Classic VHS of The Maui Windsurfing Grand Prix 1982 – This event filmed by Tom Tatum was the premier to probably defining every other Windsurf event to follow (well before O’neill invitations and Aloha Classics). The Video grabbed both aspects of windsurf competition with Course racing, Slalom and Wave disciplines and melded them into a highly watchable scheme. Interviews with Robby Naish, Mike Waltze, Ken Winner and Julie DeWerd created the windsurf celebrity. Look out for Arnaud De Rosnay the windsurf adventurer.
It really was a pioneering video with great music as well.
Compilation of the greatest / worst jet ski wipeouts caught on tape.

Jet skis are also used to help surfers away from the white water after a big wipeout. The jet ski drivers takes huge risks driving in front of the smashing waves. And sometimes also they get caught.
