Thank you very much for that
Very interesting watching his sail technique, he's really got it's use as a wing perfected.

Way Cool

I haven't watched the link as I'm on slowband so if I can't download it to watch later it sh!ts me IE youtube.

Interesting concept "how much fun can you have without real waves".

Now that I sail real DTL conditions most of the time, the bigger days are a pain sometimes. That is, it is hard to get out and one good wave is awesome but when it is mast hi and REALLY hollow with no channel to get out.... and it is 50m from shore.... it can be scary. Sometimes instead of one good wave in a sesh, and the rest of the time swimming just trying to get out (when it is big DTL)....sometimes you'd rather have a sail where you just pull big air lots and if you crash it doesn't matter. When it is big DTL for a few days you start to think that 30kn at crazy waves when it is 6ft faces is more fun. You get a better workout too cos u can sail for 2 or 3 hrs not 45min. And it is not a guaranteed busted mast when you have a minor stuffup!!!!!

Not when you have almost drowned... in a rip dragging you out and 15ft sets endlessly pushing u in.... so u go nowhere.....and your gear 200m away. Then you look forward to crahs n burn sailing where you can really go for sik sh!t and it doesn't matter if you prang.

Buuuuttttt I just realised how bad my post sounded.... like a guy who just won lotto saying "oh 2mil would have been better than 1mil". I do not regret living in one of the best locations on the planet. Not at all I just meant that now and then something different is kewwwl so I look forward to a sail at Crazies in winter each year

Looks just like Botany Bay in a 40 knot Southerly, er, expect for the, uh, guys doing the loops.
