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 !!!
I tried one day at Camp One, going through the movements in my head and then I went to Lanes where there are a little bigger waves and I landed 2 on the same day !!!
I'm super happy because that opens a whole new window for new jump moves on waves!!! Combinations of different rotations looks so cool... Push into forward loop... I will call it the Seadimove and I hope it will go down in windsurf history
