RIP - Robby Naish US 1111 (Classic Windsurf Movie)

[@rogercoventry2556]

I loved living and windsurfing in HI. My daughter, her husband, and our three grandchildren live there now. I tested prototypes for Rick Naish and was able to party with the Naish family and their workers and staff at Carol & Rick's house. Good times.

[@windsurfer]

That's super cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@saschaz483]

these days not even a beginner would go out with such material and sail shapes - but look how they ripped in the 90s! the message: don't believe all the mumbo jumbo of the $ surf $ industry $. latest board "technology" foil here rocker curve there blabla ;-) instead: enjoy what ever gear you have and have fun. this yearly upgrade cycle is unnecessary. 😎🤙🏼

[@harpoon_bakery162]

what is the latest and greatest equipment? Link please? thanks in advance. By the way, I have a BIC 350 😁it's a floating sidewalk. With the teal & pink BIC Sail with the wrapped fiberglass yellow mast, lol. It's a beast. Like 40 pounds or so.

[@richskl6631]

I understand what you are saying but honestly windsurfing gear was pretty advanced by 95 or 96. It had already moved on a lot from the late 70’s and 80’s. What we used in the 90’s seemed pretty advanced at the time.

[@FathomsMusic]

The best windsurfing video ever.

[@BonuxCouleur]

I had this VHS a long time ago. Man, this windsurf videos were so expensive and so short, 20 to 30min max. I remember the Soundgarden, White Zombie soundtrack.

[@justinf1343]

Still got my copy of it. Can’t believe it’s > 25 years since it was released. Soundtrack was awesome too.

[@roseadventures5766]

My Dad used to watch this every Saturday morning on VHS tape when I was a kid. Whenever I hear waiting room by Fugazi, I’m transported back to those Saturday mornings.

[@windsurfer]

That’s so cool thanks for sharing that story Rose! 🥰

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

Haha how cool. This video also made me fall in love with Fugazi and Soundgarden. Waiting Room is so good.

[@GermanOchoa509]

I must have seen this video in VHS like 1000000000 times back in the '90s, my windsurfing journey started with this video (15yo me), Every afternoon me and my windsurf mates watched it and then hit the water all pump up, and now in my 40`s and still windsurfing. Robby Naish and absolute leyend.

[@windsurfer]

Super cool mate! 🤙

[@overkill2510]

thank you so much for uploading this, the memories it brings from when I used to live and breathe windsurfing with my Dad was the best part of my life.. much appreciated

[@windsurfer]

Hey no worries!

[@edouardbaudic8365]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm a twelve years old kid again!

[@jans8837]

That Video started the fire 33 years ago…..and it never died🤙🏼 unmatched style every song a classic😂

[@alabel]

Thanks for the memories!! I was searching that movie for a while… like 20 years ago my VHS hated my tape back then

[@drn13355]

I had been windsurfing about 5 years when this came out (started in 90). The summer this come out I was living in Hood River OR and honestly I think myself and like 30 other buddies must have watched it every single day that summer. Then go rip it up in the Gorge the next day. Good times.

[@windsurfer]

Ha so cool Daniel! 👍

[@TheVinsterSF]

visited Maui in sept of 95. Lived in Paia at the "cockroach house" with other young windsurfers living the dream. that tape was on repeat in the little common room back.

[@windsurfer]

Wow what a great time to be there!

[@predator-gre]

This is how life has to be lived.

[@jeromewatts5400]

The man, the myth, the legend........the yoda of windsurfing

[@WindsurfingEurope]

The Bible of Windsurfing

[@PoutineFPV]

You had me at "RIP"! I still have this VHS and pull it out every once in a while.

[@glynbritton9792]

The legend that still is Robby Naish 🫡.

[@cls9474]

Robbie's duck jibes made me work on duck jibes my whole life. You can fine tune them till death.

[@windsurfer]

Can relate! Tricky move!

[@dean4559]

"Welcome to Hawaii". I remember twenty years ago watching this(25?), my favorite part is his speed slalom segment. I would never have the balls to sail that speed thru vicious chop like that. 👍 Because of the opening Kailua segment, me and two friends went there in 1997, totally pumped, but got skunked. Too bad, what a beautiful place. We all had dreams of sailing to Bird Shit Island. 🐦

[@windsurfer]

Awesome story, that would be cool to sail between the islands.

[@phillipmorgan6822]

Incredible skills

[@wlyounce375]

HOW does this video only have 119 likes? Have THAT many people forgotten about Real Windsurfing ???

[@tobylane4935]

Even on my racing gear though.. I have a hard time resisting the temptation of getting air.

[@nowindnowavesnogirls-nofun4079]

i loved tradewinds with m. waltze and fred haywood i think it is from 1985 or so. watched it 100times at least.

[@CHmLgN]

I can't believe people are on about the music being bad when every single track in the movie is a jam. I knew this when I was 7, quarter century changed nothing. I kid you not, my cat just pawed the volume up during white zombie. Very cool that Robby is still out there doing his thing though, that's what kicks the most ass for sure.

[@windsurfer]

🙌

[@fernlenker]

hey Paul thank you sooooo much ! =) waiting for wind is OK! ...the most people wait their whole live for a new i phone ? why walz when you can rock n roll take care! thank s a lot! good vibes =)) greetins steve

[@AntonRacing]

you have the TAPE !! holy shit. ixnay on the hombre stuck in my cars cd player for 7 years. but luckely i was alot windsurfing during that time.

[@windsurfer]

Ha cool John!

[@sharewavestv]

I love your intro!!! I can watch it over and over again!

[@windsurfer]

Gracias!

[@sharewavestv]

@@windsurfer hi Paul, have you been the drone pilot for the Simmer Style Taranaki video in New Zealand?

[@windsurfer]

@@sharewavestv yeah they used the footage I made a few years ago when I went to Taranaki 👍

[@OscarDiRienzo]

Hoy 13/05/23 viendo por enésima vez este video y disfrutándolo como la primera vez

[@windsurfer]

ja genial!

[@清野裕司-y2c]

このビデオテープ持ってる。久しぶりに見たらまたkailua beach に行きたくなりました。

[@schobihh2703]

After 25 Years this is this bad ass! RN signature style, not copied since

[@windsurfer]

It is cool.

[@larryturner2960]

Still have this on vhs.

[@hokubluesky4989]

While we pvssyes are wandering if the carbon boom is better for our below-the-average jibe, please look what Robbie were doing in the 90’s. I’ve seen also him make jumps with longboatds WITH NO STRAPS. 90’s windsurfers had five times the balls we think that we have

[@jodo1971]

This vid is very good! I sure wish I could afford to live in Hawaii ❤️

[@boatbyrd]

Hey Paul! I still have that tape!!! I’ve probably watched it 50 times. The sound track is just awesome!!! I just hope my vcr doesn’t break!

[@windsurfer]

Haha that’s cool boatbyrd!

[@Jameselcome_303]

awesome

[@sagespalding1958]

I love that this shows him in a beater van at Taco Bell haha I live in Haiku he just listed his oceanfront estate for $17 million…the guys has fucking killed it since this video

[@arnolddemaagd8678]

Mmm OK but can't beat Pauls wavesailing drone footage were the soundtrack is the wind and waves just awesome

[@adbouwens1111]

Pfff. First a thought;this can't be true. My Idol past away? I Loved him so much. i was shocked. But no. HE"S ALIVE. stupid me. It.s that video where our Robby is blasing like hell!! Thank God.

[@windsurfer]

Haha

[@calvinsullivan5741]

heck yeah!

[@DavidBassetti]

I loved it before..and it was really good to see again mate, thanks :)

[@ParisOEllinas]

There were alread waterproof cameras back then? I didn't know that

[@gotbeef7493]

36:01 nice, secret stash, followed by bush:)

[@manuelb8808]

The music is totally unbearable but the guy is a legend which by the way keeps rocking with a few more wrinkles on his skin. He hasn't lost it because he's a world-class champion. Good remember video!

[@colasmeu]

Fugazi @7:30

[@sizzler360er]

Music kicks ass

[@Juan_lauda]

Obviously licensing Soundgarden used up the music budget on this production. They had to get that metal jam band that exists in every rehearsal rooms in the world to finish the soundtrack. Pretty good windsurfing though.

[@pabbergara]

What he does at minute 8.. man, this guy is different

[@Luke-iw6xe]

Pretty sure Robby's "secret spot" is on the Marine Corps base as it's "just around the corner" and "you'd never find it even if you looked for it" because well, you need an ID card to get on base! ...unless you're Robby Naish.

[@windsurfer]

Ah interesting! Looks like a great spot.

[@paolomariotti1930]

Master

[@twistyroads]

Is that a Mistral Explosion in the beginning?

[@tomeberhard74]

back in the day when the drone was a helicopter

[@lenormandjean1856]

Je connais skate punk

[@wlyounce375]

What's the instrumental riff during the Slalom part..........the 24:30 to 28:40 bit ? Can't find it on the tunes listing.

[@windsurfer]

🤷🏽‍♂️

[@trje246]

I think it's just guitar but a technique called 'harmonics' when you're finger doesn't fully engage the string down to the fret board. _...i think?_

[@lifeasafish]

Paul any chance you have the ‘Surface Tension’ vhs? If so would you be willing to post it? Really enjoying watching all these old movies again.

[@windsurfer]

I just checked... I don't have Surface Tension sorry!

[@lifeasafish]

No worries! It was good of you to check. You’ve got an awesome channel here btw, I’ve been subscribed ever since watching that first Gerroa video with the Time Bandits soundtrack 🤙🏼

[@windsurfer]

@@lifeasafish hey thanks a lot mate you’re support is really appreciated. Without people like you I would have stopped the channel a long time ago!

[@harpoon_bakery162]

did he ever see sharks out there?

[@windsurfer]

I’m sure he’s seen a shark before

[@zawimpex]

There is one thing absolutley wrong about windsurfing: the music.

[@Lex-nr6qx]

I like it! 😁✊🏼

[@sizzler360er]

Music kicks ass

[@mtoto17]

The backwinded wavesailing is next level

[@alanpods2]

Backwinded wave sailing on a 90s slalom board is then another level beyond this 😮

[@windsurf888]

Best soundtrack ever.

[@windsurfer]

That’s a cool profile image you’ve got!

[@sharewavestv]

No, the first Jason Polakow video is much better 😎

[@dean4559]

Interesting, for the most part I find the soundtrack to this rather tedious, much of it a solo metal guitar and drums doing mostly just sort of an unlistenable one-note metal drone, with no particluar tune to it. Just my opinion. But the video is great. I am more partial to the music in 'Heart and Soul', and 'Spread the Word'.
