Location: Playa Chica/ El Médano
1 Sail halfwind and put the back
foot out of the strap. Search for a little chop, to help you.
2 Taking off, you lean your body backward,
pulling the board with the front foot (which is still in the strap).
3 As the board is in the air, you
use your front foot, to kick it into the new
direction. When the board rotates, your foot automatically moves out of
the strap.
4 Now it´s very important, to
get your bodyweight over
the board again. Use the lift of the sail.
5 After the landing, your board keeps
on sliding fin first. Give pressure on the mastfoot,
and use the rig, to keep balance.
6 The rest is standard: shift the
sail and go for the next move!

Very important:
try to get your body over your board, right before you touch down- if not,
you´ll get a wet ass.
