In The Footstraps Of Giants : The New Zealand Windsurfing Story
Paperback Edition: 1
Set sail on a nostalgic journey into the exhilarating world of New Zealand windsurfing. In the Footstraps of Giants, written by former grandmaster windsurfing world champion Bruce Trotter, is more than a celebration of the sport - it's a heartfelt tribute to the remarkable individuals, places and events that have shaped half a century of windsurfing in the Land of the Long White Cloud. We're transported back to the humble beginnings of windsurfing in New Zealand - to an era of Dacron, daggerboards, wooden booms and skegs. We meet the pioneers who ventured far from the shore, carving their own paths through uncharted waters. But it's in the 1980s that our story truly takes flight as windsurfing rides a wave of popularity and success. Through Bruce's vivid storytelling and a good dose of Kiwi humour, we meet the legends who conquered the waves the world over. In the Footstraps of Giants is an inspiring collective memoir - a story giving voice to larger-than-life personalities and unsung heroes. A shared wave. A salute to the indomitable spirit of New Zealand windsurfing. So, grab your harness, hook in, and relive the magic in the footstraps of giants.
