duck gibing?

[fooey]

Will there be a portion in the technique section which will teach the more free style types of windsurfing in future?

While waiting for bluefinz, pictures & videos can take you a long way:

as Ulf points out there is no lack of technique pics on freestyle BUT its mostly esoteric stuff thats beyond us mere mortals. What I do plan to write up is how to do a chop hop..this seems to be the most requested topic for sailors approaching intermediate standard. I'll test my crackpot theories on a few guinea pigs and if they work out we might put something together. meanwhile as Ulf says, enjoy the jaw dropping videos.

considering the kinds of winds we have in sg we'll never be able to practice till we reach those standards... at least not in sg... while those moves are godly i still think we can incorporate those techniques/moves    to make our windsurfing more enjoyable...
I love this website!

If you look at the videos at http://www.ebrowines.com/windsurfingvids.html, there are plenty of stuff for normal mortals to learn (pretty good and 'instructive' videos of duck/power jibes, tacks, etc).
