At one time referred to as "surfing's ginger haired cousin" by the sport's legendary champion, [[Robby Naish]]<ref>http://www.thewindsurfingmovie.com/ Robbie Naish interview from the film "The Windsurfing Movie"</ref>, windsurfing has long struggled to present a coherent image of the sport to outsiders. Indeed, until the 1990s participants would regularly use different names to describe the sport, including '''sailboarding''' and '''board sailing'''. Despite the term "Windsurfing" becoming the accepted name for the sport, participants are still called "sailors" and not "surfers".
