Easy for these videos to slip through but if anyone hasn't sat through a freestyle video in the last few months this one has some good moves. Looks like it's all from one day too.



Next time someone on the beach tells you you need more batten tension, direct them to how Amado sets his rig up..

Not too many double rotations out there landed dry, let alone off chop!

I got to say that I'm not that into freestyle, apart from the occasional hand drag, but that was really impressive

Barn that gif almost crashed my computer. What is crazy is that the double air culo is basically a double loop off chop on the other side of the sail!

it's all happening so fast it's hard to tell, 4:37 looks like he's on the way to a triple?

Awesome freestyle, the kids definitely got talent.

BUT I think the reason he is so good is because he's on the water all day to get away from the sh@t house music, I wanted to poke a pencil through my ear drum in case I accidently ever herd that rubbish ever again by mistake.

Why do freestyle sailors have such bad taste in music?

The video is by a guy called Kuma... In don't think Amado choose the music or had much to do with the edit!

IMHO it was all downhill since this masterpiece.. Produced, performed, directed, sung by albentley



I recall there's been a few Nickleback'ed videos from local wave sailors on here! So it's not just the freestylers

The videos are produced by a part time West Aussie/Japanese windsurfer called Kiyo (top bloke). His trade mark/business name is Kuma Movie. I think Kuma is actually the name of the toy Bear (its a Japanese thing). He has been spending the last few years following the top freestylers around the world filming them purely out of the love he has for the sport. He makes no money out of these videos and he freely gives them away. Most of the guys down at Safety Bay where he lives during summer always get copies for free. He creates all his own music using some sort of computer software because of the legalities involved in using commercial music. He films so much that it works out easier to create his own music rather than go through all the hassles of getting permission from the record companies. He is a very humble and generous person so I reckon we just look past the music (if it not to your liking) and just appreciate the fantastic footage.

Great Video, he really is very talented. I really like the way he uses the power in the sail to drive the rotations.

I'd struggle to carry the board and rig down the stairs and up the path without falling over or damaging something

If you told me a few years back that I'd see a double loop (of any sort) on flat water I'd have laughed and called u crazy.
Wow.
