I cant believe how good Ian from BWS is getting, he cranks on a kite.Bear Karry kills it too.. Post ya kite surfing clips here and show the world what is possible on a surf board !!
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....
Even the new bread of pro surfers are taking it to the next level with aerials, Add a kite these days and you have a WHOLE LOT OF FUN !
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!
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.
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.
cool, never seen an strapless front roll before, jeez thats 2 new tricks to try in a week (+ 360 pop shuv) gotta be a video progression record
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
