I'm South African and my wife's from Zim. We're both windsurfers and both now resident in Germany, where we're speaking German and so the language of the interview was not a problem for us. Despite that, for both of us, the stand-out, headline, overwhelming impression of this trailer was: "Wow! He's even in the RIGHT car for that bit of the world."

Although the authenticity was, perhaps, a little bit spoiled by how pristine that particular instance of that Merc. was.

Thanks for sharing... brilliantly shot. I've shared the water with Biorn at Kanaha back in the 90's (actually, I blew a gybe in front of him and he sailed over to ensure I was OK). Arguably the best windsurfer of all time... maybe not as proficient at Robbie in the waves, but course racing and down-wind slalom unbeaten in 12 years... and now to see him on the ditch was pure joy. Can't wait to see the docco next year.

Ta for posting!

IMHO, having raced against them both Robby was more versatile; world champ on Windsurfers; 2nd in the world on the round-bottomed Olympic D2s; World Cup champ on Raceboards; and with more influence on design and moves. I think US-1111 is still #1 of all time.
