Two weeks in a row I've missed a wave sesh that the other guys caught. Last week Peconic Jeff and the Wolf caught it, and now I hear from CD and Jon that the gang caught it good yesterday.
Damn damn damn I hate missing the waves.
Jon told me that P-Jeff has impressively been going for back loops off of the waves. Jeff tells me that he's not going for anything...he's just charging the waves like a madman, and coming to his senses at apogee has found himself in rotation. I've felt the board's desire to backflip myself at the top of some jumps when I've hit the wave late and into the wind, and since hearing from Jeff on his technique I've been imagining my first back loop. Here's the video that I'm studying today...later this week I hope to be reunited with my copy of Peter Hart's "Serious About Waves" to see what he says on the matter.
Mike,
The Wolf and Jon got another sesh @ Ponquogue, I took 35 minutes of video,no loops,but good sailing non the less!
Be well,
CD
