This is a nice short film on windsurfing...visually interesting..nice features of being able to view either a back or forward loop from multiple angles...however, at only 50 minutes long, this should be priced in the $10-$15 range. I realize this is sold as Volume #1, but I will not be buying any future volumes at this price.

I should have judged by the title. What settled for this because there were no others on the market. I wanted big air and amazing footage, and there isn't much.

The footage of people Windsurfing is great, as for production quality and actual content this is a pretty bad DVD.

For example. There's a section where they have some footage with a number of angles. Rather than actually use the angles feature of the DVD so that you can change the angle during the clip, you have to go back to the menu and select it.

I certainly wouldn't pay $30 for this, I'm very glad I rented it.

Winsurfing Encyclopedia is just that. It starts out with a history of the sport illistrated with amusing film clips. Ian Boyd leads the viewer through to the present day. There is team racing, wave sailing, children and seniors sailing The truly innovated part of the vidio, is the interactive menus, allowing the viewer to visualize moves by pro windsurfers from different angles.

All in all Windsurfing is Truly innovated part of the video is the interactive menus, allowing the viewer to visualize moves by pro windsurfers from different angles.

All in all, Windsurfing Encyclopedia is interesting, informative, and above all entertaining.
