Description:

First windsurfers in Croatia were seen along Adriatic Coast and it's Islands in the early 1970's. They were rare German and Holland enthusiasts who brought their boards to Croatian coast and sailed in, at that time, truly isolated places. Locals, old and young, were amazed by their appearance!
