Check this guy out: He's at the end of a 50-foot railride through the sand on his way to some wavesailing.
I love that. That is style. And I'm pretty sure he's having a whole lot of fun (even though his boom is too long.) You can see this (and a lot more early 80's windsurfing) in a clip from the video "Windsurf the Earth" on StableRoad.com.

Ha ha what fun! Those rail rides - if you could do one of those you were IT! And as for the booms - I used to have an enormous gap between the clue of my ''storm'' sail and the boom end on ''windy'' days (windy at that time was when you could see the odd white cap forming).

That is the greatest link ever! I just spent an hour and a half watching those old Robert Masters Videos. What memories. For me the late 70's early 80's were a special time. Anything was possible, everything was new. And windsurfing was the coolest.
Thanks

Frank, get into freestyle and you'll be living the 70s and 80s all over again. Anything IS possible and everything IS new and windsurfing IS the coolest.
