FREESTYLE windsurfing TECHNIQUE:
eSlider Diablo

By Mattia Pedrani I-00

This a fun little trick to do during those lighter wind relaxed summertime sessions, when the wind peaks at around 15 knots. Power moves pretty much go out-of-the-picture, since the wind's not generating enough lift to allow you to spin around like crazy, and that’s when you start revisiting the older school moves and spicing them up a little.

Yep, you got that right. Old School. I mean yeah, it is a switch move, and it’s still pretty technical, but with the new wave of powermoves, the whole discipline has shifted lightyears ahead, thus making these types of moves Old School. In PWA terms that is! My general rule of thumb is, “When you can’t go big - get technical!
