I think I am in this. Right at the end @ 4.22 for about 2 seconds.The purple sail in the first clip. Definitely me in the second clip @ 3.38. Recognize the board, still got the yellow mast protector 
. I do recognize the sailor with the NQ Sailbords logo on sail. He ran the sailboard shop. Is there more?
his name was bruce hodges he was pretty fast for the day. im riding the windaction and hood sail in a blue white and yellow with a state of the art z boom i still own the board
Thanks for posting. Brings back memories. I think that day we launched next to the swimming pool. Normally would sail up near the rock pool although my favorite spot was up at Pallaranda.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing
Takes me back to good fun and memories with friends.
Recognised hubby Rob by his jumping style (blue Simmer sail). I'm sure other regulars were there eg. Stoney, Norm Payne, Garry Lean, Glen Barrett, Rooster, Barb and Bruce Hodges, Derrick and many others. I think I'm there doing some jumps not sure didn't recognise myself so many boards/sails and years ago
barb was the one who took the video .i copied the video years ago only just figured out how to get it on to you tube i dont think any one but myself still sails from that time in townsville there only seems to be 5 of us sailing here now
bruce hodgens with an N. reckon it was windier back then. I remember they planted all those bushes on the strand and spoiled the rigging area for a while.
thanks for the correction. it was windier back then i need a 6,5 to sail in the same conditions . cyclones sorted out the trees and plants . too hard to sail there now because of stinger nets and parking.port and buildings disturb the wind
nice work brings back memories of some fun sailing. no clue if I am in it or not , think I recognise some but can't find the names in all the old grey matter. It could have been a promotional series for Nth Qld sailboards After a bit of sleuthing, I think the launch spot was on top of the breakwater (rocks with grass on top and steep stairway down to beach which disappeared at high tide) just north of the big park (other side of the road) which was next to the Travelodge hotel. Everyone moved to there (away from stinger net ropes) when they put it in. It was shot from 1986 or onwards because the casino is in the background over near the port.
Here's a few photos about a decade latter, from the same spot, not many out that day. you can just make out the channel marker on the horizon ( which shows up in the videos)
jolee seemed to have the names correct. barb did this for a school project.i think it was late august 1987 as i am wearing a wet suit and only brought my windaction board
