YEARS OF

WIND
SURFING
WALKMANS WITH CASSETTE TAPES, POP
CULTURE, THE A-TEAM, LEG WARMERS, VIVID
NEON COLOURS AND WINDSURFING. No easy-
clamp on booms just knots, sails with few
battens but in bright pinks and yellows and
greens and long and narrow boards. That’s
how windsurfing was and a lot has changed.
Amongst all this, however, Flag Beach is still
going strong 30 years on.
