[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.

Forward Loop

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

Hey Harry,

thats a really nice action shot, nicely crisp, and to be honest, it looks like the guy is about to do a face-plant into the water :)
The note however explains it. Love the spray on the nose of the board, altogether a nice shot, and crisp too. Well done and TFS.

Well captured! You've very successfully frozen the action, while still giving it a feel of movement, with crisp focus on the board and sailor. Nice photo!

Great color saturation, details, POV, framing, and note. Well done Harry!!
Thanks for sharing,
Leanne

heb je erg mooi gedaan
500mm must be great but difficult
erg strakke scherpe foto
complimenten!

Another great action shot - sharp details, eye catching colours and the moment is captured perfectly - will the guy land perfectly or wipe-out, the question left in the viewers mind. Superb.
Thanks for sharing
