POV Windsurfing video in Maui

Post by winddoctor »

Some good headcam video of what it's like to throw vulcans, spocks, and huck loops. The last loop is a T-Bone; a switch-stance forward landing in a clew first position. Easy. :shock:

Excellent footage. Thanks for the link Winddoc....it's a 40MB file for anyone with a slow connection.

Now I'm stoked to get on the water. I can totally see myself doing some of that stuff - especially the hand drag on the wave sequence. I think with enough commitment that's totally doable, for me.

That's the best virtual reality sailing I've seen yet. Who wants to go to long beach next weekend after that? Yes please!

Once I played it (streaming/choppy) I was able to go to the top arrow pull down the File>Save As in Windows Media Player. But I did stream it first then I saved it.

Thermals are good.
