The man who's just achieved the 'impossible' of a push loop into front loop, Brazilian rider Kauli Seadi, talks us through the move, one that marks without any doubt a new era of windsurfing.
"So basically, this move was finally nailed... Many sailors have thought about the move without managing to accomplish it. I have seen video footage of Ricardo Campello trying it once in Lanazarote and it looked insane, so I always felt like trying but was afraid. This summer I started riding motocross and I realized that the risk for us windsurfers to get hurt is much smaller as we fall on the water... Then I came to Maui, for a few days there was just jumping going on so I decided to try something new... I set that move as my target !!!
