Ouch!! (More Pain)
You’re Freestyle World Champion. It’s the start of another busy season, this time, indoors. It’s the practice session & you’re up next.
You leave the start ramp, gather speed and hit the ramp. But then the board slips sideways, the rail of the board ramming into the fin slot and you rail ride up the ramp jamming your back foot in the process until you reach the end and catapult yourself plus kit into the water. Ouch!!
But don’t worry, Ricardo Campello is already back and was ready for business at the PWA Freestyle World Cup if the wind had played ball.
Thank you Skyeboy for answering the questions & queries over the last four weeks.
This month we head over to the world of slalom & speed. Forum readers - Pro racer, UK Slalom Champion & International Naish/Fanatic rider Dan Ellis is all yours!
Feed Your Soul was the follow up to Free Your Mind by Lars Petersen. It is a freestyle instructional DVD from the heli tack onwards plus action movies to inspire you to get out there!
We reviewed it about 12 months ago but now Lars Petersen has a new promotional trailer to get you back into sailing this summer and trying some freestyle.
The last throws of the winter swells were captured by Dave Horrocks on top of Hookipa Hill. Enjoy!

Gul competition Winner
Was it really that hard? We thought the ones with good eyesight would have spotted that Nik was still in the harness as he went up the ramp, ready for a…one-handed forward. In fact, amazingly, only two entries got it right and the winner that was pulled out of the bag is Mike Chapman.
Congratulations Mike who wins a Gul Delta Summer suit.
