Man, this guy was my hero, when I was trying to first stand up on my original one design, complete with teak boom, mast base and the nasty metal universal joint. 30 years later passed beyond being a hero, he's a living legend. No drugs, no scandals just pure ability and humility.

Living legend! Can’t believe you are still riding big waves. Windsurfing god!

I've met Robbie twice and both times really made an impression on me, as I'm a lifelong windsurfer since 1984 (now a kiter) and he has always been the King in my book. Last time I ran into him was in 2017 on Maui at Kanaha on a light wind day. He was by himself in his VW van, doing R&D on a windsurf foil board with a 4.7 wave sail and no harness. He launched it off the beach and started planing right away while other people were out there schlogging on 6.5 meter sails and big floaty boards. He told me he was hoping that foiling would breathe new life into windsurfing. And now watching him with the Wind Wing ... he's always finding new ways to have fun on the water.

"Mr. Windsurfing" - Robby Naish! A legend and a pioneer of the sport yes... but still humble and a kind hearted soul even after all these years. Long may you run brother!

Here a reaction from Holland. Robby you are the best. We are about the same age. I have still got your windsurfbooks “ Windsurfing with R.N” I learned the duke jibe out of these books. Or the railride. In those days very cool. Ha ha. On a Mistral Naishboard, made by your father! My god. What a great time. I still dream about surfing in condissions you’r surfing in. Windsurfing IS a passion an STAYS a passion. Even at 56!!

Robbie and laird will always be out there for eternity, they were the pioneers of the place... both living legends

Hi Robby!! I'm 61 , frenchman, and I've been following you for years (in fact since you were 12-13 yo!! Long long time 😄😄😄 You're realy the best waterman ever!! I remember a lot of souvenirs about you, ....I saw you in Paris for the indoor too 👍 the tiger in the bathroom!! 😂😂😂 Nice to see you still having so much fun and sharing it with us ...the poor humans ( cause we obviously aren't from the same planet!!👽 Great thank's Meister for all the joy you give to us all that time all around the world !!!! 🙏😊🙏 Nice to be able with YT to say that to you Robby!! Friendly , Aloha!! Richard Lionheart from France 👍😎🇫🇷

Gotta love the king: does a 15 mile wing downwinder after a jaws session, "to get some exercise in" !

US-1111 is a legend. Used to watch your vids on my VHS when I was a kid, dreaming on windsurfing in Maui. Still on my bucket list. Thanks for being an inspiration Mr.Naish.

I just love this guy. Robby is my all time favourite sports star. He's been my inspiration for more yes than I care to remember. Please remaster RIP

You and your pink US 1111 have always had the ability to me smile, scream, and happy cry simultaneous! Simply. The. BEST. thanks!

Still separating the men from the boys - even after all these years! Robby - your a big inspiration to keep the surf spirit over so many years and forget the age.

Your dad was my biology teacher at Roosevelt. I remember he had surfboards in his office. :D Your dad is very proud of you.

Hi! Robby is spectacular. For windsurf it's like Picasso for cubism. He draws the waves with a special class. After 30 years and more same emotion. Thanks.

I got to spend 3 days with this legend in Cabarete in the 1980s . He was and is the nicest guy. We were out riding and he broke his fin 1 km from shore . We came back together and he was still in total control of his board and still faster than me even without a fin! We would go to lunch at el Duro bar and he was just a regular guy. Robby you may not remember me but you will always be my friend!

I have loved following and watching Robby Naish my entire life in wind surfing. Still do and nothing has changed, makes me smile every time. I took up windsurfing in the early 80's and I still windsurf in the Gorge at 61. I went snowboarding yesterday at Skibowl then came home and watched Robby on video. Everybody I know feels the same about Robby Naish, we all love him!

Pure class this video, obviously with Robby sailing Jaws, but also the light touch with the soundtrack, choosing light tracks not distracting from the sailing, big up to the music producer for this video, and of course Robby who continues to inspire windsurfers everywhere. The downwinder to the harbor, Robby floating over the speedboat's wake was a great bonus.

Hi Robbie--It is so great that you are still on the water and and riding everything in your path. it brings tears of happiness to my eyes just to watch you sail. A poster you autographed for me in the early 80's remains on my wall as an inspiration from the ultimate waterman.

I love to see that you are still in shape Robby! I have not windsurfed for many years, but just watching these images makes me yearn for the good times spent on a board. By the way, that Deep House music is fantastic ......

Huge respect, you always have been an example, a mentor since I started windsurfing at 10, I am 46 ! You are the Man ! Go on ! It won't change.

Thanks for sharing. Have watched so much surf footage of the recent run of swell at jaws, it was great to see some windsurf footage.

I started windsurfing in 1977 as a 10 year old kid. Robby was already a world champion and an inspiration back then. I still wind- and kitesurf and Robby still inspires me. I’ll have to start wingfoiling...

Great video - I enjoyed you sharing your thoughts in the car before and after as much as the actual footage ! ...wonderful to hear your mind set and hear the thoughts of someone who has truly done it all before and after a Jaws session. Truly amazing from the perspective of this average windsurfer. Thanks for a small peak into your current world been following your exploits for 40 years

Great session, great music! You are a monument of the water sport scene! Thank you for all the years of pioneers work and professional entertainement!

Amazing, loved the intro reflecting on the aging process. You're still killing it Robby.

Anyone remember when he won the “worlds” at thirteen in the Bahamas with teak booms. Been the man ever since, and a class act to boot.

Inspired several generations of us. 🖤🖤🖤 Robbie Naish is the answer to the worlds biggest basketball question. Who is better Jordan or LeBron. Man I have no idea about basketball but entire generations started playing basketball and surfing because of this guys. They changes the sport…

The definition of Legend US 1111 👌🏽

You have raised the whole thing to an art form. Great music and video work. Incredible footage on the wing run down wind. Just beautiful!

Robby - you are still my hero...you are magic...you have been my hero when I started windsurfing with 12...now I am 50 and still you are...greetings from cold Germany...awesome video...and by the way...the pivot rocks...

Haha..waterman gets seasick! You are awesome...thanks for sharing part of your life

So happy to see you riding with this spécial class. I'm 46. 30 Years you inspiring people. So much respect. Great spirit. Full of joy to see you still riding. Youen from Tahiti. Mauruuru Robby 🙏☺️

Robbie made his surfing on the absolutely messy North Sea in the Netherlands look like ballet. It was only white water, and Robbie was the only one to show perfect moves, turns and jumps. Back in the early eighties he participated in a competition. I was just starting out and his performance and perseverance inspired me so much I'm windsurfing to this day. Indeed a legend and a kindhearted soul.

Robbie, love from France, you are living legend. In our hearts.

Amazing as you have always been all these years. Thank you for inspiring thousands across the globe!

You're just a cool dude, robbie. "I left the big ones to the young tow guys, because I figure they need it more". Sportsman and gentleman all the way! 👍🤙

Saw Robbie in Florida keys around 25 years ago but too in awe to approach. A total legend

All m'y respects Robby from France. You are m'y boss ans m'y King....long live to you...🥰.and thanks for this sharing...🤩

Your still the man Robby. Inspiring since my first days of Windsurfing in 1988. Great that you still hanging loose.🤙

I have been windsurfing for more than 30 years, after looking at your photos (not many videos at the time). Thank you Robby!! You are a legend!!!

Respect! (Plus: I thought I was the only one who loves the ocean while suffering from seasickness! You made my day!)

Thank you for sharing, I am still windsurfing after many years and you were a big inspiration for me and I remember how stoked I was to getting your RIP Video and watching on the VCR with my wife. Haha time has flown by! Wing foiling is very intriguing hmmm 🤔😁👍

A honored view of a gentleman and a humble Icon who is completely one with his sport...this is honesty and purity of joy shared.

man, my now dead father was a big fan of you when surfing came to germany. i read an interview long time ago and now you are still here. so sympathic, danke mann, du sprichst auch sehr gut deutsch rob. good luck for the future!

Thanks for all the joy, and the very best wishes from Oz! I'm a long time sailboarder and kitesurfer and I'll never forget seeing for the first time ever a kite hovering above me on a beach in northwest WA while I was rigging a sailboard, backlit by the afternoon sun. Kiteboarding had only just arrived to Australia, and it was the only kite there, parked up in the sky. I still remember being slightly mystified and awestruck by this powerful thing just hovering above me. And in big, black letters, the word "NAISH"! I've had so many wonderful life experiences around sailboarding and kiting, thank you Robbie for your incredible contribution to these and other water-sports. Keep powering!

Robby tu sei il poeta del windsurf ...... Robby you are the windsurfing poet

Thx for taking us all along on your sessions on the water :) Hearing you talk so calm, honest and open about jaws and getting older does not reduce my admiration, grattitude and respect for what you've done for the surf/water-world in any way. On the contrary, you age with grace and you are still an amazingly inspiring waterman - It only seems natural to let go a bit of the extremes in the sport. Even though you are 17 years older than me, you are still a more fit surfer than me. Many free-surfers like myself never even dared to go (or felt like going) out to big waves like jaws, even when younger. So don't you worry too much about one day letting go of jaws :D haha For me the essence of being in/on the water has little to do with competition or prestige, it's a gift - a privilegie which so many watermen/women around the globe find, if they keep coming out there. Something pulls us and we occationally get somewhat grumpy when we can't go :D The battle with the elements may always be part of it, but so are the calmer sessions. Somehow I love those calm days more and more, and the older I get, the more I seem to find joy and laughter in playing around, doing silly stuff on the quiet sunny days. Somehow rediscovering why I wind/kite/surf/sail more and more. All the best from Denmark, all the way on the other side of the globe, where we are waiting for spring and light to come back - so we can go surfing again when we come home after work :) Until then - a pleasure to watch your videos and dream away!

I started windsurfing in 1989 and the pink sail with US-1111 will always be my G O A T. and I still think that E-11 was a copy cat. :o)

Legend. Still looking up to you over the years. Much respect for you Robby. Hang Loose!!!

When he jumped off the boat onto his board ... did anyting more than his ankles get wet for the wholes session? I'm 50+ he was an inspiration for my windsurf first wave teenage self. Never have and never will sail like him or in such a stunning location, but he's such a good human I have no envy.

Amazing footage at Jawes and I like vlog style video, rather than just action. Keep ripping 🤙

Nice! Out there with the elements! Been at sea all my life and the rush from a powerful swell is unbeatable. Thanks for the video.

US1111 still out there shredding! How I miss my days living, surfing and windsurfing on beautiful Maui. I used to live a little up the street from you and drove past your house all the time. Much respect, Robby.😀🤙🏼

Robby, you are still the greatest!!!!

Robby is definitely a legend he is the Tiger Woods of Windsurfing. I moved to Maui in 1990 after seeing him in magazines.

40 years ago I saw a video with Robby doing the pipeline. It was amazing, inspired me to start windsurfing and still does till this day. He’s an artist!

I've met you in 1995 and brought as a gift some brazilian coffee LOL. I have the photo of you, me and the coffee. By that time, you werre already windsurfing God/king! and some 25 years later... you still are and will always be!

Legend! Thank you for sharing these magic moments with us Robby!

Classy! You make it all look so easy, thank you for taking us along.

Just amazing... We feel alive watching your videos. Not enough grateful words I can say.

Robby i appreciate your modesty. You are an example. No more loud poseors, standout. A modest person stays longer

A Real Pleasure to watch this !!! Thanks for letting us have fun thru you !

You have great friends, the camera footage was spectacular, and the music was dramatic, thanks for taking us along, epic.

Thumbs up , great video work and absolutely incredible wind surfing . I was surfing back in the days of the Long board and never imagined the sport would expand to using foils , sails , wings . Excellent choice of music this video made my morning .. well done !

Robby saying he's getting seasick on a boat is hilarious🤣

Only Robby can make wing foiling not look awkward. Good stuff

Saw you as a teenager for a demo at the Belgian coast (Oostende) in heavy weather - I was a windsurfer at the time as well. Never forgot that moment. You had a home made board, with straps glued on - as they didn't really exist yet. It will stay with me forever.

You are, and always will be, my hero!!! Greetings from the Normandie S/V Moana

Robby was our sailboard shop's poster boy back in '81. We kept trying to emulate towards his moves, in our own Michigan, Mom and Pop retail store kind-of-way. I never got close, but my buddy Randy did. Robby was inspiring, just from the magazines alone.

Wow!!! Much respect! My body is too beat to windsurf anymore. The man,, the legion

A day in the life. Thanks for sharing. We were in awe seeing you in the Gorge back in the day. Nice boat!

Mahalo You were inspiration as I watched you at the top of Kahala off Diamonds Head in the earlier 80’s. Your grace on the water is quite refreshing & fantastic to view on this Media platform-Continue to be innovating. How fun are those rolling Swells-jealous! Your The Man, The brand.

So great to see Robby like this :) But one day my man its over and just to remember your beautiful wave riding :) Thanks for sharing this with me.

G'day maaaate, good to see you showing the kids how its done. Also to hear your opening comments is wise words from a true seasoned waterman. Always modest and humble brah. Aloha and be safe Kaina living in the Gr8 Southern coast West Oz.

Aw dont say it could be the last time bra i almost cried. YOUR THE GOAT .🤙

Nice, you had a lot of fun! That's where it's all about!

Absolutely amazing!! There will never be another one like you!!

Aloha Robbie, it feels good to be brought along and then see Mr. Smooth droppin in. I enjoyed it, man. Ain't life wondrous? You still da man, Robbie. Mahalo neighbor, mahalo.

You see that number on the water, US-1111, you know you are in the presence of greatness. 40+ years of skills. Tearing up Jaws at 57, that is gladiator stuff.

robby is a real example for all of us. Still strong, brave, riding double mast high waves, but humble. That's what not only a champion but a real man is made of...

Respect. Classic. The beauty of the sport. Shows love. No speed freaks, or crazy freestyle. The real deal.

it s still so awsome whatching him windsurfing in the big waves - the hero of my youth. he was the reason I started windsurfing in a age of 19...now I am into surfing...

Great to see Robby is still out there! The man knows how to live life!

Looks awesome! Wing down wind looks like so much fun! I’m psyched for that when I can finally afford it

The wing surfing down winder looked so fun, I think I'm gonna try wing surfing soon. Awesome video!

Such a legend and an inspiration to all windsurfers. You're awesome bro. Love your vids. I hope to be windsurfing Hood river, Oregon this spring soon.

It's interesting for about 2 minutes. Never saw this guys before but good lock to him and his sport. Seems like a nice man. All the best.

My hero is still kicking hard !! From windsurfing through kitesurfing to wing foiling now !! I am planning to move to Hawaii in the near future. Then, hopefully, I can meet up with him in person !! 🥰😍🤩

Thank you for a lifetime of inspiration. Respect.

Wing/ Foil surfing.... What a way to go!! I Like this Video!! To ride above the waves & surf...So cool!!

Still the Boss, like Neil Young on water! You inspired generations and I think of all the great ones who came up with you, the pioneers!

Robbie you are a legend & an inspiration to so many!

Rock on Robby, first time viewer, and had no idea you hold 23 world titles, that's awesome! You've got me by a year, so there is hope for me yet, and we were both born in So Cal, so glad to see your still at it and looking great! Blessings my friend, and see you at the Poppermost! :)

Man, your still doing big stuff...Your a Legend inspiring us as well!...

Man, we've got almost the same age and must give that to you, those big balls haven't shrunk with the age. Total respect for a legend.

The GOAT having fun, so cool

For Robbie Naish, mastering the wind and surfing on the sea looks as natural as walking for all of us.

The master at work

自分今７０だけど３６年前ロビーのビデオ見ていたが自分より年上の筈、流石にキレは無くなったがこの年齢でこの波に入るなんて信じられん。やはりロビーが一番。

Incredible! How old are you again?! 25 is it? :) The man who rides mountains is still at it. What a LEGEND!!!!!!
