The unique and outstanding talent in windsurfing is too substantial to enumerate, much less to portray each individually. So here you will find those who have caught my eye in a special way. These legends are the ones who have taken my breath and my heart with their spirit and skill.
Hawaiian raised Robby Naish
is the most recognized name in windsurfing. His career grew with the sport itself from its origin and he became one of its first athletes to gain enduring international fame. Though now retired, he is a master of windsurfing and kitesurfing. His winning personality and natural love of people have made him the universal symbol of the sport.
Matt Schweitzer,
the son of the man who brought windsurfing to the world, has consistently windsurfed longer than anyone alive.
