To credit the original poster and star of the show - Toby Braeuer (Kiteforum) just posted this. Check it out (if you're over 30ish...)
If anyone calls this 'Oldschool'
I've got no problem being 'old'..
20-25knts 16m Rebel = Airtsyle Toby stlye. Awesome. Cant weait to see the 500 tricks.
We will see a lot more 'old school'/ boosting projects in future.
Tom Hebert(North) is starting an old school film project soon. He does some wicked stuff in 15 secs hangtime..
The progression of kiteboarding as asport just stepped back 10 years.
There is a reason these moves no longer win competitions.
Anyone who has been kiting for a couple months can boost big, especially using a kite a couple sizes too big for the conditions.
I liked it. It made me smile.
It suffers from the same problem as wake style. Once you get past the full on power moves the tricks are just froth.
Pointlessly twirling your board is just as pointless as pointlessly passing your bar. It's pointless. Get my point?
Those moves might not win competitions, but they would win every single person over, at any beach, anywhere in the world. Bloody Fantastic!
Yup i is with ya.
I would rather watch this live on a beach than the wake stuff. Mind you I am old.
Not saying wake is easy or pants, its just when its watched live you have absolutely no idea what just happened. (In slow mo it looks real cool)
This made me smile all the way through - love the whole concept of the style being fully pushed - such a blast for the old schooler who love going big
Why is Toby hanging out with all those small children at the start? It all looks very Michael Jackson...
