Of Wind and Waves: The Life of Woody Brown Summary Of Wind and Waves: The Life of Woody Brown, is an hour-long documentary on a remarkable legend in the worlds of surfing, sailing and soaring. Maui resident, Woody Brown, (who passed away at age 96 in 2008) 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 did so with a kind of selflessness and generosity that have made him an inspiring role model for four generations of Hawaiians, especially surfers and sailors. The documentary captures Woody s 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 protégé 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 Woody s 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 Woody s long life to complement coverage of his contemporary life as an amazingly lively elder. It won the Inspiration Award at the 2006 Mountainfilm in Telluride, Best Surfing Film at 2006 Byron Bay Film Festival and the Adventure Award at the San Francisco Ocean Film Festival. It was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Documentary in 2008.
