Someone posted something about the winsurfing DVD plug n play here over the winter. I bought it after reading the post. Even if you don't windsurf anymore, you should see this video. The new generation of windsurfers like Ricardo Compello and Jonas Cebellos are doing things that seem impossible. It's just the best wind sport video I have seen.
...and if they sold the soundtrack I would buy it today!

I have been blessed to sail with Ricardo Compello, every winter for the last few years, down in Margarita. I have seen the stuff he does in person, and can't belive my eyes! I have tried to catch some photos and video, but never timed it right, even missed a double loop he stuck perfectly, right in front of me! Too busy messing with the lens, and then frozen watching a double, off a little 2 ft wave, not more than a mast and a half away from me!! Those pros love to show off!
Every year for the last 4-5 years, I saw him and his buddies, always on the water, each and every season, for min. of 2-3 hrs a day, since he was just a little kid! (something like 190-230 days per year!) Just imagine how good you could get in a couple years! And he has! Simply amazing how he works the rig in the air!
Where can I get me a copy? Bestbuy or such?

I agree. Another DVD I've enjoyed is the San Francisco Chronicles. It has some cool POV video from Ian Boyd and Sierra Emory at Waddell. If you've ever wanted to visualize a forward loop this dvd is the ticket.

You can pick up a copy of Plug-n-Play from:

If it's windsurfing or kitesurfing they'll have it.

I was down in Bonaire 2 years ago and watched Tatti & Tonki Frans practice freestyle. I was amazed. They were doing loops on the flatwater Lac Bay is known for. Their loops were so fast you barely knew it was taking place unless you knew what you were looking at. They went on to become some of the best in Freestyle in the world within 1 year. I still try to be content working on my perfect jibe and maybe 3' of air off a 3' wave.
