i found the trick was to lift back foot up to nosedive the board. that spins you around
this my take on the flaka

bear off wind almost dead down wind
bend knees rake sail back this digs leeward rail in to get pop
then staight legs thow sail forward, more at nose of board than into wind [should b airbornenow]
lift up back foot to realy dig nose in
the rest is history

whenever i start stuffing them up i go back to raking the sail back harder, thats where the momentum starts

good luck

Hi Guys,

Just having a look at my board setup at the moment and want to set it up for freestyle, i'm looking particularly at the footstraps at the moment and at present i have my straps smack in the middle of all the holes with a single strap at the back but for freestyle where does everyone else have their straps, i was thinking about moving them as far forwards and inboard as they would possibly go, is this a good idea?

Also how big should the straps be? alot of eopl say massive but how big is too big / dangerous before your feet can get stuck into them and lead to broken ankles?

know somwone if there freestyle contests in west australia?
i will arrive end of march in perth and will stay over 2 years in australia. when there are freestyle contests i will try my luck.

and what are you say about lancelin for freestyle. is there a bit of flatwater or only wave?

WindsurfingWA are looking at running a few freestyle comps next season. For now we are just running a few practice sessions to encourage everyone and help them improve. The more people who bring their awesome flatwater skills in from over seas the better!

Lancelin does have some nice flat water for freestyle. Also try Cervantes for the flat water and strong winds.

Hey guys!

Whose going for a sail today then?

I was gonna head down to WSP and pickup the new fin from Alex and then head somewhere for a sail afterwards, is anyone else going for a sail near WSP?
