sweet riding man... ![]()
never seen someone unhook so early before a trick, like your style though!
what camera is the first one, much better than the second.![]()
Got a better response here than on the Scoop.
Haven't seen it yet, video streaming blockers in this internet backwater.
Great Stuff!
Did you enter the comp on the w.e?
I thought you have to have the Kite lower for wake style, low so there is absolutely no pop coming from the Kite (similar to the pull wakeboarding), and use the waves as your primary pop for the trick. Is that correct?

@Hayden
The kite is going to be the pull whether or not it's in the flats or off of a kicker.... How do you figure you can get off the water let alone ride without the kite? But yes the kite should be low.
@Drury
Of course there is always pull from the kite but if you sit the kite a meter off the water there's no vertical pull and complete horizontal pull. Similar to wakeboarding. If you have it at 45 degrees then you have equal vertical and horizontal pull.
Kungas is still one of my favourite riders to watch, what you see in the video is proble a tenth of what this guy is capable of and at thirty five still gets better every year and those who know him or have seen him ride will agree.
@Hayden
To answer your original question. Wakestyle is not just having your kite nearly in the water and going off of chop/kickers it is performing any wakeboarding move (ie. Slim, Mobe, KGB, Front to blind etc.) either off of flat water with your kite low or off of kickers.
