Download Movie: Serious About Waves #3 - Learn to Loop Part 2

The forward loop – it’s the daddy of all moves! To do one grants you immediate super-hero status on your local patch. But it is, of course, insanely difficult, wildly dangerous and should only be attempted by adolescents or those with a hefty life insurance. Perhaps. Perhaps not … In what is surely the most ambitious windsurfing project ever, coaching legend Peter Hart, very ably abetted by looping aficionado John ‘the Rock’ Hibbard takes 7 ‘normal’ windsurfers spanning all ages, sexes, backgrounds and body shapes to Fuerteventura with the sole aim of getting them to do it. What started out as a week-long project spanned months and even years and turned into a compelling, fascinating, informative and often hilarious epic. Throughout the journey the loop is broken into minute detail. There are literally hundreds of training tips and exercises. But most importantly they explore what it is that makes you suddenly decide to pull the trigger and throw yourself over the handlebars. Most of Learn to Loop was filmed during the PWA SuperX and freestyle World Cup, where packs of the sport’s idols are on hand to encourage, perform and tell their own looping stories. Stunning demonstrations, horrible crashes, tears, laughter, this is a must-see, real life drama of the highest quality. Did the looping hopefuls make it? There’s only one way to find out.
