Hey! Houston - SHOW US THE FOOTAGE!

CGI may be painstaking work, but you must have managed to make that woman look something like you by now... adding a three day growth would convince most reasonably observant people...

Clarky, I'm not posting the footage til I get a commitment from a few lilly livered sailors in the south.......................Fluro, Brettski, Jez.........come on if I can do it you can do it...............it's not that hard, it doesn't hurt.........................you commit I'll post the video.

Look for a knee to waste high wave, back hand right down the boom, bear off, pop the board, throw the sail forward, look back, sheet in.....................as you'll see on the footage it ain't hard.......................it's all about technique.....................of course I must thank my coaches: Simon Hanson, Buzzy, Geared4knots, Clarky, Felix Jason and Jem Hall.................and last but not least Greenie cos he gave me the sh.ts so much I went to Mexico to be trained by an international coach

So the real question is will Fluro, Brettski and Jez come out of the closet and take up the challenge

Knee to waist high wave with 4,7 to 5.0 meter wind could be along wait down south , anyway didn't Ant tear a ligament doing loop , safer to enlarge the closet and ask Fos in

I'll try for it this season, no guarantees though, apparently it's such an easy move its just the head thing gets in the way. Maybe it's wise old owl kicks in and doesn't want any injuries to wreck summer.

I think I will continue to refine the Rock Lobster, maybe try for a bit more height and movement of the arms. I am also working on a new move called the Jellyfish which requires a focus on minimal physical activity, its like Buddhism..... but with more beer.

A little known fact is the Colledge of Orthopaedic Surgeons invented the windsurfing loop manoeuvres along with other extreme sport jumping and aerial tricks

But you learned to loop back in the Eighties... that's a really long time ago ......Stuff was different back then ......Nicole would drop the half pipe on her BMX....







though Randy does seem like a great "roll" model.

Flouro, Brettski, Jez...the ball is in your court... Clearly you guys are the reason that we are not laughing at footage, so step...up and over.

Kaz - Do it, throw down the gauntlet! The male ego is far too fragile to cope with any suggestion of inferiority. If you go over, they will follow...(Bahhhh).

its a looping epidemic.
best order in another 20 booms, spare boards and sails.
sail repairs up 40 % this season for loopers only.
Looping is very very very dangerous and expensive.

"Insane forwards just can't get enough of sensation , slide back hand back and jump, pull back leg under backside , sheet in and throw body weight forward, keep sheeted in at all times and watch for landing over back shoulder "
Sean Ordonez Rave VHS 1996
Fixed tracking on VCR and watch it 5 times all fired up for this old school move

Well, there's a whole lot of TALK. Is it just a whole lot of HOT AIR - Let's see..............

Maybe aspirants should have a bet - who gets around first - make it interesting. Houston should be in too, since we all know he is a one-hit-wonder. Besides, if he is that cocky and confident he should be prepared to put more in the kitty than anyone else...yes?

Who wold be in the ring?

From the SOUTH -
Ant
Jez
Flouro
Buzzy
Kazza
FoS
Flouro
...

From the NORTH -
Luka
Cookie - (long odds, given his evident commitment to refining the Rock Lobster)
Gil
Murphy

Are there any Bookies out there willing to offer odds?

Start today, downwind hops at Dorans, then go for it.
You just wont be able to get enough of the sensation.
Usually the best time to bail is in the 3rd sequence!!!!

Simon billings is se\lling some cheap Exocets, 68 78 and 88. $200-300 , great flat water loop learning boards
smash em up while you learn to loop.
Save the good $3000 board to be pristine with a perfect nose on it while you continually rotate in front of your friends with your new skill.
Meanwhile the board you purchased for $200 is totally smashed to pieces from your numerous and inevitable high speed, neck twisting, back distorting violent smashes

Forward loops, You wont get enough of the sensation

Not sure but.....you need to have a youtube or Vimeo account and then load the video there first, then just copy and paste the address bar bit from YouTube/Vimeo onto your seabreeze post.
