Hey Guys

Back in the the day, but does anyone happen to have a copy of Rushwind Spread the Word?

I'm happy to organise for it to be digitised from video if that's what you have.

My favourite windsurfing movie of all time I reckon.

Actually l'm certain l do.

It's in a storage unit where we live in East Gippsland. Unable to get to it as its so close to Christmas.

Try & have a search after New year'ish. If you're patient, may need some prompting to remind me.

I'm one of those "back in the day guys".

Great times, hell of a lot younger & way more agile. But still skoot around from time to time.

If you're after an old skool wave board. Got one listed. No good to me anymore. Great board back in the day & today. However everyone wants New gear. Personally don't understand, but that's how it is.

I remember when we were making it. I flew the helicopter out from Troutdale to Hood River the day we chopped off the top of the mast. Was sitting on the rocks at the hatch when it happened. Was a great video and fun making it with Stu Sawyer and the boys, lots of great footage and Aussie music. It's on YouTube here:

Sorry double post. Even better thanks Roo, just watched it. It brings back many good memories.

That's my favourite part! As an impressionable teenager it was so wild!
You flew the helicopter? Was it that 47 you see in another scene?

Yep, one of my all time favourites as well.

I have a copy on tape, and maybe ripped to DVD? But now it's on the inter web, those are just a collectable curiosity.

Hi,

Yes, it's one of my all-time favorites.

I have a cassette copy and may have ripped it to DVD. However, now that it's on the internet, those are only collectible curiosities.
Thanks
