I think we need to find an old door, and revive the sport!

Its already been done. Formula sailing is pretty popular nowdays. great boards for Sydney's prevailing winds.

Actually standard doors are about 81cm x 2.1m. So a formula boards are bigger than a door. A door is more like a large slalom with a formula tail.

Tradewinds. Real good classic. Has Fred Haywood smashing 30 knots at Weymouth. I think it was made around 1984.

Somewhere I have a copy of 2 other video's, on the one VHS cassette

See, I have been around a while.

the aloha classic 2 is in my cabinet.

the name says it all. it must be a classic

I've got a couple too, got Tradewinds, Blown Away which was a Bob McTavish production plus the follow up (which has Fred Haywood at a WA speed event which even has footage of a certain number '25' in it ;)) but I can't remember it's name, got 2 Pryde vids, Rigmarole and Fast Forward, got Van Diemens Land by Butterfly taped somewhere and a Polakow movie but can't remember its name either.

i got a few, Aloha Classic 2, and the early Pryde movies, and Windrider somewhere Would love to get hold of the Tradewinds Movie. someone needs to release all the old ones on DVD.

I have 3 or 4 hours of stuff taped off TV from the 80s and early 90s including the coke invitational at Long Reef that got full coverage on wide world of sports plus most of the videos mentioned. They're all back at my parents house though as I don't own a VHS player hopefully they haven't been taped over...

Fear not.

The old KA1111(1992) along with the about time one which he made in 2000 (which IMO is still the bench mark) was put on a single dvd not long ago.

I used to do as squid lips did and sit in front of wide world of sports to tape any sailing on it. I have the OP internationals from diamond head, the indoor stuff, polakow interviews, the coke events from longreef, wanda and maui plus all the old speed event coverage - remember laird forward looping his speed board over the back of the shorebreak?
I still have all the pryde, north and gaastra tapes from 89 to today. anyone remember rushwinds twin geeks with sargeant "loop" the double loop master from the gorge.
I must have over 40 vhs and 20 odd dvd's

Stewie,
I've still got the wide world of sports Midnight Oil, "Power &Passion" Vid. I also have one set to Van Halen's "Jump" from even earlier. Halcyon days! Can't believe how long the booms were that we used back then. The sails were like spinackers, "twist" was still just a dance. How they controlled those things in 30+ Kts..... and the harness hooks still pointed UP!

Yes it was rhowie and his characters name in Water Rats was.....

wait for it.....


"BOOM BOOM"
