ha ha well those guys are all good so just get going in the waves anyway when you;re good and ready and be careful now matter where you sail! You should check out our new version of the BT - and funnily enough see another recently-injured pro demonstrate a good attitude to getting back out there! http://www.windsurfermag.com/boujmaa-guilloul-crash-triple-forward-loop.html

Hi
Fish,
Yeah
good point.Im thinking its the back arch thats the difference.Id
alwaysthought the wave 360 was on the wave and the GuScrew the same
rotation but in the air...so a Mutant must be...a GuScrew with back arch? I know
for sure Im never going to do any of em myself! Ill ask Mark Angulo and
see what he says...cant get a better judgment than that can
we?

Back to the Future
After the long drive...the reward. Wanna a close up of that board? Now I guess we can enjoy a debate on the difference between a Mutant and a 360? Answers on the comments below please. I caught this on film back in April...so what is it...Mutant or 360? An awesome coast-...

Hi
Steeve - thanks.
I
agree about the tourist resort places. I think only Club Med buy decent stuff.
Not good for the sports promotion and yes - someones ,issing a
deal!
Nearer
to home I really like the concept of the Windsurfing Gym that a few places at
homespots have too. A bit like the OTC with a membership. So you have
everything up-to-date on-demand at your spot. No need for a big car or van and
everyhting ready-rigged! Kind of interesting maths when you cost out a years
windsurfing expense and then compare with a monthy charge similar to a
gym...

On another point though, look around Drift Magazine and you'll see lots about 'Hulls' for surfing. I've been wondering if shorter displacement boards (As opposed to those crazy 80s Div II things) would be a good call for light wind wavesailing - perhaps better than a SUP sail or longboard wavesail? Same glide effect and reliance on momentum but shorter for different feeling turns? And, if planing's not an issue, as those fo us who've enjoyed some longboard wavesailing ands general longboard malarkey are used to, then could weight be less of an issue and these boards be sculpted from wood to prevent usage of toxic resins?

Yes.
In the PWA Tower Thijs is often called a Big Dutch Fuck or a giant baby cos
hes got no hair, and giggles and gurgles and looks like a cute
105kgnewborn. When he annoys the other Judges they jokingly shout Shut up
you Giant Dutch Baby Fuck at him. So maybe this move should be called the The
Big Dutch Fuck - so BDF? And if Thijs himself is the first to land it
ever or whenver he triesone it can be called the Giant Dutch Baby Fuck -
GDBF.
