Thumbs Up

I filmed this a few years ago, Bubble is literally one of the best flat water loopers in the world.. Reckons it just clicked one day and he could do them perfect ever since..

This one is no where near the best one he has done, not too windy, maybe 5.3ish weather.. But I have watched it a million times.. The biggest tip I got from Bubble is to sheet in hard on landing, this brings the board down flat.. And of course the scissor action of the board downwind.. Also note the jump off the back of the chop, upwind is for suckers.. And all the regulars, like tucking up and monster reach with the back hand..

But yeah, the big tip is to sheet in on landings, so often you see people land back spash with no power in the rig.. When a big pump of the sail will touch the nose down for a dry landing..

My gift for this summer.. (I'm sitting on scaffolding, total control, but scary close)
**Edit, this uploaded in pretty bad quality, won't be as helpful sorry..



And fwds are not just for posing, I sail a lot by myself and I find myself busting 3 a run, 300m off shore.. Best move ever..
