Deathly afraid of doing my first Spin-loop

Deathly afraid of doing my first Spin-loop

Post by christoff kande » Thu, 03 Oct 1996 04:00:00


Hello, I have a big problem; I finally wanna do my first Spin-loop but I'm
really afraid; I hate the thought of letting me fall forward, head first.
Everytime when I jump, I think i'm gonna doing it, but then it's allready too
late; whats even worse now, that i'm really blocked, sometimes I don't get
even my board out of the water, because I know that if I'm doing a good Jump,
I have to do a Spin.
Do I need a psycologist or is there another way of getting step by step to do
it?

My problem is that I don't get air often enough to try. When I do
get to jump, I'm so buisy practicing control in the air and
landing, and trying to get maximum air to think of looping.

Take off!!
Let's see some fin!!

Remember your first catapault?  Did it hurt?  Well if it didn't, don't
worry too much because effectively, that is the same kind of hurt you
will feel in such a loop.

Wearing a helmet is  a good idea as the possibility of bursting an
eardrum is quite high.  There are very good psychologicalk and technique
primers  for looping on the Web.  Do a  search at any of the Windsurfing
Web pages with good links

Bolt on your helmet and rib protection and go for it. You'll be surprised
how much braver you are when dressed for the occasion.
