WINDSURFING'S DYNAMITE

Thanks Ian! Actually none of us are really "musical" (although Anna keeps telling me she studied music at school, I don't think it was her best subject...). I think maybe Alex learnt to sing because he was such a poor sleeper as a baby and Anna spent hours trying to sing him to sleep...

It is funny how this song developed. When Alex first heard Taio Cruz's song "Dynamite" we were about to go to Curacao for the Slalom Worlds. So the first words of the song were "Ay-oh!" Curacao" since they fitted so well with the original lyrics. As time went on we all kept throwing in new lines until the whole song was written.

I think we must've needed a good Windsurfing anthem... Now it's my favourite song to play on the way to the beach.

I asked Alex what he wanted to say to everyone on the forum. He has been reading the comments and is totally overwhelmed. I don't think he was sure how everyone would feel about the song. He is really happy that everyone likes it.

Thanks for all your comments and support. Thanks to everyone who has sent PMs too. All much appreciated.

I've had the windsurfing song stuck in my head for days now !!! Thanks a lot !!!!
I wish i knew all the words though.....

hey alex what took you so long to post it
hey Aussiex you need to get some lessons from elli alex's little blister shes 6 "what ever age kids are with no front teeth" ive never seen anyone with so much determination to drag the board and sail to the water by the boom grunt grunt, jump on, and sail out in at least 15 knots, and tack and jibe like a pro
shes got this thing where when sailing off the wind she spins the sail like a duck jibe but a full rotation
when she come in i got my first lesson i said i wish i could do that, she said its eeeethey you just need to put your boom up higher thats what the guys do in bonaire shes a tuff little buggar i wouldnt go mes sin with her if i was a little kid

When you hear Roy Orbison's song in the video above, it makes it even clearer that we needed a new Windsurfing song....

Hi Alex, you are an inspiration to me and my two son's Sampson and Hugh
Russ Sampson and Hugh

I've had bits of it going through my head all weekend too. Songs which do that are usually hits! Get it out there on you tube and the kid's shows!

Well I just had to play it again....with all my editorial skills switched on. Couldn't find one.

That put a massive smile on my face. Thanks and keep it up

Thanks for showing this Alex.

My wife and I watched it last night and really enjoyed it. She does go windsurfing so she really appreciated your abilities as a windsurfer and we like how you are clearly having a lot of fun windsurfing.

You are right, windsurfing is dynamite.

Very cool

My 11 yr old boy also thinks it's great and he wants to windsurf.
The plan is coming together
