Robby Naish – A windsurfing legend
Date Of Birth: 4/23/1963
Hometown: Maui, Hawaii
Robby Naish has been a waterman since before the word waterman was even coined. Growing up a child of the sea, Robby has been fixated on life in the water since his early days. Eventually it transformed from his playground to his profession. He won countless events and accolades across a wide variety of watersports, including a slew of World Titles in windsurfing. He became one of the biggest names in the sport, using his mesmerizing skill to progress the sport into the attention of the mainstream. These days, he’s still stoked as ever and he still approaches the ocean with the child-like affection and obsession that drew him in to begin with.
Jason Polakow’s search for the perfect wave for windsurfing has just begun.
This time, he travels to Indonesia for a windsurf adventure like no other.
Jason’s true passion has always been chasing down some of the biggest waves and best surf conditions and he is the only wave-sailor to break away from full-time competition to challenge nature in its most extreme form. In February 2016 he became the first windsurfer to tackle the giant waves at Praia do Norte, near Nazaré, Portugal, saying: “This isn’t Maui, You don’t come out here for 20 fun waves. You come out and you feel good if you get one or two unbelievable rides.”
