The worn and flaking gold paint adds character.

i guess it does look pretty worn in, kinda cool though, like boba fett. so awesome to see it making the rounds and the sharing of the stoke flame.

Way to go Rika, great to see. Also you and Janet adding some gender balance too can't hurt or those guys just turn into burrito dribbling animals down there

Rumour has it, Janetfish is planning on hucking a forward loop first thing today. Perhaps on her first reach out, or at least after a few shots of some courageous liquid (fireball)

Pictures or it didn't happen! (Of the fireball, not the loop)

Update:
The Helmet made it back to Canada and showed up at Nitinaht lake last weekend for a day of perfect 4.7 conditions. Inspiring Many. The small ramps and chop made it hard to want to pull the trigger and loop, but one windsurfer showed no fear. With his multiple back loop attempts Windsurf247 takes the golden prize and wore it with pride as he got back out on the water and attempted a few more! $\:D/$

I hope it doesn't melt in PA!

Well, the back loop bug has hit PA. I had the pleasure of passing on the Golden Helmet to PA Mike last weekend at Nimpkish.

I sail with Mike a lot in PA and he's a solid sailor eventually nailing most things he tries. I had no idea he was working on back loops until he hucked one right in front of me off a sweet big ramp at Nimpkish

Apparently, he'd been trying them for the previous few days.

With his persistence and determination, I'm sure he'll be landing them in no time. Way to go Mike
