After the complete lack of wind yesterday this afternoon came back with a
vengeance. They had a photographer and video on the platform for our
benefit. A couple in the group were determined to forward loop even though
the water was pretty flat, looking at the video it seemed to be a series of
painful body slams without getting the board out of the water.
Started with a F2 Stoke 125 and a Disco 6.4 but changed down to a F2 Ride
260 and a Disco 5.9 pretty quickly. Soon went down to a Superstar 5.3 and
a Style 255 and launched myself into a series of 360's and Vulcans. Pulled
of a decent 360 only to look up to find the camera on someone else but got
a decent Vulcan attempt on film. It appears my problem is not having my
feet far enough in the straps.
Sailed until I was stupidly overpowered and I couldn't hold on anymore - an
excellent day.
