Volume 4 Issue 4

4.4 cover

On the cover:
Matt Schweitzer
Matt Schweitzer fought cancer for the past five years and has returned to claim his title as the "Ambassador of Fun". The son of the co-inventor of the sport, Matt Schweitzer has seen the peaks and the valleys of life. His presence on the cover of this issue is a metaphor for the return of windsurfing's health and proliferation. Photograph taken by John Chao with a Canon EOS-1 and a 80-200 zoom lens.

Interview with Jim Drake
"It's an overlooked fact - Every time that Jim Drake goes windsurfing, he rewrites the history books. The reason is simple: No one, anywhere, has been windsurfing longer than Jim Drake."
Interview by John Chao

Interview with Hoyle Schweitzer
"Yet today, in the presence of a man who might have been despised in earlier times because of a heavy handed licensing discipline, Hoyle Schweitzer, ten years later, is completely gracious."
Interview by John Chao

Freestyling with Matt Schweitzer
and Francisco Goya

"Thinking that Francisco had either forgotten or failed to find a board on Maui, I was pleasantly surprised when the young Argentinian told me that he had not only found a board, but that Matt Schweitzer, son of Hoyle, wanted to go sailing with us."

Gone Wind Fishing: A Very Big Fish Story
"I got as close to the fish as possible, trying to fill the frame with action as the men struggled to kill the big Tuna and string a rope through its gills for towing. I snapped maybe five frames then realized I needed to get out of there.
