Sweet riding. Tunes reminded me of song in final scenes in That's It That's All..
Some local wa footage in there too :)
Nice hat
What is this new trend with the snowboard bindings? I've seen a few dudes riding with them lately, does it bring a plus?
Cheers guys! Dunno what you're talking about Default... no WA footage in there as far as I'm aware 
.
The bindings are actually the Hyperlite System wakeboard bindings, although they are almost identical to snow bindings they are optimised to work in the water. I think they are sick for kiting because they are easy to get in and out and most iportantly for me the back of the binding itself stays stiff forever, which is what I hate about conventional bindings (they get floppy).
p.s.
Dunno what happened with my first post or this post, but everytime I post it all the sentences that were spaced apart end up back together again... any ideas anyone? (Laurie)

around 2:24 there is a place that must look identical to the pond :)
Rowdy, Default is correct 35 seconds off pond footage. Axis Trang looks good , I have Axis Utra lw and 140 and 132 Limited sweet tts this year
Nah I think he's mistaken It's some place on the east coast at the sunshine coast.
Are they all made to ordered or do you have stock anywhere that we can have a look?
I'm getting close to needing a new board
With the hyperlites can you see them being an issue if needing to do a deep water pack down and swim in?
looking smooth rowdy.
maybe it's my old bung eyes, or maybe it's the angle of the shoot, but the board looks pretty flat between the feet.
how much rocker does it have, and is it continuous?
Cheers fellas!
Any shop that stocks axis should have them in stock. The size is 141 x 43 but the billy pro and bootleg are basically the same board for smaller riders. Where are you located?
The board has continuous rocker line at 5.5cm.
Nice! First video I've watched through in a while. What's one of these things worth?

RRP AUD$699 incl GST deck and 18mm finset, or were you asking about the cost of the video? ;)
Looks awesome Adrian,
Where in Brisbane can you have a look at one of these, I was at kitepower the other day and they were saying that the bootleg are extremely hard to get a hold of right now, i can imagine the same would be true for the tranq? What lead times are you looking at?

Hi Greggor,
We have stock of both in our Asia warehouse and our US warehouse. I know Surf FX ordered quite a few and Kitepower SYD has stock. Not sure Kitepower QLD ordered any so far?
$699 incl gst 
, or not much if you're talking about the video as you might have guessed I did it myself.

No problem at all. Same as with snowboard bindings getting rid of them is way faster than getting in which is good from a safety point of view. They work well with the Axis boards but don't quite work too well with a few other brands.
They are a bit of a pain in the ass to swim in, but if you need to deep water pack down you can just remove them from feet and strap them to board for the swim in. I like the idea in them that you can have a couple of boards if you have two sets of those binding bases and swap as need be for conditions without tools, or swap with mates etc, use one board between a few people (more for riding on boat). and as rowdy said boot stays stiff and doesnt become floppy over time.
I have no idea what was happening but it all looked pretty smooth to me. When are you doing another wave video?
What happened to all the other good kiters in Oz? Are you the only guy still kiting from back in the day? Good to see you kept at it.
I hope to get another wave vid out soon, maybe try and do something a bit better this time, not sure when though... Could be when I'm in Morocco .
As for the "other guys" most of them just got sick of it or moved on to other things I guess, lot's of them Snowboarding, Wakeskating or Surfing still but it seems like most of them don't really have the time or patients to kite anymore.
I woulda said demented rather than stupid, and yet the scientific nature of the flex test is beyond question.
