Whaddayamean Gestalt - you can ballroom dance on one of those formula boards so I don't think a bit of freestyling would be out of the question.

PS - anyone got evidence of someone looping a formula board (I recall seeing a sequence of someone looping a mistral equipe longboard)

I think Patrice Belboech looped one of the Kona longboards.

recliffe is not tide affected which is a big plus. i might wait to see where the wind comes from.

going to make a move around 11-12, providing there is atleast some wind.
Redcliff sounds like the go, very shallow there to isnt it?

yeah im up for it, had a little session at queens beach today dam push tacks cant get my head around them. Might head back there on sunday???

Yeah! I'd pay to see that ( Gesty looping his formula board that is )
Adrian used to do helitacks on his formula gear with a 10m race sail. And he used to back loop it at the Goldie.... True (except the bit about the back loops)

Im good for queens, unless anyone can suggest a spot. Stopped at sandgate on my way home to watch all the kite surfers 30+ . does anyone ever sail there becuase that would be a awesome spot.
Had a good little session at south queens, was only out 50 mtrs as it was pretty flat and shallow, trying to flip the rig,heli tacks, nose sinks, board 360's, push tack ( ankle smashers ) etc etc. Its all good fun, would be good to have someone down there that can actually do this stuff, have to keep running back to the van and consulting my tricktionary book.

As i dont have a job yet im pretty good for monday too

ps, anyone need an electrician??
