Help please. Although I have not booked the surgery yet to remove that bit of grey matter that gets slightly concerned about self preservation when the board speed is at a level where the water becomes hard when you hit it, I can feel myself slowly falling into the abyss of the dark side of speed.
I have read that Fat=Fast, so it would appear I potential to be world class; I am just missing the fast part of the equation. My problem is my gybes. I cannot keep enough speed through the turn to keep on the plane. I am looking for some instructional DVD's so I can just review my footwork and technique. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what is good and where to find it?

Thanks for the info, I had a look at the website, it looks the goods! If someone has an old copy they want to sell let me know before I splash out on a new one.

Gybing is for those who can't water start

Ask someone who is good at gybing to give you a lesson. So much better than watching a video. A video can't watch you and tell you what you are doing wrong.

Decrepit, I am not sure you have thought this through... With members of the Mandurah Mob acting as gybe markers we may soon see the demise of the entire team within a session! Standing in front of 120 kgs of poorly controlled flabby bits at 30 knots is not for the sane or faint hearted

Thanks for the help - I have ordered the DVD so here is hoping that this coupled with running over Mandurah Mob members acting as gybe markers gets the results I want. Even if it doesnt running over Decrepit still sounds like fun
