I'm trying to learn the language and decipher meanings of swell, tides and wind direction - please be patient.

.....was a professional dancer who was able to combine a leap in the air with single and double pirouettes and time it so that the air expelled by the wave caught under her skirt and ballooned it out - this meant that the weaker waves held her in place longer than usual at the apex of her leap and the strongest ones lifted her higher. The number of rotations she could get from the strongest waves was mindblowing.

For this one you need to post in the kitesurfing forum

I'm keeping my eye on my local beachie for the right conditions.

I wonder if a Tutu will work?

I'll look pretty good dancing up and down the beach jumping in the air waiting to be lifted by the waves.

Do you think it would work better if I reduce my weight by not wearing anything other than the tutu?

Surely any weight reduction would be an advantage.
Perhaps if you paired up with a buddy and skipped holding hands along the shoreline
this would double your chances of some airtime!

Anywhere from Secrets to Madora on about a 2meter swell, look for where wave lines on sand are furtherest towards dunes and hang around for sets. Be sure to follow safe landing proceders while up there.

try city beach or floreat beach for shore dumpers

Yes, I considered that. 2 x "Buddies" in the nude except for Tutu's dancing on the beach holding hands. The 'lift' from the waves would feel great, maybe tingly as well!

Lucky I live on the Gold Coast, that kind of thing would hardly raise an eyelid around here.

Standard fare at the Ally

Very interesting, not sure I'd want to try jumping over a head high wave breaking in a couple of centimetres of water, could get very uncomfortable, especially in a skirt!

A lot of us have launched in shorebreaks, not that I've ever done it in more than waist high, but can't say I've noticed any updraft when the wave breaks.
You'd think this would be noticeable on the rig.

Does wind direction/strength have any bearing?
Off shore certainly creates an updraft on unbroken waves, but can't see the wave breaking increasing that???

Just go vist any metro overcrowded beach break. full of pros . "moses rock" take your camera down there thats were you want to be in big swell !

I just can't see how any meaningful force could be applied to a skirt without it collapsing upwards.

I usually find it is really hard to get them to blow upwards.
Willing it to happen seems to not work
We need a subway system.

This is where she starts sh!tting herself...

Not at all. She is just about to levitate right out of trouble.

If only she had a tutu

Would have been a sandy tutu after that.

Have we had any progress on this subject Missellie?
Do you still check out this site?
All this and more will be revealed on The One
