Great clip!!thanks for the link. It brings the following to mind.
Most windsurf videos we watch show pro sailers land wicked trick after wicked trick, that fact of the matter is these guys stack alll the time. This is because they are trying to improve. Soooo, my point is if your not crashing your not trying hard enough. And that guy who sails all afternoon and doen't get his hair wet is a tosser, and someone should tell him that a square run and a jibe is not a trick/maneuver/move.

Youre not wrong Boardboy, but some of us just get off on being on the water cruising and soaking up those negative ions and just feeling good. Sailing is an escape, a low pressure deal. Tricks are for ambitious young dudes with lots of pain killing testosterone who want to impress girls, and old dudes looking for a reason to live. (I'm one of the latter)

Trust me, for some of us a square run and a dry gybe is most definitely a manouver that is difficult to master...
