This is great! After watching this I can go right out and try the first steps, even if I'm far off feeling ready to do it all the way. Good that it emphasizes the rotation around the vertical axis, making it clear it is a 'twist' not a 'cartwheel'.
Hi! I’m 42 years old, haven’t tried a forward since 2007. After watching this video I went out and did 34 tries (had my Garmin on to be able to count them afterwards) at the end of the sessions I was doing jumping attempts. It was completely onshore and horrible Mushy waves but thanks to trying forwards I had a great time!! This video got me back on the horse! Brilliant! Best video to follow and to get motivated, can wait for a mediocre day to get back out there! Thanks Josep!!!
Well it didn't go well, it didn't look that windy from the beach so I rigged my 5m. Turns out I could have probably managed with my 4m!! Mega overpowered!!
Excellent advice and very detailed tutorial! I lived in Pozo from 96 to 99while studying in the GC university and also worked instructing forward loop lessons. This brought me nice beautiful memories.
in 1990 i tried this for 2hours at 1bft the rotation of the sail, next day i went to the northsea with small sail was barely getting speed and tried my first, i was so surprised that everything happened as i thought in my head that i throw the stuff half way because the first you always remember and i new i could land my first real and as soon the wind blew stronger i took the first wave i landed it easy . next day back i tried speedloops on planewater to show my friends. easyiest of all moves.
G'day Josep, This video is great. I did steps 1-2 in one session then steps 3-4 the next day. Progressing through the steps is really fast and it feels really safe. I am off to Coronation Beach in Western Australia next week to hopefully complete steps 5.... :)
