Glad to hear it! Now go and ducking send it 💪😎

Haha 😜 yeah thats a good one. I remember the story did not ended there-after a week that guy on the kite jumped above the windsurfers so they all went from mowing the lawn to take a kitesurfing lesson and never mocked anyone again. True story.

@@EpicGust If I was to take up watersports again, (Im now 70) it would definitely be kiting, if nothing else than the ease of transporting the stuff around.........boot of a car. Its also very easy to learn, I took a lesson in Dahab when the wind was poor for windsurfing, I was solo before lunch, not very gracefull, but solo. Windsurfing was/is way more difficult to get competent with. The best thing is actually being ON the water, Kiters spend more time in the air, borderline NOT a watersport, fun to watch, but...meh

So glad!

stopping the dive reqires tension, so until the kite is not paralelly movng with the ground and not towards the ground, you better hold some tension, when the kite is stabilised, THEN sheet out IF needed!

Thats true but i theach it this way for a good reason - If you do stretch your leg in the water already and you not quick enough to send the stroke you will start turning one way.. same if you ride stop - sink- and keep thenfront leg straight- you twist immediately. The start and the finish position therefore has to be the ball like one. Thats my experience with many students.

It is often happens how much you crash it or how you handle it on the beach. and being out on the sun or flapping on the beach all day will not make any kite jounger :) i like these kites yet i upgraded them mostly in 2 -3 years , the latest one AS Ventum are like sls kites. briliiant stuff. the extra performance and light wind ability worth it over the generally more fragile leading edge. it is not super fragile, but more than the simple dacron. this material is fragile against rocks- they make still the ones from the normal dacron. consider all these, for the ligher winds of hua hin the 15 or the 12 m AS series would be awesome.

sorry for the crossinng god knows what happened with that text, i write A bit ugly :)

It looks like yet it is a simple front with the kiteloop so boogie loop but it looks like a double indeed!

Hey Rob!! It was a pleasure to meet you! Sorry that you were unlucky with the wind this time!!thans for your nice words mate 🙌

Thanks again! :)

hah the magic of the one man show! thanks! appreciated!

Big up

Appreciate it! I will talk to the god damn DJ. He always want to steal the show! 😅

HEy Seheltontian! Thanks for your question! For me it sounds like can be two cases. Maybe oyur kite control is not yet at the phase where you will nail waterstart easily. I would parcitce the move without the board for a 30 minutes before giving you the board. Can you make a powerdive like this stable? Can you make a double one - like 12-10-11-10 sequence. Can you make a triple? Can you make more power by steering harder ? can you go back to less power by steering slower? making sure you not hanging on the bar. Often we tend to pull right to send the kite back up but we dont realize we pull the left evenly strong. This is a sign of being a bit timid , so that bodydragging exercise just moving the kite will ease this feeling and you feel more confident - so the waterstart will be good too. An other case can be that after standing up you following the kite with your board so much that this causes the tension disappear. Once you are up you need to edge slightly, and with that you create line tension so the kite listenes to you - and it will turn. Small tip - on the way up when the kite goes , if you lean back more and you let the bar out like 10 cm the kite will go up much quicker. If all this is already in your pocket, and you are confident that you should be able to do all this - then your bar is out of trim and that causes the trouble- I have a video about line lengths where i explain how to do it and all. Generally from your level to upwind you dont need more than 1, maybe two lessons. You find me on lake como in case you fance to have a session with us! Hope this helps in some ways mate! Cheers!

@@EpicGust Thank you very much for your advise. I wish I could go to Lake Como to take lesson with you. I am far far away. Based upon your advise, I think that I dived the kite too hard and too low, it was at the edge of the wind window where wind is the weakest, second, I pointed my board to downwind too much so that I lost the line tension. I need more practice to find that balance.

Ok so now i am sure you stand up with way too mich power. Use less agressive dive and roll up. Once up on the board bring the kite up and repeat the move while gradually leaning back more as the speed builds in. Watch my waterstart video - all in there that you need to do step by step!!! And let me know how it worked! You not yet want to ride upwind but focus on creating gentle tension by leaning back!! You will get it in no time!

@@EpicGust I was able to ride for about a hundred yard, stop, and turn around from time to time, but not consistently because of the problems I described above. Also I have more trouble going right than going left. Thanks again. I will report back to you when I make any progress using your advise.

@@EpicGust I am happy to tell you that it works. with less power, I am able not to lose line tensions, to ride upwind. Thanks for the tips. You are one of the few on UA-cam who emphasize line tensions and how important it is in kitefurfing. Great work.

Yes it was! i was blown away :D literally!

It is so easy to make my day. Just a comment 💪

Hey Stein! From CR right? hope so! Thanks for your input! I thought the same, yet some kite designers taught me on the following- those lines are pre streched, so they cant get much longer if any. They told me that the line thread can collect debris and that will stuck there forever (unless washingmachine treatment that is yet to be tested) making those lines shorter, and this is mostly happening to the steering lines. I really want to debunk this but have no 24m tall building next to me where i can hang up something heavy for a week to see if they really stretch or what :) anyways, as always, interesting topic!

@@EpicGust Yes, they are "pre-stretched" but that doesn't prevent more stretching. I say this because kiters routinely ask me why their kite isn't flying right, and when we check the lines, they are usually different lengths. After 24 years of teachingkiteboarding, I trust what I see first hand, and consider propaganda from the manufacturers to be just that - propaganda. BTW, bridles stretch too, and they're more difficult to correct.

@@steinerikgabrielsen2988 good points there! i agree, i also rather believe what i see- and feel , just half the time that you spent in the teaching but getting there! :) all the best bud!

They will learn! Time will make them learn

Good idea thanks !!

@@EpicGust in particular what happen to me is that I can't anymore send the kite to 12 and edge the board upwind in the same time, probably because I have gained to much speed and relative wind increase.... something strange that only with very specific boosting kite doesn't always happen ...

Max??? I wanted to tag you but no insta or yt i have from you haha indeed very fckn nice footage !

38. But it is not a competition who is older!! :D just i think slowly getting to 40 i never imagined myself doing shit that i can do today. super glad for my slow but steady progress :)

yeah you are right, if the kite is yours you can adjust itt to your liking!

Have you tried those kites with a low V?

They work with a low v but seem to fly better with a high V

@@EpicGust I do fly only Ozone gear, sorry. It was just what many are saying.

​@@IJzzo ozone for the win its all the goods here in Australia too can get replacement gear always for ozone stuff🤙

@@ShannonHartnett-117 Also they seem not to throw half developed stuff on the market. I just got replacement lines for a 9 year old Chrono v2. However I am quite the only one riding Ozone at my local kite spot.

Not sure what you mean by that but the province is Lecco at the south and Como at the nort / and west. Sondrio also close. Bigger cities to launch kites from - Colico, Dervio, Dongo, Cremai. They all wind dependent so not all of them working every day. Hit me up if you need info about the upcoming day!

yeah not sure about that :D def looks hard and everyone claims it is hard :D
