Windsurfers Twilight Summer Series – Night 5 Results

At last a good breeze on a Thursday night and a good turn out Matteo, Kahoona, BGR, Paulie, Morgs, Retz, Decca, Rodman, Randall, Jitboater and George to name a few.   Pizza and Beer at La Porchetta’s afterwards went down very well indeed.

3 points Rainer for forward loops executed in his way as whirl of body, sail and board – should be called the Ray Spin.  Ray headed down to Pookipa thinking that would keep him out of the competition.  Doesn’t work Ray.

2 points Matteo the Italian Vulcan.  For non windsurfers a Vulcan is a transition trick whereby you do a small jump, in mid air rotate yourself and the board while holding the boom one-handed so that you land the board traveling backwards, then gybe the sail, switch your feet and sail away.  A busy gybe.

1 point Tony Prysten for attempting loops while not really airborne and loyalty of his family hanging around for Pizza.

-3 points Jon Embrey for culpable sailing in a dangerous manner to other sailboarders.  Continue reading
