I just got this new board, the instructions say:

"This thing is a front looping MACHINE, it is designed specifically to front loop. My grandmother, who has never sailed before, could front loop this. When you pack it away in your garage, and turn your back, it starts front looping all on its own. Even when you try to back loop, it front loops. If you can't front-loop this thing, you need to GIVE UP!!!"

Sounds pretty cool huh?
