A big Happy B'day to Mr Anthony Houston
We all hope you have a great trip.
For those that don't know; For years Anthony has been talking about being able to do loops before he turns into compost. It has been a long build up, he started his campaign back in the early 90's when he first started to talk up his windsurfing capabilities when he and Ken were seen jumping over 80 feet high at Cloudy Bay every weekend in constant 40 knot winds and 8-10 metre waves. After many years he soon realised his lack of ability was all that was holding him back. So, he has decided to put Jem Hall through the most painful experience of his life; listening to the decades of excuses old Houston has come up with for why he cant forward. Unfortunately Houston may leave out the part where he tells Jem that he never actually tried the rotation part or even the bit where you sheet in. Ah well! I'm sure Jems heard it all before from the retirees he gets going to Morroco this time of year.
Good luck and dont break yourself
Thanks Fos and Dave for those kind words...............come to think of it no one has ever spoken to me like that before
As for Buzzy well we al know he is a prick......bagging Ken and I out for doing 80foot jumps at Cloudy Bay.........what's wrong with you have you never done that before.
As for your looping advice it was a heap of crap anyway telling me to practice without my feet in the straps...............I asked Jem and he reckons ya full o sh%t
Good luck Anthony I look forward to the updates, photo sequenecss and video.
Great to see everyone getting behind you, mind you it means listening to you banging on about forwards for the next 30 years!
Morocco = Awesome. Didn't get to sail when I went. Let alone loop.
Just remember the only thing that has been holding you back is a lack of Kahunas!! - Like most of the rest of us.
Hopefully someone gets some video action of your first attempts, then the one you nail. Good luck and happy b'day!!
Houston, have a fun time, eat great food, see some amazing places, and get some sailing in. And do a loop if you want to. Come back with great stories. We don't have to believe half of them.
Congrats Ant for winning the random draw prize GPSTC now you can trash another lot of gear practicing your loops!!
