laser tacking fun

[MiLLz]

Windsurfing on the transom was fun but I am ready for the next crazy thing to do on my laser. I have heard stories of tacking and running around the mast in medium winds / gybing while standing on the transom in light winds, etc. Any tips / new suggestions before I give either of these a shot?

Do all of the above, but with the rudder up.

whew! sounds dangerous... I have never tried sailing with the rudder up. I saw someone sail without a rudder it and the boat just kept turning in high speed circles until the rescue boat came and saved him.
