Of Wind and Waves: The Life of Woody Brown, an award-winning hour-long documentary on a 94-year old legend in the worlds of surfing, sailing and soaring, will receive a Pacifica Sneak Preview screening at the Log Shop, 640 Crespi Dr., in Pacifica at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 29, 2006. A donation of $5-$10 sliding scale will be requested at the door and the proceeds will benefit next year's Kahuna Kupuna Surf Contest organized by Pacifica surfer/gerontologist/social worker, Roy Earnest.

Maui resident, Woody Brown, has not only lived a life full of remarkable adventure and accomplishment—including inventing the modern catamaran, setting world gliding records, and surfing Hawai'i'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 a role model for three generations of Hawaiians. Of Wind and Waves is produced and directed by San Francisco filmmaker, David L. Brown, who directed the award-winning Surfing for Life (Best Documentary and Audience Award, Hawaii International Film Festival) that featured Woody. Filmmaker Brown will be present at the sneak preview screening to answer questions.
