Amongst today’s boom of surfing and the birth of so many new watersports, windsurfing’s legacy to watersports is lost.
The origin story of windsurfing is complicated, and as always, great success is almost always paired with controversy. Broken Molds begins in 1960s California where Hoyle Schweitzer and his pals Tom Morey, Hobie Alter, and Grubby Clark were just surfers who didn’t care that much about anything else, but would all go on to make products that would change the world. Introduced by Gerry Lopez, the story moves quickly between generations and sports with never-before-seen 16mm archival film mixed with contemporary footage that transport the viewer to seminal moments in watersport history. Ultimately, this raises the question, who invented windsurfing?
While others have thought of harnessing the wind before, as Laird Hamilton explains, ‘It’s what you do with that thought that separates you from other people.’ This is a family drama challenged by cancer, lawsuits, and broken friendships. Broken Molds is a true documentary about the relentless drive to make windsurfing into the fastest growing sport in the World.
