This video has none of my sails in it but Jeff Brown on the JBD sail and I used to work at Hood Sailmakers together in the early 80s. He, I and Paul Mindnich the guy who developed the Freeskate ice board (seen in this video) all were way into ice windsurfing. To this day it is something I really miss. The speed and G forces you can attain are at the same thrill level as big wave windsurfing, but even more difficult to find. Here, the really amazing thing about this video is the quality of the ice they are on. You can not pay for this, you just have to be there and be ready. These guys lucked out.
I have offered internships to students around the world, and some have been great and some....well like I said, some have been great. Vincent Girard from France was our intern a few years back, helping with 3d design work and all around learning about business in Hawaii and how a windsurfing company works. He then went home to complete his studies, graduated and went to work for Eurocopter. Well he still hits the water hard as seen in this double spread in PLANCHE magazine in France. He is riding a 2009 Smack and Quattro twin fin and making the Mediterranean look pretty darn good! Go Vincent!
