Not many movies about windsurfing (though Australia lays claim to Wind Rider).

Recently unearthed this trailer for Great White, in which a fish attacks a windsurfing regatta.

It's said that the movie was such a ripoff of Jaws that Jaws' producers got it forced out of theaters in a week.

Looks like a crack-up! Great White downs helicopter! Looks like Jaws on steroids.

My GF was watching one of those sh!te american sitcoms the other night...i think it's called How I Met Your Mother... and there where some quite funny references to windsurfing..Something about a bloke this guys ex met in brazil and he was the perfect rebound bloke. He was a windsurfing,guitar playing massuse...lol...all the caracters where supposed to hate him but coudn't help loving him
Then they showed him teaching her to windsurf with a very poorly rigged sail.....

Probably the one an only time i will watch that show

Glad that they have finally made a documentary to worn everyone about these vicious sharks. Don't know how many times ive seen a helicopter fly too close to the water and then be brought down by a big old whitey, pilots should be aware of the risks when flying near the sea.

Also there's the concern of sharks knocking speedboats ten feet up into the air...they really ought to start using armor plating.
