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

Message 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? Brian

Message 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... Thanks for reading Brian

TypePad HTML Email Hi Marcos, Yeah great news. PWA dont get enough credit for hard work during tough times. Watch this space for Tenerife though. Read this in latest (August) Windsurfer International mag about what might be on-the-cards after good work by local organiser for Spanish Cup at Medano http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/46f9b869#/46f9b869/86 Roll on November like you say, by then we might have seen Reunion, Sylt and Kiltmoller hopefully all firing!

Right that's it. I'm off to the Timber merchants for some Iroko... 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?

Message 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.
