The Peconic Puffin

I first saw the jump sequence in Robby Naish’s R.I.P. video back in the 90’s. I thought then (and still think now) “that’s all I want to be able to do. That’s all I ask for.” A humble wish. Yeah. Jump like Robby. This video opens with the sequence, and just for good measure at 20:55 Robby goes sky again. The video is “Wind and Water, the Invention of Windsurfing” by Bill Weir, or a demo reel of his documentary. Bill fell to cancer in 2009, meanwhile this video is making the rounds. I found it on the NC Paddle Surfer blog. You will not regret watching the whole thing. Much stokage and good feelings to be had. Thank you Bill Weir for making this.
