Windrider
Stewart "P.C." Simpson (Burlinson) lives in a magnificent beachfront home, and is an enthusiastic windsurfer, indulging his passion for windsurfing on a daily basis. His wealthy father (Tingwell) may fault P.C.'s inconsistency in working within the company he owns, but can appreciate his son's remarkable abilities on the waves.
