[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First I would like to thank everyone for taken a look at and those who did write a comment to one of my previous uploads.
Much appreciated.

Did take this shot at the Waddenzee near a small place called Lauwersoog in the North part of the Netherlands.
There also was the Nikon TC17E II converter attached between camera and lens.
ISO setting at 400.

It's called a Forward Loop and is performed by a Dutch guy named Eddie van Valen.

Historically the aesthetics of flipping is a universal theme found in art and athletics. Representing the symbolic circle and the essence of control and rebirth; no wonder a great many sailors want to learn this power maneuver. You can also loop! The technical aspect is fairly easy because it is a maneuver where you stay in the straps and you do not perform any fancy sail magicry; you just hang on to the booms and let the rig do all the work. However, the psychological barrier is a mountain you must climb. Face your fear! Get out of your head! Learning this move is extremely rewarding and opens up a new dimension in your sailing.

Kindest regards, Harry
