I dig it!
If/when I get to Cabarete, we can compare notes (or if you ever get to the Gorge) I really dig the DTL clew view. In the past I've found that view
not to my liking, but seeing your stuff, I'm going to reconsider.
Video on!
-Craig
p.s. also dug the no gear loop!

| Super video! Nice sailing skills too. I sailed at cabarete about 7 yrs ago in the summer. Waves weren't quite like that, but it was a good trip. I'd love to go back. |

Me either but with the 960p mode, it actually catches the whole rider with the board so we can see the body changing positions and I think it works quite well.
The more side the better because at the bottom turn we can have a glimpse of the wave's lip. Now I need to work on hitting later and later to "offer" the board's lull at the lip vertically and not just turn onto it.

That was a good laugh.

Summer waves are more like regular wind waves so it's quite onshore. We get our waves from big storms afar and generally early-mid summer is quieter even though the wind is at its strongest.
However, the less intimidating waves are good to practice jumps without having to worry about breaking gear.
A mini blog update: Today we had some gusty winds, in a 5-knot lull, I was able to jibe and grab one of the "bouquet final" waves, it was quite interesting riding with an empty sail and small board on such a large wave.
Look how glassy the water is:
From the flats, I estimated the waves to be around 2.5m maybe 3 while today's waves were nearly nonexistent and the forecast called for 1.3m/8s.

A few comments and a question:
1) First, awesome video!
2) Nice jibes. Great to see a sailor out there trying out everything and having a blast.
3) The no-equipment jump looks like you were shot out of a circus cannon.
4) Did you take a couple months of vacation, retire early, or just puch out of the grind for a while? ... As it seems like you have been non-stop sailing for weeks. |

Thank you, I do spend too much time (lots of sleepless nights) but it's my passion and I enjoy sharing it so long as others do too!
The no-gear loop was amazing, I had seen Tiki do that before, I'm not quite quite how he gets so much push to shoot up like this. I will ask him.
The wind is quite convenient here, it kicks in the afternoon so I save a 3-hr window between 3 and 6pm to sail and adjust depending on work/life. I am minutes away from the beach, I don't need to drive or rig, saves lots of time.
