Throwback Thursday – Riding the Wind with Fraser Black 1980s

An early 1980’s Documentary about Windsurfer Fraser Black living the dream in Hawaii. Fraser Black originally from the UK was one of the first UK pro windsurfers.

This video was quite ground breaking as gave a glimpse of a windsurf pro’s life with professional footage showing board mounts and well produced shots.

Most of it is filmed in Oahu and Diamond Head.

Icarai’s faces

This next clip comes out of a spot I spent lots of time, Icaraizinho Brazil. Laurent Cornic, owner of Windsurf Brazilian Crew demonstrates the two faces of Icarai, where you get flat water freestyle half of the day, and than a nice reef break for wave sailing the other half.

This is a spot you want to check out!  The wind blows everyday from 18 -25 knots, and we mean everyday, the season runs from  mid July until the end of Decemeber.
