that was a great display.

one-handed table tops, push loops, double one-and-a-half loops. the cojones on that guy! he kept at it!

lots were landed - surely not on their first day attempting them?

in that first still was the guy on our right on crutches?

I think a lot of the sailors could already loop, but the aim was to get the loops as high as possible, therefore the title of the video being "Get High or Die".

I think it's inspirational as so many were literally "Going for broke" in their attempts.
Just shows what peer pressure can bring to a sailing session.

Cheers

The thing that never shows in any video is the weightlessness. I certainly claim no expertise but the few times I've gone hit a ramp in the surf the gut dropping seconds of weightlessness come as bit of a surprise. In retrospect I am just stupid. That is all.

Yeah - Johnny Cash with distortion!

great clip - the dude doing doubles is being trashed - more guts than me - peer pressure gets the testosterone a goin'
