I clicked the helmet camera and got a pretty good view of Kanaha from above! Figured I would share the feeling as if you were sitting on my shoulders for a pretty decent back loop! A lot of people tell me they can do back loops and not forward loops.... I always tell them I have broken my ankles 3 times from backloops and not once from a Forward. If you think about it, as soon as you reach the apex of your backloop you turn around and suddenly all your weight and all that power are going down FAST!!! Gravity can hurt and suddenly you find yourself landing on top of your gear with full power!! It can really hurt. The forward loop on the other hand is quite safe, if you commit with at least 90% intensity, you get even a 1\/4 of the way around and all you land in is water and not right on top of your gear......How many times have you been catapulted locked in to your harness and smashed into your boom\/mast or sail?? The forward loop is way more fun than that and with some good instruction and some guts, you can be doing them in no time! See you out there.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/53201450?byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;badge=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/53201450\">Back Loop View<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user5257116\">Pritchard Windsurfing<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw this ramp the other day as I was teaching some jibing and couldn&#8217;t resist it&#8230;.
