We’ve been getting some amazing winds here in Sri Lanka at Kappalady lagoon and Vella Island.

Here are a couple of new tricks we’ve been working on.

Cathy’s Pop to Blind with Ole Downloop Transition and Toeside backroll

Cathy has been riding blind for a long time now but this transition out of it looks sweet. I need to get this one in the bag too.

Double Backroll to Toeside Downloop Transition

I saw Patrick doing something similar in Holbox, then saw Zac Andrews doing them here in Kappalady and figured that I needed to learn. Not perfect but getting there. Sticking a tailgrab on the invert should be nice and throwing my head and shoulders back further.

 

Backroll Nose Grab

Cathy manages this nicely on the 7m Rally, I try and get some better shots or video of this soon.

 

 

 

Beach Slide – Darkslide on the beach

Ok I’ve been darksliding for a while but this is the first time  over the sand. Inspired by Catching trade winds video and local rider Nalin. My lovely board stood up to the abuse but really didn’t deserve it.
