thx 4J, that's some awe-inspiring wave windsurfing....what an amazing sport! Great links.
I'll be flipping the channels on BWD and likely stick with watching CB-TV tomrw (from work), if the forecast holds. Looking very red/orange for the mid-island eastside. Comox is off the map at 35 knots++ from 9am-9pm.
Have fun and be safe out there in the wintery storm season!

Child of the Wind video produced in LaVentana, 2013

Post by Sandy Beach »

This beautiful video dedicated to the lifestyle of the LaVentana wind community (young and gracefully aging) was produced by Daniel Dancer in Jan2013, at the time and place that we were staying while he was making this film.
<a href="/http://vimeo.com/58224591" target="_blank"> Child of the Wind </a>
Adrian is featured at 3:24 - 3:33 flying through the air in front of the arroyo.
RIP, and may the wind always be with you, Adrian.
