Nice work Billy but we think you meant LOSE THE STRAPS and not LOOSE THE STRAPS as printed. Too much time kitesurfing and not enough at school self evidently!

thanks for the positive feedback. What should i change from this video to my next one, would you prefer more lifestyle shots or more action shots?
Is 3 minutes too long?

That vid had a good layout man.

Can't stand watching a vid that goes for 4 minutes, has over a minute with no riding at the start and 30 seconds of the same at the end.

The footage of you drag launching your kite at the start was enough to set the scene for me.

A refreshing change from the norm is what I'm trying to say... keep more of the same coming!!!!!!!!

conditions like this sorts out the men from the boys. The men are on the beach and the boys are out kiting it .
seriously i think you would have the pounding of your life.

Young BlooD!

Billy has too much fun living in the best place in Oz for wind, flat water and epic waves.

This is def not the first or last video we seen from Billy. He is an exceptional Aussie allround talent who rips in freestyle and surf reminding me of guys like Keahi, Andy and Bellie when they were groms.

Keep it up Billy. Cant wait for your next great edit!

Nice work Billy good to see you got dad busy on the camera really enjoyed that. Flat water stuff looked great and the waves were not too bad either. Wouldn't mind a couple of seconds devoted to the old man next time.

Youth talent great conditions so jealous;) .good on ya for reaching a level where you can take on the ocean like that. Camera always makes it look that much smaller but just looking at how many were out shows you how big it was.keep up your positive attitude you'll go far not matter what you do.also liked the stand up you could probably go smaller IMHO,and really throw it about,just a thought.great job keep th footage coming thanks

I enjoyed it man, good filming, good edit and strong riding. I'm glad you didn't put in a big intro or some gay inspirational shots. Hope to see it on the kitesurfing channel as half the **** up there is well below this.

Well unlike you young Billy I'm not sitting there red thumbing everything you post haha.
Good work on the vid though, you had some awesome conditions! Next time I come I'm bringing the polyester shred sled so I can snake some waves off you.
