absolutely made my day that last 1! what a classic! its going to take some time before i loose the smile on my face..well done elmo and possibly the most fitting background music ever !
ps that underhand grip at the gybe is the key to your muppet successs!!
this is why I dont come to Hardies anymore .... my kookness and gybing style has rubbed off on you Elmo.
PS: with the amount of time your spending in the water, you need to invest in some rainex for your lens
Was great to meet you the other day Elmo! Nice vidz there, I especially like the music to the first one.
Lao my usual technique is front arm under, close eyes, throw sail vigorously, jump into opposite straps and hope the sail arrives in the right spot . Really fast gybes are a game of chance for me
Snake, try switching front hand to over, just before you gybe, It improved my gybes when I did that.
Mmmmm,
with the number of helmet cams out there now, I see a whole new web site being created. (Don't forget to attach it properly, there's already 1 GoPro hero at the bottom of the Indian Ocean)
I'd call it the Muppet show, but I think it might be taken
Great stuff Elmo.
Just wish we had those conditions, long runs, flat and shallow water and consistent wind that doesnt go from 5 to 30 knots in 5 metrer wide bands.
Just wait until Chris and I unleash our soon to be patented chop killer!!!!!!!
Pat Pending
The fish eye lense covers a multitude of sins
Some of that chop is getting over 12" high on a really bad day out in the middle it can get to just over knee high
Here's the latest installment
Cavitated the fin @36knots yesterday, one happy little muppet
Good run til the fin let go, should have done what you did and taken the small board out of the bag, but was too tin fruited by then and would have probably bunged it, if I had.
See you next visit.
Love it Elmo, one of ya best mate I can so empathise with you, in fact if not for the gaylord gloves I could swear it was me
Don't knock the gaylord gloves, I very much appreciated them yesterday as I didn't hit the speed run till after I'd racked up 90km's already
Masturbation is no longer classed as S&M thanks to the gloves
Great videos Elmo, thanks for sharing those with us. For all of the crashes at least you could have been able to sail afterwards
Regarding clarity of the videos, Youtube have changed something.
Down the bottom right hand corner of the screen there is an arrow pointing up, click on that the select the HQ button from the list.
The vid should now come out in the same clarity it went in
Wonderful videos, Elmo. This view is what's missing from "The Windsurfing Movie", as good as it is. Have the directors approached you yet for their sequel?
Might have to change the G rating, however.
Stick with the 5.8 mate it will blow the hell out of your RS4 every time.
Liked the vid potty boy(spinouts are an experience not a travesty).
Remember to do your zipper up when out in public!
Eh Elmo, I just realised that you had that post on seabreeze
That was great, I had such a good time viewing everything, great job... I love your laugh when Joe fail in the gybe, I love your last fail in last vid, so cool.
Thanks for the good time and keep the good work
Elmo, those words you utter when the fin lets go, is that a muppet dialect??
I always thought it was "windsurfer speak", I do it all the time.
