so what moves are you guys working on at the moment
Or plan to work on this summer. For me it's the water start

Tidying up my top and bottom turns - bottom ones mostly..
Jibes on my little gear (kinda related to the bottom turns I guess!)
and planning to get stuck into loops (okay cheese rolls to start with) this season..

Go the waterstart.. it's a key move - once you have that sorted, the world of windsurfing will open right up for you!

Here is winter now... but when I resume, it's gonna be simply tacks on my 100l.

I thought I could tack and gybe well until I went to a comp 2 months ago. One of them had incredibly fast and precise tacks. I want that.

(On big boards in lesser winds: riding the rail whilst facing the wind, with the board backwards.)

For me its not so much moves, but moving at 40kts, at times it feels impossible to go that fast You have runs where you are at the limit of everything that's humanly possible within yourself, it feels like 50kts, you look down at your GPS and see 37kts, and think how the hell can I extract another 3 kts The difference between 35 and 37 seems huge, so how does one go another 3kts faster?? It's my goal so will not rest for the nexst few years chasing it down, though I may have to accept defeat, if I can't get there Might eventually go back to focus on wavesailing again.

36NM - Ouch! FEEL THE BURN.

40knots is easier..

Having fun not hurting myself (to much)

Other than that,
Staying dry when I gybe
40kn on the dial
36kn Nm

The reason i get up in the morning, eat, breath and generally live.

Is to chase that bloody red furry muppet

If i catch him, i must be going pretty fast

As a wise man once said....

"You only have to wait for the gybe" mission accomplished

The "move" I think about most, is moving closer to the water.

Maybe I'll hang around Decrep's place and when he goes out, I will move in claiming squatters rights, then I will NEVER move BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH


Only jokin

Hopefully there will be some wind this summer so I can go sailing. I'd like to use my smaller board more, do screaming broad reaches and go for carve gybes .

-Sailing coastal locations instead of the river
- Waterstarts
- Gybes
- Bump Jumping
- Maybe beginner mush wave riding

-Quit my job and work on the internet, somehow.

-Recently got the heli tacks, duck gybes, sailing backwinded, nose-sink tacks and sailing backwards happening on a big board...now to try them on a smaller one!

-tacking and gybing in waves/big chop without stuffing up...nah...well maybe someday

gonna try to pick up chicks without using rehipnol

eyeM - have you met Smooch before? Think you'd get on tops!

Also, think Rad Lad is being more Hardcore then you

Rohypnol is the name on the pack I use. You must be using some dodgy fake stuff from overseas

Last year i broke the hr this year i want to do it inside 50mins

doing the downunde series in the laser,

Say hi to Ash Brunning for me (Dean)

Yeah agree with the 'moving down a board size' got the board in my avatar that needs a good sail, when comfy with waterstarts and enough wind, its coming out to play

Getting more verticle

I prefer Barb's but the dosage can be hard to get right
