VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Water Sports Champ Robby Naish Explains How He Overcame Setbacks Doc ‘The Longest Wave,’

Robby Naish had a long and arduous journey toward riding the longest wave he has ever ridden in his life.

The 24-time water sports world champion — who has competed in sports like windsurfing, kitesurfing, hydrofoil surfing and stand-up paddling — spoke to uSports exclusively about his experiences, struggles and injuries and how they are portrayed in the Red Bull Films documentary The Longest Wave. Naish, 56, revealed one particularly horrific injury that proved to be a major setback for him, as it was his first one in 40 years of competing professionally and sidelined him for six months — the longest stretch he has ever gone without participating in any water sports. Naish shattered his pelvis during a kitesurfing photo-shoot.
