Friday, November 21, 2003 :::
 My name is megastir and It’s been 3 weeks since I last looped.
Looping for me became a problem in 1985 when I saw an issue of the old windsurf magazine with this guy from Maui throwing one of the first documented back loops on a windsurfer.
I was hooked immediately, soon I found myself on an extended Hawaiian sojourn.
I know, I know some people can loop once and stop at that. But me, I have a problem. Once I tried my first loop I quickly became a binge looper. Back loops, push loops, loops off the lip, Gu screws, forward loops and finally forward loops off the lip. Pretty soon I was looping every time I went out.
It cost me relationships, friends, countless dollars and broken equipment. I feel lucky to be alive considering the punishment I’ve endured. That’s why I’ve come here to Loopers anonymous. I accepted I have a problem, some say that’s the first step. I have hit rock bottom, metaphorically and figuratively, breaking my spirit and my new Rainbow wave fin on my last attempt. I need help.
Hopefully with the grace of God and the onset of winter I will conquer this problem. Dr Phil says in order to change your life for the better and quit a bad habit you can’t simply quit the old behaviour unless you replace it with something new.
Thus I have taken up snowboarding with a vengeance its good clean fun and hopefully I will not be tempted to invert aerials.
Three weeks sober
