Thanks to Alan for alerting to this one...great GoPro video of Sean Aiken sailing the Gorge (Stevenson)...includes footage of sailing away on a plane after looping. Enjoy...
Ralph, Check out this recent post for a great Gorge windsurfing video from spectator view: http://thewaterturtle.blogspot.com/2009/08/hardcore-windsurfing-videos.html
By the way, the other video link (http://thewaterturtle.blogspot.com/2009/08/hardcore-windsurfing-videos.html ) has Sean in it too. He's the one with the red sail.
This video is cool, but watching Sean live is like poetry in motion. He's got the best forward loops you've ever seen... perfect, clean rotation every time. Also, he's got a ton of different transitions that he makes look so easy...
You can tell when you watch him that he's actually planning the next 30-45 seconds before he even gets there...
i'd love to see the additional footage from a spectator. this guy is really something.

Not only is he silky smooth on the board, but amazing to bike with. Don't even try to keep up with him on the Post Canyon Trail. (downhill run)
ReplyDeleteGreat all-around guy
