Peter,
Without steps 2 and 6, I call this move a dunky jibe. It is being performed
at 3rd by a number of people.

Today I invented my first new move... I'm pretty darn sure no one has done
this one before:

1. Carve into a gybe and duck the sail as if doing a normal duck jibe

2. instead of throwing the clew back behind you as you carve through the
turn, throw it straight toward your face so that the batten end hits you in
the center of the forehead

3. keep carving as the rig bounces off your face and falls back toward the
water... this will put you downswind of the sail.

4. In an effort to prevent further injury (or insult), push the sail down
into the wind as it tries to tackle you... you are now sailing clew first
and
backwinded

5. tack step around the front of the rig while holding the boom (no sail
flip) and you come out sailing normally 180 degrees from your original
direction

6. Utter the word 'ouch'

I think I will call the move, "The Red Badge of Courage," since it should
leave a little red bindi mark on your forehead if you do it with gusto. I
just wanted to get this move documented in the public realm ASAP so that
Josh
Stone cannot come out later claiming he invented it and then name it after
some alien race.

Peter
