Nice vid, nice riding and good kite choice...

you are riding most of those waves switch right (you are not a goofy footer??)....


yes eppo i ride switch most of the time because i don't like riding backhand on the large waves.

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 would like to get a smaller stand up but its tricky finding one. The one I'm riding is 7'8'' x 25'' 74L.

Awesome vid, great to see a change from the usual dubstep, great mix of surf and a small wakestyle section.

any smaller you might as well get a surf board.since your so good at switch kiting hope you try riding switch sup surfing,I find its really handy especially being able to paddle into waves either way.of course you'll always prefer your favoured side but like kiting its handy to be able to ride toe side no matter which way the wave is breaking.imho.hope dad is taking you out lots stay safe .

Hey Billy love the vid- had the best time down south kiting with everyone.So cool to see you and family out there mixing it up. Highlight for me was that last day when the swell peaked and the crowds were hiding...I even pulled a pole dancer out of harms way . As I recall just as you had had enough there was only 3 of us left out there taking turns on some of the biggest swell lines I have ever seen.
So excited to see your footage and with a long shot did the old boy happen to get any of me ? I had black gath helmet with wainman kite and red board.
Super keen if footage is there- happy to cover any costs.

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?
Billy.


Token bikini chicks, you cant go wrong with that.
