Can any of these guys actually ride waves or is this some kind of new skate / kite trend. Whatever it is, personally I think it sucks....

Man BWS does kill it, BUT, upwind hooked in chop hops aren't getting me one bit amped. It's not even waveriding. In-fact I can't even tell if that vid was a pisstake or not.
Lets see some more Ryland footage! Muscling some down the line unhooked airs like he does is what i wanna see!

So you must really set the world on fire the Paul1 - lets see some of your footage so that we can judge

Perhaps you were the old man windsurfer in the clip

How come people can't appreciate somebody just pushing the sport of Kiting forward.

It doesn't have to have a defined style or path. The guys are just mixing it up with conditions they have and pushing what has not been done before.

I love the waves and yeah that was not waveriding, but it was still something 99% of you *** on the forum can't do.

It was nicely produced and the kiting looked great.

Slomo is for use ONE time in a vid if that and is reserved only for the very best of stuff. Slomo really is as good as claiming... people need to realise this.

p.s. If you consider someone a kook because they didn't like a "surfing" vid that had no surfing in it and was full of a bunch of slomo upwind hooked in mary popins not even off the lip of a wave. Then I guess I'm a kook.

wow thats some red hair.

I liked it strapless rotations landing back on the wave face.

why isn't it surfing the wave? i saw small waves and i dude standing up on a board slashing them up. thats surfing them. in my book.

Well I don't consider boosting with your kite off the flat of a wave to be surfing. Each to their own I guess. It definitely took a little bit of skill to do so credit points are due there.

Pretty sure I've seen both of those before...

p.s. Keahi is a mate but I really gotta say that the hooked in 360 shuv thing he does is just something he does mucking around between waves, it's not exactly "progressive". He does do some other shuv variations off the lip now and again that are pretty cool though, I will try and get him doing some next time.

Always stoked to see something new as i know that without mucking around no one would ever be progressing cos no one would ever try anything new for fear of it being ridiculed before it even had a chance to develop. yep keen to see more footy

It's more like a backhand bs shuv revert that he does, but it looks pretty sick when he does it right. I think he does the 3 shuvs off the lip to.
Surprisingly if you are hooked in and leaning back against the kite it isn't as hard as you would think on the flat and I found the technique to be totally different than on a skateboard or unhooked on a wakeskate. You should give it a go, trick is just not to try and spin it off the water, get i the air first.
