Looks like Italian freestyler Mattia Pedrani has created a new move. Its basically a bob and a clew first willy skipper combined.
Mattia: “Necessity is the mother of invention. So what do you do when you’re bored cause the wind is too light to go for big tricks…well, you improvise. That’s what this is. Mix a Bob and a Clew First willy skipper and that’s what you get. The BRAND NEW BOBBY SKIPPER. I had this idea by myself, I started trying it from scratch, crashed the first 8 times and then got it on film. So I claim it as mine. For sure some smartass is gonna pop up sayin his cousin did it planing 10 years ago, but I don’t really care…whatever, keep talkin, just like Germany is doin with Balotelli =).”

He is extremely professional, dedicated to perfection and performance and at the same time very easy to talk to.
