Flat water, a bit of wind and a Carbon Art/KA Sail combo
No music , no distractions and 1 minute of you're life that you don't get back.
Enjoy

I like the way you look at the clew of your sail and pull in your back hand as you initiate your turn. I find if I do this, everything else falls into place.

When you go for distance do you make your jibes wider?

Looks great !
No way I could do that but I'm fine tuning my gybes and I'm at the stage of trying to drop the rig forward and keep that front arm straight..

Not as good as what I would have done.

Never underestimate the comedic value of a mid gybe face plant

I love it when a lay down comes together ,the sail just feels weight less ,good timing on when to bring the sail up and around ,I've been stuck a few times ......,,great conditions ..and smoking speed.. a 10 out of 10 for that one kato.
