Yeah, the Shifty 720° is here. The Swiss freestyle sailor Balz Müller is working on the future of freestyle windsurfing… Amazing combo, not perfectly landed yet, but we are looking forward to see it soon…
Balz: “The Shifty is an Air Shaka into Push loop, frontside cork 720 like in snowboarding!”

sick crash!
[…] mischen / lockern die Windsurfwelt mit ihrer unerschrockenen Art so richtig geil auf. Nachdem der Shyfty Siebner auf continentseven der absolute Renner war (44 Kommentar und auf Facebook ein Dauerbrenner) folgt […]
if he tried to land it as a backloop he could have done it. This is awsome!
I think in 14 days c7 will publish:
“Shifty, by Philip K.” 🙂
i think it is one of the greatest moves ive seen . it doesnt look like a meaningless crash , you can see him going for it ! when i watch this vid (and i did like a million time) i see the new and crazy style of tricks that are going to be born and the next few years , as mentioned earlyer , i want to see a cork 1080 already ! balz is the man and who ever thinks its just a crash then go ahead and film it so you can see how diffrent yours from… Read more »
It seems that some participants are in need of some scientific clarifications 😉 please do not take this too serious! What matters are two things: (1) what specific trick he intended to do and (2) whether he was able to land the specific trick which he intended to do. Concerning (2): if someone intends to do a trick and fails to land that trick it is called a “crashed something”: a “crashed Shifty”, a “crashed Air Shaka”, etc. There can be no disagreement whatsoever about whether this clip shows a crash or not. The disagreement can only turn on what… Read more »
First of all: GET A LIFE DUDE! 😉 Second of all: In Windsurfing we say something is a 720 when someone rotated 720° from launching the jump to its landing. Like a the Flaka 720 whch is a Flaka with an additional 360 slide. So in total 720° were rotated. Having definded this lets talk about the “shifty 720”. I’m pretty certain that he actually does 2 rotations, if you watch carefully. He initiates the shaka by rotating into the wind, then the sail catches the pressure from the other side and forces him to keep rotating kind of sideways… Read more »
You are right in pointing out the impossibility to land a 360. I also did not mention that in the clip, he rotates 540, not 360. My boss has fired me as a windsurfing tutor even before you wrote. Hope this is good news for all of us. I will now get a life and a new job.
Maaaaddd move! Why not name it “Shifty HD” (720) once someone land the 1080 version we call it “Shifty Full HD” :-). Seriously how have the “right” to name a move? I guess no one, the people decide what they like most for whatever reasons.
