Another instructor today, Sean, who is a big bloke but can sail the
slickest upwind 360's on tiny boards so that was the programme today.
First trip on the water was with these giant Tabou Coolriders with scooped
decks and tiny fins, this makes them great for light wind freestyle
practice. Sussed the upwind 360 on the big boards whilst the wind was
light but they became tricky as the wind picked up. Pretty soon the lesson
was abandoned for short boards as the wind picked up.
Had about an hour on a Starboard Kombat 95 trying body drags, upwind 360s
and various other exercises. Unfortunately the wind died before the video
was pointed at us but it was still a few more steps up the learning curve.
