I learned on a mistral board at 16....still go at 50 on my old school mistral competition...Robby Son of Poseidon...Prince of the Ocean...Legend.

I was twenty and Robby was a mith for us, we learned very much looking at him. Now I'm 60 y.o. and still going with my boards, but still today with many young lions he remain the greatest of all times !

The only video you need to become a great windsurfer. The more of Robby’s maneuvers shown here that you can learn to duplicate the greater windsurfer you’ll be. Personally, so far I’ve only been able to master the beach start and water start, but then I’ve only been at it a couple decades.

Oh man, this brings back memories. Thanks for sharing.

Mad skills with the old school style . . . respect

I’ve watched him grow up He is a true watermen MAD PROPS !!! I got my first sailboard a west wind in Fla 1980 then moved So Cal wave Sailing yeah !!! He always inspired me !!! MUCH LOVE 💕 💕💕

What a flashback...in the late 80s it was just thrilling to see a real shortboard, it was a totally way of life, not a status like today...

Fan depuis les années 80

thank you robby for all these years, thank, thank thank of france. thank.

These video's from "back in the day" are interesting to watch because they show that the essential character of wndsrfng is playing and just screwing around. IMO, "these days", everyone is trying to 'go fast', 'go big', or 'go to the max!'... Windsurfing is such a blast. I try to go but where I live, during the summer, the "perma-breeze", 4-8 knots, kills it. Fair Winds!

Robby always had some serious skills!

Being a prodigy helps figure out where to our your feet. Great guy. Helped me submit a board design to Iggy when his dad was out of the Kailua shop I said “is ____here?” Response, “no, will I do?”. Beat board I ever had. Forgot, he added “thin tail like Robby’s”

I had the same sail back in the day, look at how high the boom is...good times.

Still have both videos on VHS

He is the King....

Lo siento por los pros de hoy. No cambio yo las maniobras de este vídeo con aprender el freestyle wave actual, que se necesita demasiado tiempo para aprender y no se disfruta de la fluidez en una ola. Gracias Robby Naish por haber estado con el windsurf tantos años, saludos de un admirador desconocido!

Robby is a fuckin’ legend. Love this oldskool video

what an inspiration

Nobby Rash as we used to call him. We weren't jealous honest.

genius ever

So is he putting his back foot in the front foot strap when he does the basic tack?

still cool !

looks like an early to mid 1980's video, from the sails.

There's next to no wind, yet he's squeezing out decent board speed. Meanwhile, the 2 mortals are bobbing away.

Robby Magic

Wow! Such antique gear! Almost comical...

Ah this is great. I'm trying to figure out the heli...

Good

His harness line is a bit of rope

great! anybody knows who made the first duck's jibe?

Como surfista pienso.... tan solo se ha retrasado la posición de los pies de mástil por la evolución de las velas y mástiles. Los shapes de olas son como básico lo mismo que el progreso que se ha llevado con el surf, otra cosa, son las maniobras actuales.

3:10

After that I gave up on manoeuvers. Then came spocks and monkey jubes.
