It's a great feeling isn't it!
I also like the xclear lens covers if your gopro gets too much water drops/salt on the lens.

It's an amazing feeling, I've been working on my port gybes to improve the session flow, so much fun in light winds.

Thanks for the tip.

Woop Woop Woop! Right on mate! Your flight time is radically on the rise now!
I used a tip that I think I got from WhiteofHeart and it really helped me smooth out my foot work. When ever I had a minute or two at home I would set the board on something soft and just do the foot switch over and over again. Instead of holding the boom I had a drink in my hand.
Anyway Congrats on your progression and thanks for sharing!

Those jibes look very smooth to me.

Thanks. Yeah that's a good tip about the footwork practice, Initially I was stepping on or in front of the foot strap when I just needed a little sliiide into it.
