^^^^ Sailing next to Philip last summer was an eye opener. His crash tolerance is phenomenally high, the stuff he went for off the lip in dumpy mast high, over 3ft deep reef, was insane. ....... awesome to watch
Very cool indeed. He seams to ride the wave as if he were riding a skate board. Also good to see a vid with the elite performing unplanned dismounts or half forward loops.
Thanks for posting
keep 'em coming, we need more inspirational vids to get us through the off season
He seemed most at home in Gnarloo and Pozo. The one handed goiters were special and his aerial work on the wave is top level. I prefer not to see the tail broken out so much, but he is ripping.
If they run the Red Bull Storm Chase again, they need him to be on it.
I think the last stalled double forward was landed, he was just falling about 20m out of the sky and he weighs 95kg's so bound to sink just a little.
Over 40? I landed my first back loop at 42. I know a lot of over 40 years olds the absolutely rip and do most of the stuff the young guys do, that's why windsurfing is an awesome "extreme" style sport, once you get the technique down even big wavesailing crashes don't hurt much, I would rather bail a big sketchy loop attempt than catapulting race gear at speed any day of the week.
