Wow don't see that many on the water these days
thanks for posting

Nice old video. Thanks.

Good to see so many out back then, the 80's were the hay-day of windsurfing and what a great variety of makes as well, Tyronsea, F2, Bombora, etc.

Not a seat harness in sight!!

Ah, memories.....

My first impressions were "why are they going so slow". The gear today is so much quicker and better all-round. Did you also notice how tight and slow the gybes were? Not a planing gybe to be seen. Whilst the 80s were sailboarding's heyday, the sport is more enjoyable and diverse today.

Hey the water was so much flatter in the old days

It's because they are all using wave sails

Great to see the old footage.
A lot has changed since those early days.
Thanks for posting

Especially the rad 80's fluoro & pastel colours that matched our scoops

Brilliant that would of been cutting edge in those days
