İt says Jim drake was the inventor and as it seems he is strongly qualified.

Being “co-patent holder” and Windsurfing International “co-founder” with Jim Drake does not make Schweitzer “co-inventor”. Any claim Schweitzer or his family make about being part of the invention of windsurfing is, put bluntly, a lie. From what I know, contrary to the films “evidence,” Mr. Drake alone - using his well-known engineering background - designed and built the first universal joint, first wishbone boom, and first daggerboard his Santa Monica garage, alone wrote the specs to build the first board and sail, guided their construction, and then tried it alone for the first time. The original blueprints, displayed in your film and created by Mr. Drake alone, were taken from his professional ‘white paper’ presented to the Rand Corporation think tank prior to the Drake/Schweitzer co-founding of Windsurfing International, and Drake’s white paper later became the primary documentation for approval of the Drake/Schweitzer co-patent. Hoyle Schweitzer had no role in the design/building of the first free sail system, no role in the creation of Mr. Drake’s patent-sealing white paper, and in turn, no role in the “invention” of the modern windsurfer. In fact, I understand that when the first windsurfer was was shown to Schweitzer, it had already been built and tested by Drake months before. Hoyle Schweitzer, therefore, had no part in the invention of the sport. This is no surprise to close observers, however, considering Schweitzer’s lack of any documented professional mechanical engineering competence and Mr. Drake’s oft-cited testimony - portrayed in countless publications and court papers over many decades - that he alone is responsible for the invention of the windsurfer with no input from Schweitzer. The film Broken Molds, therefore, in the eyes of many, is a Schweitzer-driven attempt to push a false family myth crafted over fifty years ago - and still laughably pushed by his grown children - to position Hoyle Schweitzer as the inventor instead of Mr. Drake. This, of course, is nonsense, and no amount of Schweitzer-sponsored filmmaking ($300,000 to push false a narrative) can change that. Schweitzer as company co-founder and co-patent holder? Yes. As co-inventor? No chance.
