Of Wind and Waves: The Life of Woody Brown
documentary
Running Time: 62
'Of Wind and Waves: The Life of Woody Brown,' is an hour-long documentary on a remarkable 94-year-old legend in the worlds of surfing, sailing and soaring. Maui resident, Woody Brown, has not only lived a life full of extraordinary adventure and accomplishment including inventing the modern catamaran, setting world gliding records, and surfing Hawaii's 25-foot surf in the early 1940s but he has also done so with a kind of selflessness and generosity that have made him an inspiring role model for several generations of Hawaiians, especially surfers and sailors. The documentary captures Woodys unique blend of enthusiasm, wisdom and spirituality that makes him a truly inspirational figure for everyone who has met him. Born to great wealth in New York City, Woody ran away from the life of privilege to become a pro of Lindbergh at age 16. The film captures his journey to become a world record glider pilot, then a surfing pioneer before the tragic death of his first wife in childbirth.'Of Wind and Waves' explores Woodys life in his own words and from the perspectives of his family and friends who have shared his journey, along with surfing and soaring historians. The film also features a remarkably rich archive of film and photography from every stage of Woodys long life to complement coverage of his contemporary life as an amazingly lively elder.
