Here's a link to some very grainy footage I found of Josh Adams efforts sailing at Esperance (I believe it may be from Summers a Breeze).
Yes, definitely Josh Adams at Esperance off Summers a breeze.
Josh was certainly a legend back then.
His boards were normally 7'6" always under 20" wide and mostly shaped out of a surfboard blank.
I remember the guys at Diamond Head telling me that Robbie Naish stopped at the top of the cliff at Diamond Head just before a major contest in the late 80's.
Josh was out there and was absolutely shredding the place like it had never been done before.
Robbie raced back hope and grabbed his video camera just to video Josh.
At that time Robbie was king of everywhere especially Diamond Head.
Yes, Josh certainly did turn heads.
