Aerial:
this is where you hit the breaking section of
a wave with plenty of speed and get thrown in
front. |
|

Air:
can be used with the superlatives ‘big’, ‘sick’, ‘monster’, ‘tweaked’ and
if you’re a chick sailor, ‘nice’ and ‘lovely’ and
is used to describe a jump or an aerial. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
All-rounder:
good at everything, but not excellent at one
thing, unless your name is Bjorn Dunkerbeck or
Antoine Albeau then you are excellent at everything.
Sometimes a way for a sailor to get around his
poor competition results by saying, “Problem
is, I’m sort of an all rounder” which
actually means, “I’m crap at everything” |
|
 |

All-time:
describes a very pleasing windsurf session. “It
was all-time” |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Animal:
no, not a pro sailor at the end of a heavy night,
but a clothing company made famous from watchstraps. |

Amazing:
the freestyle whizkids adaptation of windsurfing.
Oh and the definition of BoardseekerMag. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Awesome: “That
was most awesome dude!” is said to describe
something that was above excellent. |

Backside
Riding:
I thought this was a windsurfing magazine?
Sorry, backside riding is riding a wave with
your back facing the wave. Usually performed
when the wind is cross on or bang onshore. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Back
Loop: as opposite
to a front loop and one of the hardest moves
to master properly. Its all about height, control,
strength with a bit of arrrrghhh followed by
a blimey. |

Ballistic:
incredible windy and wavey conditions usually
found the day before a national championships.
Or what a parent does when he has just found
out his son lost his wave heat. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Blasting:
windsurfing in a straight line as fast as possible. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Boards:
UK’s first windsurfing magazine that helped
define the sport, a good read. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
BoardseekerMag:
the newest and best windsurfing mag, redefining
the sport, a better read. (What do you mean I
am biased?) |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Bottom
Turn: maybe
this is not a windsurfing magazine? But I know
a bottom turn as turning in front of the wave
before riding back up it and smacking the lip.
You will have to wait till the S-U section to
find out what that means. |
|
 |
|

Broken:
windsurfing speak for deep down, miserable, gut
wrenching, consuming depression. Can be applied
to losing a competition, girlfriend/boyfriend,
doughnut, mast extension or anything of any value.
Also use the expression if you have been trying
a move for donkey’s years and still cannot
do it. If you are fully broken, then things couldn’t
get much worse. |

Busted/Busting:
to throw a move. To practice using this word
in a sentence repeat, “I busted out a sick
aerial maaan”. Now you will be so cool. |

Carnage:
lots of people on the water getting in each others
way especially at gybe marks. Or the last hour
of a windsurfing party. |
|

|
| |

Talma? |

Cheese
Roll: usually
the cheapest sandwich on offer at a service station.
Or a variation of the forward loop often performed
by old school sailors. |

accomplished through video trickery. |

Chicks:
A fairly complementary term about the fairer
sex especially if accompanied by the word ‘hot’. |
|
 |
|
| |
|
|

|
| |
|
|

|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Chips
and Drinks:
a relatively new term thanks to the band, The
Streets. When before you said, fancy a pint,
now you simple say, “Chips and Drinks?” |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Choppy:
what we get most days sailing in the UK. Not
flat, not wavey, just plain choppy making blasting
and freestyle difficult. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Chopping:
a forearm strengthening exercise. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Cool:
windsurfing as opposed to kitesurfing. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Cooke:
A derogatory name for someone, often used in
the surfing world. For example, dragging your
surfboard leash over the ground and then tripping
over it, dropping in on people out in the waves
or trying to paddle out at JAWS is all Cooke
like behaviour. Can be spelt with a K. |
