does anyone still use Tumblr?? I will put this out there, to see.

Not many people know about George Grennough's windsurfing achievements. We are going to talk about it in our next magazine issue. This rig is all self-built, tweaked and DIFFERENT to anything you have seen before. None of it was 'off the shelf', all 100% custom built. It was FAST! He went through half a dozen rigs and board designs until he had to quit, because his knee gave up. The camera was mounted himself and a remote shutter release cable on the boom, with a fisheye lens...Film, circa 1980s -when the surf just got too crowded. He shot a bunch of photos with the camera mounted on top of the mast too, it’s a really interesting perspective. #originalgopro #georgegreenough #fisheyelens #windsurfinginnovations #innovator #inventor #bestselfieever (check our new website http://hodaddy.com.au)

"What the corporates have done is turn surfing from something

that was fun and you did with your friends…

it was a little bit like building go-carts in your backyard,

and now suddenly it has become a huge business.”

—George Greenough

The Peugeot motor-boat car was an advertisement object for Peugoet Nautic. The front end was a cut open boat hull on a Peugeot car chassis. It had a propeller but no drive shaft, and it wasn’t actually amphibious, unfortunately. October 1926. (via Carstyling)
