sono abbonato a Time magazine e ho accesso all'archivio dal 1923 a oggi, cercando windsurf ho trovato:
Try to Catch the Wind

A hot sport combines the best of sailing and surfing
Britain's Prince Charles practiced it in the chilly waters off the Isle of Wight. Marlon Brando mastered it between takes of a film. A few plucky vacationers have even used it to island-hop among the Bahamas. From St. Louis to Saint-Tropez, people who used to ride sailboats or surfboards—or would not be caught on either —are trying something that combines the best of both: windsurfing, a fast-growing sport that makes the practitioner a part of his boat as he holds the sail, and the wind, in his hands.

è il pezzo iniziale, l'articolo è copyright, è carino e ben fatto, cita Drake,Schweitzer ma non ancora Naish, ci sono i modelli di tavole con dimensioni,prezzi:
40-lb. slab of foam-filled polyethylene, 12 ft. long and shaped like a surfboard
oppure:
the "Rocket," with foot straps for better control at high speeds ($795).
:-))
però Prince Charles e Marlon Brando che surfano non riesco a immaginarli ;-)
