Progress is Being made:
It looks like I am able to take off more downwind, don't need as much ramp, and there is less cheese.

If anyone has any other suggestions I would be happy to hear them.

No Sorry I wish it was me though. The link should be good now.

You made #3 just fine! It looks like you're just a hair off with the coordination of the jump and initiating the loop. It also looks like you're looping a pretty big board (~120 litres ), which slows things down a little. Just keep doing what you're doing; you're right on track. _________________ Kansas City |

All you need to do is remove the "Feet not in straps" title from #3, then you can claim it . But seriously, that looks like nice progress, and #3 counts. I think they'll get cleaner if you keep doing them.
Only thing that comes to mind is trying to move the back hand back even further to get a bit more whip. But it's a bit hard to see how far your hand is back in the video; your grip seems quite wide already. Maybe you just need a little more wind! |

Actually it is 100L board.
Re: reaching back more. I will try reaching back more but, but I feel like it is harder for me to move the rig forward if I reach a long way. Maybe this is just an excuse for not liking being so powered up when I unhook. |

I would not worry about unhooking. You have enough to think about with trying to get the board to pop and coordinate that with initiating the forward. I almost always unhook automatically when I forward, but I never intentionally unhook, since it gives me more control with the sail. I think your rear hand position is OK, but it doesn’t hurt to move it back even more. You’re doing a really good job of getting the boom over your head after you pop the board and before you initiate: that’s sorta hard to do. Just gotta get numbers, since that board is plenty small enough to whip around.
No excuses! (like work….or family….or prior commitments) _________________ Kansas City |

Your back leg is extended instead of pulling right up under your butt after pop and imitation. If you did that I think the board would rotate much better.
Spin loop on flat water looks pretty hard a little better pop would also help.
Your doing the hard part already, %90 there great job! |

#4 is fast tracking toward the grubby! |
Cheers Kevin
All the help is appreciated. |
