I appreciate this "Anthology" - I have had Kitewing and Dirtsurfer since 2005, I used to use it on west country beaches in the UK - 2005-2006, great times (I nearly destroyed myself in 40 kt on Tywyn beach wales back in 2005)... Since 2006 I have ben in Australia - more kitesurfing... I have tried water kitewing flying a few times with limited success ( Not having a water floating type... nor an inflatable - as is becoming more common now. nor a high enough volume board, or windy enough days - so many factors...) - your film brings home lots of memories. Great going with an original kitewing.... cheers.
Hi, Nice story. I keep my fingers crossed for your future adventures. You should definiately try to add a foil to your board - it will be a great experience and a new challenge for you :)
I used windsurfboard in Fuerteventura, I have also used sub board, but my selfmade board is mutch easier to surf specially in low wind. I can't see what advance is to learn windsurfing before kitewing surfing, because using Kitewing on water is so much different. I have also windsurfed, but not much.
Mikä on käytännön ero? Ajattelin itse testata kun pääsen taas vesille, mutta sinulla on varmaankin jo kokemusta. Näin äkkiseltään luulisi, että jos pitää ylemmästä kiinni, niin haukkaa helpommin veteen ja vaikeampi kääntää tuulta vasten.

Hi, I mostly surf on small lakes and stints are so short that I haven't even tought about using harness (I don't own one). Maybe I shoud try it someday.
I can see you are a stubborn fellow, however it may be about time you swap this contraption for the much more extended traditional method of Marconi sails, you know, the ordinary vertical ones with a mast. Not that this one of yours doesn't work, it is just the other one is much more confortable and efficient, but I suppose you have already come to the same conclusion. Anyway, I think you are a visionary man of the north.
Moikka, tuosta on huomautettu aikaisemminkin. Kokeilin eri otetta, jossain tilanteessa siitä on hieman etua, toisissa haittaa: ua-cam.com/video/oubpu6zW0jk/v-deo.html
Good thing you weren't strapped to your wing you would have down on the bottom of the lake for 2 years with it! 🤔 And where the hell did you get this irritating spiraling text????😕

I wish I could access one old unused sail of yours to start building and testing my homemade hybrid idea.
Hieno tarina! Kiva kun näki noin pitkän historian Surfuksestasi.
Hi,
Nice story. I keep my fingers crossed for your future adventures. You should definiately try to add a foil to your board - it will be a great experience and a new challenge for you :)
Definiately, I just have to get extra money to buy one.
With a harness on this wind you would go planing. And you need a foil today, you will fly on 10 kn wind (with some pumping).
I hope that I can test a foil someday.
Nice story. You have great perseverance! I think it is time you bought a kite (kite surfing) though.
I've thought about it, but I believe that Kite is better in bigger lakes or sea. There are not many places near my home where Kitesurfing is possible.

The front hand is in the wrong y-tube.
Always hold onto the closest Y-tube so the wing works properly.

Fantastic!! why not an harness???
Hi, I mostly surf on small lakes and stints are so short that I haven't even tought about using harness (I don't own one). Maybe I shoud try it someday.
Just learnt Kitewing existance yesterday, looks pretty cool.
What wingspan/wingspeed do you need to make sense out of it ?
Over 3 m/s. I go to lake when it's 5 m/s or over. My wing is 5.5 and my weight is 80 kg.
Has ANYONE in Europe ever heard of board shorts?
It would be better if you learnt to windsurf first, and then kitewing surfing. Also i am sure that it will be better if you get a windsurfing board

I have two old sails. I may use them sometimes in future … or not. Time tells, but windsurfing in any style is fun :)
Aika hyvin menee mutta otteella oikeasta eikä väärästä y-putkesta menisi vielä paremmin.....
