Fantastic Erik ! Seriously, I could never hope to sail anything like that!
It would be great to see a longer edit showing the set up to these tricks, how far it takes you to get to speed, and how you sail out of them.
I must be old fashioned, I like this on surf vids too, seeing how surfers position themselves for take off, not just a series of '''off the wall" manoeuvres.
I get that its not as captivating for most though, high lights package always better for the young "uns !

Thanks my man! Really appreciate the feedback, and I totally agree; you can't study the moves in full without seeing the setup. Anyone who's trying / doing moves knows that getting the takeoff right is the key to a good landing. But in terms of casual viewing you really have to be a windsurf enthusiast to enjoy that type of stuff!
Rapid fire off the wall is what I'm shooting for, mainly because of the attention span of the average youtube viewer right now. You loose the intensity for a hot second and they're on to the next video!

Cool vid. And good to see so many people back on the water after lockdown.
Can I ask what size freestyle board you went for with this new one, and what weight you are?

Good to hear that you liked it!
Ignite 93. I've always been on the 88s, 91s, and 93s so it wasn't a hard call to make. I weigh around 165lbs. My biggest sail is the Echo 4.8.
