Great video Roland, he has an interesting style, flagging the sail, similar to wing foiling.
He's seems to be able to defy physics and kill power without it flagging downwind. When I flag, the clew swings out down wind.
I think it's 1) he rides a very flat sail and 2) he throws it back to his back hand. I've tried to do that and failed. (Not dissimilar to most of the foiling things I've tried.)
The video was actually from yesterday. Today the swell was considerably bigger. I took a beating.
The man definitely has his own style.Meanwhile we have had wind up in Oregon on the coast but I am wearing a
6-4 and have the gloves on
Thanks for posting the vid - stoked to see froth from other places 
Looks like you have a decent windswell build up on the Gulf.
Def an alternative method of downwinding - Casey on the Great Lakes also seemed to prefer that style (not sure if he's still windfoiling).
I've seen Thomas rip a few downwinders here doing the same thing, tho he tends to use bigger sails.

A characteristic of the North Wave is that it almost completely de-powers when off the wind or at least more so than any other wave sails I've used.

I do both those things but don't seem to be able to get the same effect lol
