Recently I had a conversation with someone who was frustrated with magazine covers and other promotional material using photographs of moves where the rider was clearly not going to land it.

Sometimes its obvious and sometimes it takes a keen eye to pick it. If you've seen a pic that falls into this category post it here and let the seabreeze community decide, "did he/she make it?"

here's a start:

that's actually a one handed flaka turned upside down using photoshop. No one could possibly do that in the waves except me.

didn't make it I say.
To high and not out in front of the wave enough.
And in the photo he already looks like he could be behind the wave a bit
If he did make it than that is amazing or it's the slowest moving wave in the world

The picture is fake.

No way could you do that with an Ezzy, they are too heavy.

Didn't make it.

No such thing as a one handed goiter and never will be as the rear hand is required to push the clew thru the wind and when the wind catches the rear of the sail it is that 'rip' on your back hand that completes the rotation.

(I think it was actually a mega powered waterstart gone wrong)

Odd...considering size for size an Ezzy panther is lighter than Pryde's premium wave sail, the Fly...or even the Zone. Or are you just generally taking the pi$@ :D
