As far as this loop goes, the take off was ok, an ideal wave, and despite the fact that I made a couple of glaring errors the actual rotation was perfect. Shame I went a little too far and smashed my face!

The obvious errors were not moving my back hand further down the boom on or just before take off and not looking over my back shoulder. Both actions would have actually increased the rotation, nit necessarily something I needed her, but it may also have allowed me to extend the front arm a bit and to move away from the rig a little so that I wasn’t so close to in on landing / impact.

It’s all well and good pointing these things out now, but in the heat of the moment it’s just a case of plucking up the courage and the throwing myself into it and hoping for the best.

Liesa Smith Ouch, how was it down there?

Lauren Bambi March God what happened?

Alan Cole LOL, just me and my never-ending attempts at forward loops whilst windsurfing. Went too far around today and got a face full of boom! It’s beginning to hurt now that I’m warming up as well.

Anna Cole Don’t give him too much sympathy! If he wore his helmet with face guard he wouldn’t have hurt himself!

Thomas Powell loving the go pro vids mate,,must have been mental out there today

Andy Reed Excellent, and a good session too by the looks of it.
