now i can do a few sketchy freestyle moves on my board just wondering what people have on a dinghy.

we all know the handstand but it just doesnt look that cool

i used to get my crew to stand on my shoulders, or the backflip of the wire.

anyone got any good ideas

tempting off the b14.  see what happens. halyard swinging on a yacht is fun. or kite jumping.

may try to floorboard next time i go down wind on oxygen

Mark bouncing. 

Fly a hull close to a mark, at the right time, crew unhocks and lands on top of said mark.  Extra points for staying put - soft marks only!

Crew flying.

Sail two largish cats close together.  Crew of leeward boat graps trap handle of windward boat.  Crew of LW then hooks onto this trap too.  Boats sail slightly apart (be V careful), crew of leeward boat fly's! Much care must be taken by both to ensure WW does not capsize onto LW, and LW does not roll into windward and hit WW.

Water Skiing / Wake boarding

Attach water Ski line to rear beam just before it is attached to hulls.  Water Ski behind.  Dagger board may be used if not other board available.

Nose stands

Sail along and drive the nose under.  Skill factor points for how long rudders are out of the water / distance travelled / depth of bow under water.

Whirlies

1, Sailing in strong wind, bows go under
2, crew goes around the fore stay
3, steps onto leeward bow/midships
4, unhooks
5, Returns to windward side and hooks back on

Note, steps 1 and 2 usually happen by accident

Steps 3 -5 usually do not happen

Tail stands

Trapeze from back beam, Highest bow wins

Leeward hull flying

Both out on wire in no wind, very difficult!

Tail stand is easy if your fat

if you roll on to your back you will skim back up to the boat, I saw someone else do it and they almost got back in without capsizing. whilst belly dragging you can keep the boat upright by surfing left or right to balance the rig. just needs some practice on the transition from being dragged to getting back on board.

we are going to try wakeboarding behind oxygen next month, thinking of doing a rib start and just pointing her down wind and popping the A4, 

should only need about 15 knots of breeze to do about 13- 14 knots so just get the rib up to speed, and hop off the size.

may be fitting a dolphin striker to the pole as well, so some "pole danceing" may be in order.

Don't forget the physics lesson the Phantom taught you. Two poles replel and all that, as you seemed to run straight out the back, with a deft leap over the transom bar

Tom I can't find it now but their is a great picture of senior Bolland doing the 300 toe surf .. I'll keep digging.

Not forgetting the (now made famous by Big Wave Dave) the starfish transfer when climbing back into the 300 over the wing!

By far my most memorable / frequent though is the Mast Hug. Nice reach .. wave .. not enough tiller movement and SLAM boat stops you slide not so gracefully down the wing into the mast

with a laser you can lift the rig out and sail it like a windsurfer, but it is risky for damage to the deck.

the other trick was mast climbing to see if you could reach the top of the mast before it capsizes it is possible. often done as a competion without the sail on when there wasn't any wind.
