👍Those forward loops were very well shown and in perfect timing with the description.
Love it. good job mate. Everyone who can plane and chop hop should have a go at forward loops!
They are fully achievable... it's NOT about balls... it's about understanding the move and that is the thing that gives you the confidence!
🙏
Yes, Ben! Yes
Awesome job Graham. This is exactly the kind of coaching tips people are craving.
Great breakdown and a couple of “golden nuggets” in there to help people crack the move. I’m part of your coaching group so I’m familiar with your approach and it’s spot on 🤙. Great job 😃
Thanks!
Great explanation of the forward loop! Thank u Graham Ezzy 🙏🏽🤙🏽
My pleasure!
Thanks a lot, it's the second time I hear you talking about Fw Loops, and to me till now your advices are the first I keep in mind !
Thanks!
Top commentaries Graham. You really add something new to my collection of thoughts about the technique, and indeed your suggestions (besides Ben ones) make me try it soon. I'm a confident windsurfer but the FL always look to scary, too unknow for me. Thanks.
A lot of videos on the forward loop out there. I've seen them all. You have managed to add something new! Great job :-)
Colin "Whippy" Dixons "TWS Forward loop" and wave series is also really good.
And Ben Proffitts "Send It Academy" on the forward loop and the inspirational of "Emyr" sending it
: )
Remko de Weerd's video is hard to beat in my opinion. He makes it really accessible. And interestingly he also starts with a kind of jibe.
@@stauffap I watched that many times. It is great. Technology has improved, however, so that I find the contributions of Ezzy and Colin Whippy Dixon superior
Great video and wise words Graham, thanks bro
one of the best videos i have ever seen probably the best with really great advice... thanks Graham.
Thanks!
Thank you Graham! Best forward loop video I've seen so far! Aloha!
Thanks!
Awesome video Graham! Thank you!
Thank you, Graham, the "downwind 360" description is great! It makes it feel mentally more doable. I will be 47 this summer, I must do it before I am getting too old! Coming from an inland country, Hungary, I only got the chance in the last eight years to explore about waves and windsurfing on the Sea, living in Britain, although I have had to remain a "weekend warrior" (when not being the on-call doctor for the actual weekend as well) because of work and family commitments. However, I will do it. This year it is!
Happy to watch your progress!
53 this year want to do a forward before I die.
I think the biggest problem when it comes to getting over the fear is it feels like you're doing a catapult. When you learn to windsurf a big part is learning to not catapult. And now it's like we need to unlearn that...
A lot windsurfers can do the frontloop without a problem but a very view can explane how it really works. This is the best explanation i ever seen
Great video! A fascinating and addicting move which challenges us at all levels!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips! Definitely makes me want to try the move.
Go for it!
Best explanation ever. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks for your tips!! really cool!!
The Best explanation makes complete sense now.
Thanks!
Legendary work
Thanks!
super helpful! thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, excellent tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Go on Johan... just do it! You were part of the Moulay Magicks of 2014 after all! :-D
So , .......all these years .....m.mmm finally someone explains it properly......I'm an old school started wave sailing in 83 / 84 ... back helicopters easy ......forwards always elusive.......
Well Done👍🤙💪
Bellissimo!!!
A good way to learn indeed.
But disagree it is "only" a downwind 360, as this is in its nature more like a spinloop (and can sometimes look like a "Cheese Roll" Cesare made back in the days, but different as here you are backwinded for a while).
Whereas an endo where you go over the mast so it points down - are way more spectacular and difficult to land as you say, but looks and feel incredible.
Technique is almost the same though, you just change the rotation angle - and by pulling with your rear hand up (and in) while looking back and also a bit down, instead of only "in and looking back", can make it more of an endo loop.
In reality most forward loops are actually something in between the spinloop and the endo, whereas on flat water it is usally a more flat spinloop because you dont have height ;-)
Hi all, i enjoyed this breakdown and look forward (!) to trying to implement it.. can i ask that for future videos ( especially for those of us who dont live in idyllic Hawaiian cross shore conditions), can you add some tips that might get us through these manoeuvres in dead onshore conditions?. Bearing off and jumping downwind usually means going up the back of a wave which can kill speed and moemtum and timing, so how do i get a flick into a ' downwind 360 ' when jumping across the face of a breaking wave going out?
Great point about the onshore conditions. If the wind is straight onshore, it can be very tough to find a ramp. You can go over the back of the chop, like you say, but that has its own challenges. If there is at least some angle to the wind, you can find ramps that form as a kind of corner on the crest of a wave that is starting to break. You’re right that this is a good topic for a future video!
@@GrahamEzzy : can we use sail carry power as we hit the crops, I mean as soon as we jump on small wave and move mast to windward also tick the board to downwind, that moment the position is semi running position, the sail is full power of wind! As the sail has full power, the gear continues downwind position, we will be able to starting downwind 360! Is it work that way?
Your such a good teacher thanks so much.
Graham, first of all thx for a great video! I was looking some old forwards from the 90's and they were really making front flips rotating above the mast (almost vertically) instead around the mast (more of a horizontal rotation). I think they were calling them 'death' loops :) So thanks for explaining this a bit! I just have one question - here in Europe we mostly have small chop (< 1m) or windswell so you have to head in to the wind to take the jump. How can you then initiate the jump more downwind??
Hi Luka, yes, the killer loops of yesteryear were more flips. But they’ve gone out of style. In onshore winds with small waves, it can be hard to find the right ramp. You can try going over the back of the wave. Or, there can be moments where multiple pieces of chop converge and you get a ramp that forms on a more downwind angle. You have to pay a lot of attention to the surface of the water. I think this could be a video on its own! I’ll add it to my list.
Yes! If we have enough high wave that more down wind courses will work?! If only small wave or choppy conditions, we may have to keep the natural position and slide down wind, as soon as we find right chop and jump, then kick the board to down wind and starting rotation! Is it right?
Thank you for the great clip. One question please. I am doing forward loops port tack for over thirty years. I am doing them perfectly. I can do them everywhere even in 30 cm deep water. I am 50 now and as hard i try them on starboard tack i just cant find the way to do them . I really want to manage them before my windsurfing career ends.😀. Except for the excellent tips you gave is something else you can add?
Great question. What’s holding you back on starboard tack? Can you initiate the motion? Is it fear or technique? Are you trying them at the same spot but coming into the beach? Or at a different spot and going out?
@@GrahamEzzy
I think is more fear, i think also coordination doesn't work the same, maybe doing loops from the same tack over and over before start learning them from the opposite tack makes it more difficult.
Are you trying them at the same spot? If you are, then it is a very different mental picture than how you do port tack loops. I would then recommend training somewhere that mirrors the conditions you’re comfortable with-but with wind from the other side. Like Morocco maybe.
Probably your spot isn't conducive to them on that side along with your natural body spinning rotation. I have the same problem here. It feels like it's taking me longer to learn on port.
The way I'm doing them is by heading downwind (safer to fail) then crossing the sail over the board before sheeting in. Crossing the board with the sail creates a nice and easy to control rotation. I do it over the back of small swell or chop. Waterstarting with one foot in so almost!
If you have a hard time going for it just keep going downwind into a wymaroo. This will help you fall on your back and get more confident with your attempts.
Enjoy your quest!
Hello, i already saw people doing that really "vertically" forward or backward... what the name when it's really vertical ?
Hi Graham. Go back and have a look at 1990's/2000's forward looping. They are very different to what you are describing. I have been doing forward loops including almost landing a double forward loop, since the early 1990's and this is not how I do them. The one's I have always done are a forward flip where your board ends up above you as you go over and the exaggerated version was the end over where the mast was competely vertical as you rotated. Your style of 360 gives me another one to work on. Thanks
Where s the cesare s cheesroll?
Another video!
My tips for you: do not repeat and summerize opfront or after. It is very boring and tiering to listen to.
