude on the planet and I love R.I.P. best windsurfing movie ever.
The video was available last night from home. This morning I woke early to watch it but it was not available.
Now its available at work.....
Is R.I.P. available on DVD? I'd like to buy it as I think its the best windsurfing video ever.
I don't want to show you a too gooder day for fear of it getting over crowding
Use to love those 90s videos where they talked so much rubbish. - fly hard in to the face of the danger zone.
average forwards? the guy is on a longboard for some of them.
Robby is the master. Those pink sails...
Cripes that guy must be fit! The bit where he holds the sail by the base and surfs waves like a surfboard is amazing.
Guess what I've got in my hands?
RIP, the video.
And there's a shop 5 minutes from work that converts VHS to DVD!
Feel free to bid.
I'll never forget the day I was sailing at Kanaha on a trip to Maui in 2006. Nobby Raish was there testing some sort of prototype speed board. Solid wind and up to 1 metre wind chop.
Decide to watch the "master" from the main beach with fellow traveller, Chris from Wind, Surf n Snow. Nobby was sailing about 200m upwind from the main beach, hits a smallish wave and gets a 5-6m jump. I quickly told Chris to look at the jump and he's says, "what, the kiteboarder?"
Amazing. Just as amazing as RIP.
PS: Your turn now Barn
Thanks for posting.
Robby Naish was the inspiration
for a whole generation to take
up windsurfing.
I am eternally grateful for that.
