73 Turning upwind: look upwind, chin on upwind shoulder, hands up the boom, rig downwind, body in Warrior upwind. This is not, lazily turning upwind and downwind, with your head wondering about. It needs to be a determined, focused, exaggerated action. Moving your hands hugely up and down the boom to enable you to throw your body into Warrior one way and then the other way, ‘chucking’ the rig the opposite way to counter balance. Turn the board up and downwind as much as is humanly possible! Turning upwind: look upwind, switch chin to front shoulder, both hands up the boom, rig downwind, body in Warrior upwind. uk WIND SURFING SURFIN G 73
