Fully agreeing to the rest of the article I feel a little bit worried 'bout this one. Doing a "lay down jibe" on a wave face (with a fine waveboard, I asume) is one thing, but pushing a nearly 10' long and 5" thick toilet door through a choppy-water-turn with as much speed as you can is another thing ...
I think (my personal ideas, no flames please) that's the main difference between wavesailing, where you have to commit (right term ?) to wind and waves, compared to sailing a slalomboard, where you challenge the conditions, trying to press your manouevers against wind and waves (and opponents too) ...
