Wow, that was one of the most defining moments in windsurfing, first time a back loop was captured on film! I remember we studied those photos for ages but it was almost 2 years later that we could do backies.
And that the S stands for Staunton is always a bit surprising. Jill Boyer is actually wearing a Gaastra sail as a dress, it was a great ad back in the day.

?????? I raced against that trio a fair bit (Rip Curl, Surflite etc) at the time and I thought Pete was an item with Jill, Suzan Gedayloo or one of the other Hawaiian women pros.

Pete was with Susan Gedayloo (sp?),sadly she died a few years after that from a nasty disease/illness.
Richard Whyte was Susan Gedayloo's partner, she passed away from leukemia. Pete and Jill were an item, thats when everyone sailed at Diamond Head on Oahu. If you want to check out some awesome sailing and lifestyle from the era get a copy of "Tradewinds", sweet dvd.
