Yep, these people ruined my life all right. Newman Darby or Chilvers or Bob the Ape may have invented the sport, but these two brought it to light. I was on my way to a Major League Baseball career, or winning the America's Cup... yeah right. Until I saw one of those things... and met Hoyle and Diane Schweitzer.

Hoyle Schweitzer sailing the first marconi rigged wishbone board called the SK8. The word Windsurfer did not come until later, coined by a friend.

But it was their son, Matt, in Boy's Life, that set my path on fire. Who set yours?

Who is this kid? Any potential? One of the all time greats with some of the all time greats. Photos by Da? Harvey Wallbanger? Police? Hellboy? Ansel Adams? Ruldolph Rednose? None by Edward or J Weston. Check the Glory Riders menu pulldown to find mine. Not many, due to angry Ma in law throwing boxes of photos out because "they all looked the same."

DR Crew

Look at these stud muffins! I guess the water is good in the DR. Paul Polar, Gary Eversole and Mike Gebhart (not sure how to spell as he always goes by Gebi). All three, gone to the dark side. Paul was one of the original Florida windsurfers, and Gary, yeah well, he was okay at freestyle. I think Gebi had something to do with the olympics. Paul now owns Skinz. I think they make bikinis and banana hammocks. Where's Mark (brainfart), Cort's friend? He wore that well. Gary just kites. Gebi breaks people in two and calls it massage. What a crew.
