Nice work Paul. Was that Bruce Peterson and Richard? Looked like one of them a accidently tried a forward near the end there. Awesome to see video footage from this era. I would like to see the Island Farms commercial that Richard did again. I remember seeing that as a kid and getting super inspired.

Great footage. The amount of skill needed to sail that old gear is huge, and they made it look easy. I think they sailed better then than most of us do now! Look at the jibes: hard carves and fast. None of the 300m turning radius style turns so common now. C'mon Richard, Ross, and Grant! Bust out the windboard gear and school us!
