Pepe is a veeeerrryyy positive person. Much fun to watch his joy. Legend indeed!
For me it took about 10 years. I started before you could get tips and instructions in TH-cam clips (2003)
And also I had horrible instructors. So for ten years I was trying and then backing off it. But as Pepe proved- it is simple and can be achieved in a week.
Here are my tips:
1. Learn how to sheet in hard- because the forward loop is a sail trick- it’s a catapult- and what makes you rotate is sheeting in hard with the sail. Release the tension from your forward hand and relax it- kinda letting the sail go away but still holding the boom, and pull the back hand hard- get the boom to your chest. I saw videos of people learning it on the sand with a finless board and a smaller sail- getting the rotation on the sand. You can also practice the rotation and getting its feeling while in the straps but not planning- rotating slowly into the water (kinda half way)
2. You need to learn to surf downwind unhooked of the harness yet with good power in your sail and execute a decent jump downwind (then comes the rotation). If you won’t go downwind, it will be more difficult to rotate.
3. Enlarge your foot straps that your feet will go all the way in- otherwise you will be thrown of them.
4. Also try to get your back leg bent- heel to your ass- this keeps you more compact during the rotation, and prevents you to get fired off your board.
5. After you jump downwind try to be with your body over the board- kinda but leaning forward- many guys along with the sheeting in lean backwards and can’t get the rotation. Sheet in hard- but also lean a bit forward- be over the board.
6. I learned it in a lake. I think the best place to learn it is in the ocean with ramps and side shore wind.
That’s about all the tips I can give.
Same as you, I taught myself way before videos. Can't tell you how many times I fell on the mast (20 stitches one time) because I didn't understand about turning downwind or reaching back. Anyway, I'm beyond that now. One thing I remember trying that actually messed me up in the long run was trying them on long boards or on the beach. It messed me up because tucking your feet is so important. When you practice on the beach or off a long board you have a tendency to straighten your legs while jumping. Bad habit.
Very usefull, thanks for the footstraps to enlarge... great stuff
Love this !!!! I started windsurfing when I was 10, I'm 48 and I promised I will get a forward loop before I hit 50!!!!!!!!!!
same as you, 49 now, this afternoon I'll go for it. I had an ankle injury that took me years out of the water...
pepe for president!

Inspiring, plenty of joyness, nice common sense following the right coaches, and capacity to break fears and face the new challenges with passion and technique. I wouldn´t expect less from one of my best friends. I love you! Legend! ;)
This must be the best forward learning video out there, the guy is so positive and makes such unbelievable progress it's infectious - and there's the key to learning forwards... Be positive, don't let go, break the mental barrier and build from there!!
Pepe should have his own Channel.

enhorabuena Pepe. yo sigo soñando. A ver si lo consigo con mis 50 tacos.
No me suena esto pepe! Jakakak me da que la tabla queda en el lugar (me salgo de los footstraps), luego me quedo agarrado a la botavara y roto con el aparejo y, por ende, caigo de lleno con la cabeza y espalda encima de la tabla que quedó sin haber rotado conmigo….
When was this clinic??? I’m in Langebaan and have been here for 4 days.
it was in February 2019
1) Where is this spot.
2) When do you do the clinic
It's Cape Town.. a few different spots in the video (mainly Sunset.. Melkbos) We do the clinics in End of jan and Feb. In 2020 we have 3 week-long clinics.. but all are sold out.
Well here's some technique tips, paste and glue! : th-cam.com/video/H3Fxddps0mQ/w-d-xo.html
