Description
“Wind, waves, girls and rocks that loomed like sirens – what could go wrong? Jonathan takes us back to the exploits of rock and roll thrill seekers who felt the need for speed and tempting unknown possibilities in the big wind, giant wave playgrounds of Maui.
This book is the ‘Top Gun’ of windsurfing.” Bill Boyum, Author, Journals from the Edge
Capturing Maui's golden era of windsurfing, from the early pioneering days of Kailua to the big waves at Hookipa and Jaws, this book tells the story of the Kings and legends of the sport as it evolved from longboards to high-performances in big surf. Fictional dialogue accompanies remarkable true events of survival, from near drownings to helicopter crashes. Told by Sports Illustrated Picture of the Year (POY) award-winning photographer and filmmaker Jonathan Weston. He was the first filmmaker to take the audience along for the ride with his innovative point-of-view (POV) helmet mounted 16mm movie camera. The thrills, dangers and behind the scenes experiences are all shared in this epic tale of perseverance and survival. Remarkable images and Wind Legends movie, also produced by Jonathan Weston, are posted in accompanying website. There’s even a bit of rom-com!
"A remarkable story of perseverance and triumph of the human spirit. While the land and seascape it took place in, Maui Glory Days, was an incredible era, the heart of the story is the turbulence Weston survived along the way. I picked the book up and couldn't sleep until the final page was turned." Barry Spanier, World Champion’s Sailmaker and Author, The Bare Chronicles
