Beat Nebbian's 35 knots on wave gear... well I'll settle for any gear. Might have to wait for Burrum next year.
Learn to Forward as before said.
Finally nail those elusive Push Tacks.
Try some Vulcans.
Learn to jump around the front like Dave M so I can get a decent powered up back winded tack, back winded gybe, and try a Cowboy and a Frisbee.
Learn to Duck Tack or more precisely the duck tack rig flip - the coolest way to get leeside.
Some sail tricks - vis Boomerang, Teletubby, Anklebiter.
Right now - get my Oops a Daisys working. (That's a fin first upwind 360 where the board only rotates 180)
All pretty simple stuff in the grand scheme of things, so NO EXCUSES. If I fail there is but one honourable course... kiting. Oh the ignominy of that.
Hey NotWal,
The 35 knots was on an old slalom board but yes it was a wave sail. Go deep and hang on
This season I plan on not being such a wussy blouse and actually going for a forward. Last season I tried it twice and got so scared before I'd even jumped that I chickened out as the fin left the water. Braaaaark buk buk.
tried doing it once halfway i slammed the mast on the side of the board and ripped the sail and messed up the board..what an expensive try..maybe i should get those giveaway type wave boards and don't worry about what breaks
.
