I can't because of kookness. That thing at 2:22 just blew my mind.

Looking at that i can recommend (by all means i am no expert but...) ease up on the karate, it looks brutal, spend more time on the water, get a JP radical quad and not be in Victoria. Find a location like that. and stay off the piss, it might help you focus on the job

it's because you haven't got a three baton sail.
everything else is in your favour...

Maybe I have to also get in the waves sometime.

I remember walking my kit down the beach at Hookipa and beside me was one of the Pritchards US3.
wave comes in as we are side by side, he drops his board onto wash and rides out.
Wow I think, then Backwash takes out my legs and under the sail I go and get washed down the beach.

I think I did my bit towards making Mr Pritchard look even more proffesional.

Is anyone else wondering whether the "thing" was intentional? I'm not sure, but I'll go for accidental.

For you old fu(ks out there, remember the "Endless Summer", and the "el rollo"? Pretty much the same thing, but with a sail attached, not sure if it was an accident or not, but if it wasn't, it might be called a face cheese roll, a cheese roll on the face of the wave. That's what I'd call it anyway, but I'm just some dude that's been around windsurfing, actively, for maybe a bit too long.
Noooooooooo! I didn't say that, I'm not done yet!
Too many waves, so little time. What? Again? Shut the fu(k up!!!! I slap myself.

I am 90% positive its face trim gone wrong with a great recovery - half grubby, half forward.

Wendell asked a question and got redthumbed? C'mon you mob jeez.
Answer or redthumb? Not a hard choice......


(back on topic and for the record though I say - an aerial into a deliberate a (flat rotated) forward like a cheeseroll / Cesare roll. Saw Phil Koster bust one out 20m from me on the same wave a couple seasons ago and it was insane to see. IMO it was executed better than in this video

he certainly dodged a bullet. Whether is was a sausage roll, a ham and cheese or custard roll, the bullet was dodged

you can see the clew get tagged off the top , which sheets the sail in , overpowers / handlebars him into a hangover ... different from an Ezzy deliberate 'hangover' ... it was no way deliberate ... (and not likely trying a random hangover on a good size section - seeing as he didnt risk any other moves like goiter / taka / wave3 at any other moments in his contest heats even though he can do them pretty consistant , he just racked the contest top to bottom points in the fickle breeze ... smart sailing )
