It’s a rare sight to see footage that dates back to a time where windsurfing was just getting off the ground and had a following of a few dozen wind sailors rather than the thousands we have present day. The following video is from the early days of this fantastic sport and features both windsurfing footage and an interview with Hoyle Schweitzer and Allen Parducci. Please check out the YouTube video below.
It can take a durable person to enjoy all that windsurfing can provide when it comes to workouts and leisure rides. But it takes an even hardier person to travel hours just to enjoy our great wind surfing sport. One such person is Stefan Csaky who created HOOKED which is a windsurfing video that is currently featured on Vimeo. Stefan is a local windsurfer from Vienna, Austria that created this fantastic windsurfing video that features scenic skies and a mixture of beach scenes and industrial areas making for 11 minutes of pure windsurfing beaty.

We’ve all had those times when we’ve taken on a little too big of a wave than we can handle but the windsurfer in this video not only bites off a little more than he can chew, he also catches a wave that looks like it’s about to bite back. Watch him take on this epic wave caused by a falling chunk of Perito Negro Glacier located in the Los Glaciares National Park in the south west of Santa Cruz province, Argentina. The folks at New World Spirits captured absolutely gorgeous footage taken at the foot of the glacier that takes a turn for the extreme when the windsurfer is caught in the waves caused by a falling chunk of ice.
Some of the most extreme and treacherous waters known to windsurfers is located at the Columbia River Gorge. Check out this vid for some sick jumps that has these sailors jumping 20 or so feet in the air with sustained air time that can last quite a few seconds. While not for the most timid of windsurfers the waters at the Columbia River Gorge is a place that every surfer should experience at one time or another.
There’s nothing like hitting a wave at the right angle and catching sick air. It takes a huge amount of skill and guts to do the tricks in the video below. These watermen make their extreme tricks look like child’s play but don’t mistake how easy it looks to the amount of skill that it takes to do half of the tricks contained in the video. Check out the video for a great video of our sport taken at some of the world’s most beautiful scenery.
