[cabes14]

el premio a la perseverancia.... para el cameraman ja ja

[ebbow01]

Just wanted to sell my helmet at ebay - this video made up my mind!

[F388949]

a nice windsurfing story, bravo for your your perseverance and fun ! for me the forward loop is also the holy grail itself, but I do not often have the conditions to even try. So far I just piled up some respectable wipeouts so far, but I won't give up, and will follow your example ;-)

[saltinbanquis]

Congratulations!!!

Where is that location?? Looks like a perfect place to start practising!! :)

[jer28002]

[derDevil1122]

[johan293]

Hahaha.. this is awesome! Coming from racing, I've decided that I need to learn a couple of tricks too in order to impress my friends. After watching this, I think I'll be practicing the forward loop far out on the sea;)

[xellyxbellyx]

:/ 1. big big sail

2. not enough speed

[DJclaytown]

Well done. I've punished myself so many times trying a front loop that I stopped trying. This guy has inspired me to try again! 2010 the year of the front loop.

[brandnewvideoz]

Love this vid mate!

I got to try it next time (hopefully tomorrow...)

NO FEAR!!!

just a question: How many (wind) days did u spend to learn it? I mean form the first attempt to the complete loop...

[benelli]

Great ! i love this vid ! Viva el toro !

[fugazimark]

awesome vid. that guy is 60? just shows we should all be trying them..ive just started to land a few and I've realised its 90% mental..

[stressmatic]

That end over was awesome!! wish we had swell like that where i sail!

[MrMiggel]

Sorry uncle sem,

but I've got to try it.

Ghaa, the movie is funny!

[thomasrdotorg]

I've been looping for 17 years and it's still as abig a thrill to throw one today as it was back then.

One definate hint: get that front arm straighter and get closer to the boom. But then you are rolling out end-overs now, so who cares- you rule!

[dabradybunch]

Absolutely brilliant! One of the most inspiring loop videos around - that's it I'm off to have a go now!

[TPAKReynolds]

Clive - I hit the wrong button and only gave you a 1 star! Useless boy! Really enjoyed it - almost tempted! Have a great 2009 and see you in Jeri!

[sussexsounds]

No yet! but I sure hope I will be (surfing when I'm silver that is, I'm not actually hoping to be silver! Lol).

[sussexsounds]

Well done Clive, great job and congratulations! I will celebrate my 1st anniversary of the forward loop tomorrow!!

[cliveboden]

are you a silver surfer

[rednemesisdog]

'be the loop' - merry christmas Clive

[Ezzyse]

It was filmed in Jericoacoara Brazil over the past couple of years.

[allafleche]

This place looks just fantastic.

[KodMN]

Priceless!

Where/when was it filmed? Seems like a great spot for first-time loopers.

[smileymyley]

Great video Clive. Los huevos del toro!

[RDGodding]

Nice one Clive-I was feeling your pain with your first attempts.Brilliant film showing that determination pays off- Love that endo at the end!

[Ezzyse]

Lost in admiration.........now about that Vulcan!

[alisonmit]

Lucky chap to have such a patient camaraman, or woman.

[jemhallcoach]

awesome - clive, i am so proud, what an awesome improvement and all from getting that rig forwards and across.

you the man - ok, get pulling that trigger the rest of you. Jem

[allafleche]

Funny vid!

But you're actually trying to do a cheeseroll wich is more difficult than a forward loop.
