Windrider (alternatively worded as Wind Rider and also known as Making Waves) is a 1986 Australian romantic comedy film directed by Vincent Monton and starring Tom Burlinson. Filmed in Perth, Western Australia, Australia, it features Nicole Kidman in her first 'adult' role and includes a few nude scenes.
Stewart 'P.C.' Simpson (Burlinson) lives in a magnificent beachfront home, and is an enthusiastic windsurfer, indulging his passion for windsurfing on a daily basis. His wealthy father, (Tingwell) may fault his inconsistency in working within his father's company, but can appreciate his son's remarkable abilities on the waves. With the help of his father's company's engineer Howard (Chilvers), he develops a high tech sailboard for the coming world windsurfing championship. Jade (Kidman) is a rock singer, who starts a romance with P.C., but as their romance blooms, sport, friends and the upcoming championship become secondary.
The WindRider 17 is a small trimaran sailboat with foot pedal steering, for up to four people. It was designed by well known multihull sailboat designer Jim Brown and launched by WindRider LLC in 2002.
Lyrics: He appears from the mists of a dismal lake and the sky crumbles as he flies through the dimensions alone The night has laid a cape on his shoulders and with a grin on his face he attacks with his loyal soldiers, into the unknown There's no place for him in this world, and no ties and all this hate and grief unite in his mind Windrider - seeks freedom with vengeance on his mind to escape from the crimson skygrave and fly away Windrider - is waiting for the final day when he'll be released from the shackles of a slave In the eye of the storm he rides with jaded memories of his life as the fires are dancing colorfully, he is struggling to survive Trapped in a maze, can't get away, what have you became now Take the hammer of the elders and crush your way out His...
I trimmed this from another earlier video to showcase the WindRider 17 in high wind conditions for prospective owners.
http://www.rebeccaburg.com A girl and her boat. The sheer enjoyment of sailing a hyperactive small trimaran. This is a Windrider 16, the smaller sister to the Windrider 17 and Rave. Smaller, but no less of a badass. This is "Troika," the trailerable boat I've had since 1998. She is kept at a lake where she can be enjoyed by sailors with physical disabilities. The trimaran's stability and ease of handling is perfect for taking someone out of a wheelchair and giving them some freedom. Troika is also keeping me sane while I undergo cancer treatments. I took this video a few weeks after radiation therapy and just before surgery. (I mention this not to have people feel sorry for me, but to inspire and encourage other patients, or anyone. If I can do it, anyone can!) Music: "Awakening" by Silent...

In the days before the Sun and Moon when the stars lit
up the night
With the light of dew drops sparkling to set the sky
alight
The dew which rolled from silver leaves of the silver
tree
Into Elbereth's snow white hands, Elentari
Telperion
Telperion
When the days were lit by shining light, a light of
purest gold
From golden leaves on golden boughs, for all to behold
Standing high on the Summer Mound before the western
walls
Of the proud city of many bells, and the mighty Valar's
halls
Laurelin
Laureiln
Awaken my children under the starlight
Awaken my children under the moonlight
Watch the stars sail by
Sailing westards
Walk along the shores
Journey westwards
Walk along the shores of Helcar
Wander through the forests of the northern lands
Journey westwards over the mountains
And by the light of two trees
