What's your favourite YouTube windsurfing video? And why? Oh, and post the link to the clip.
Not U-tube but vimeo posted on here by sean hogan.
Tropical, sick waves, uncrowded, close to OZ
I like the first person view and chill atmosphere in the race. When are we going to get similar footage from PWA?
Again, not youtube but a good vid by Robby Swift:
Windsurf Australia have probably done 'the' best windsurfing video's I've ever seen www.windsurfaustralia.com/videos/

Interestingly enuff - u did knot post yurs- Y ?
what i would like to know and i see little of it in the answers - is "what constitutes a GOOD windsurf clip for YOU ?"
one of the posts had a video of max 480 resolution - NOT in today's world ....
for me - variety, sound/music that syncs to the action, something new and different and MUST be HD 720
i find people are getting fussier now - want more than just a GoPro attached to the equipment or board
guess we are spoiled already
how about the best clip of yourself or that you made ??
Just love the intro from Francisco, something inspiring about that sort of passion
Its been over 24hrs since this thread was started and no Robby vids yet!!! Whats going on!!

Deejay has put up a Robby video from 30 years ago. Here's what he'd be doing if he was in his twenties today.
Best idea for a topic!!!
I like Jas Polakow at Jaws. Funny thing, having watched this a few times, on the last trip to Maui, I drove down Polakows street without knowing it, and recognised his house instantly.

Nup - I'd much rather watch a poor quality vid of good quality windsurfing, than a HD vid with average windsurfing (although there are some great recent HD WS clips out there).
Some of the fuzzy quality 70's retro vids are still the best to watch IMO.
Mostly I like videos with a sense of verisimilitude, what those latte sippers may refer to as Cinema verite.

Not windsurfing but best interview
you get pitted so pitted like that
Just found this one, good history lesson
miwindsurfing.com/video/wind-water-the-invention-of-windsurfing-2007?xg_source=activity
Not sure if this is the best Caesar Finies video but ... he's freaking awesome and I really hope he inspires more "quality" sailors to play in light air because they will inspire newbies. I look at the sailing going on around him, the kids with their dads etc, and I think we need more of that in Aus.

Some of the music they play in the vid is terrible, but still a really good vid to watch

By the way, flow-style (or light wind freestyle) is really effective in improving your stronger wind sailing too because you learn so much about rig control. It's also something that windsurfers of all abilities can get involved in to varying levels. Kids in particular love to imitate these tricks and they can use them to impress their friends.
