The last 10 seconds of this drone footage from 2021 NAC, is a lesson in controlled big air, downwind sailing from Brad and Lee. Everyone should note where they have the boom/mainsheet , the amount of pre-bend in the mast (despite the force from the chute at top of mast) and how stable their platform is. I love that Lee is looking back and then looking forward under the chute as if it is just another day at the office and his job is to look for puffs and lay lines!

It was definitely a day for the scrapbook.....and I only wish it could have gone on longer.

Nope. This move in skate boarding is seriously hard to do. For this former professional skateboarder, roll gybes in the Viper are a walk in the park.

Is this another much loved Viperer that I spotted in an online image? (on a website nothing to do with Viper sailing!)

What a "rocker"!
