Yes??? How about HELL YES!!!
And one handed, nutter! Such a great feeling when done and in control (semi). Well done boys in a reserve.

Yep that's how you make big boards go fast, get them out of the water. You only need to just keep the fin wet

Thats some HOT Board control !! Lightning fast reflexes........ Right on the edge of disaster.

You don't need a speed board now Oldskool? Fly, what you have.

Its a great feeling. I get it on my SBUS147 but I don't/can't maintain it for long as i don't want to crash.
Flying on a small board like that is experienced less often

^^ Have had my AHD 149 n 54cm + fins on the fin. Stuck it a few times. Even had my Speed RB n 39cm flying the fin. The most level longest flight ive had. Close to 50m. Mostly it ends up with my 105kg going skyward as i lose control. Quickly followed by a huge body slam as im catapulted at the water bloody hard.
That vid is AWESOME. Love where he is just hanging on to it, his ass beneath the board as it is railing to the MAX. NOW THATS SAILIN!!!

Sooo cool in slo mo .
Wonder if that can be done with a powerbox ?

My Speed RB has US Box.... 39cm fin.

The boy can gybe.

I thought I could see the fin at the surface in some of the video, so how does the fin not spin out or is the fin still in the water.

Have a look at his Gybe and feet positioning!

Sadly, the sail rotation was more interesting for me

Something about rocks under water maybe?

Sweeeet techneeeek

Even more fun in rolling wind swell!

I can only dream of gybing like that.
And so much for getting low - some of the time he's below the level of the deck!

I'd love to be able to sail like that!
