Here is a Mistral promotion from about the same year.



"Mistral promotion video made around 1984 to 1985. It was made when Mistral boards were at their height. They had one the best world cup wins with the help of Robby Naish and Peter Cabrinha, Natalie Le lievre and Nevin Sayer.
Other Sailors include Jill Boyer, Karl Messmer.

The boards of the time were the Mistral Bemuda and Superlight (IMCO regatta boards), Maui (Mk II), Tarifa, Taloa (High litre short board - not shown), Malibu, Diamond Head (Slalom Board Mk II) and Hookipa (Wave Board). The most radical were the Diamond Head and the Hookipa.
The Sails shown were still basic for there day but gloriously colorful.

Filmed in Kailua Hawaii by Yuri Farrant - Thanks!

Music is "The Heat is On", a song written by Harold Faltermeyer for the Film "Beverly Hills Cop"

A great looking, colourful and Fun video capturing the new Funboard generation."
