It’s been 11 years since we launched the Sexyloops App. The only people who made money out of that were the developers, Apple, Google and the cameraman/editor. And when the software needed updating, to fit with Apple’s constant changes, the new development costs became prohibitive. So we put it all up on Vimeo first and then, when we ran out of space there, to YouTube. If you purchased the original app you can contact me and download all the original files in HD for free.
Be that as it may, 11 years is a long time and I really want to bring things up to date. So I’ve uploaded a new introduction video to begin things explaining why, as well as how to use the collection. As I progress through the video library, I will add numerous drills and exercises for each task, as well as explain how and why my teaching has changed. No doubt I’ll do this again in another ten years. God knows what I’ll look like then. Gandalf probably.
One thing I realised when I started my Zoom coaching during the pandemic, particularly after having some triathlon swim coaching, was just how few drills and exercises we have in flycasting. My online video conference coaching is now full of them. It’s truly revolutionised my coaching and my students’ training. I have drills for everything and if I don’t then I invent one. It’s very entertaining actually.
The sound quality should be better on these videos, now that I have a Bluetooth headset and the GoPro 12 pairs to this device. *
We are building Sexyloops rods again! Woohoo. Finally. It’s going to take us a little while to get fully up to speed. If anything is going to make me organised, it’s organising stock for rod building. I was hoping my wife was going to take on this role but sensibly she has declined :))) Damn!! My answer to this will be to hold far more components in stock than we can ever conceivably need, so that way we never run out!
Ok now I’ve done this I can go fishing.
Have a great week.
Cheers, Paul
*edit: hmmm. Spoke too soon. The introduction to tackle dropped sound. I'll film that again later!
