Well, I think it's cool. I liked the jump-around-the-sail thingy; that was slick. You could totally do an "ankle biter": you throw the sail kinda like a boomarang, but instead make it rotate to windward, so that you have to jump over the mast as it rotates around the tail of the board, then (hopefully) fills with air and comes back to you as it finishes the rotation. _________________ Kansas City |

yes your right, the most tricks are very easy to learn, two hours of practice and you can do a lot, i've tried a few more anklebiters where you throw the sail with the clew in front and not with the mast, but i couldnt stand them they are really hard |

There's a much more advanced vid floating around on Utube about a guy in maybe Bonaire doing must more rad and quicker faster more stylish tricks with a Go board and in 10" of water. Check it out, if you can find it.
And he does it while sailors are planing in the background. |

Lee did you see the two links I posted above? That's the guy (Caesar Finies). He's in Bonaire. He works one of the gear rental shops (called Jibe City) Whenever he takes a break he hops out and puts on a show for five minutes, then goes back to helping people with gear. _________________ Michael

Original Windsurfer = best freestyle board EVER! I always have to scratch my head a little when I see folks unsuccessfully trying to learn basic sail flips on 120 ltr boards in sub-planing conditions. |

Look at the Bonaire vid.
Nobody can come close with a Windsurfer, not even the Star. |
