Good lessons 🤙
My experience in Cabarete is that you have to kite defensively. There are a lot of newbies who don’t really know what they are doing and can get themselves (and you) into a lot of trouble. I stopped going to Cabarete for that reason and now chose less frequented destinations.
Yeah i am not sure what is the deal...
Its nice that you are right there at the spot - its definitely a win. Also theres some really good people.
But also its just super crowded with people learning and bodydragging and surfing...
And its not like its an easy spot...
U got small shorebreak.
U got chop,
Reefs,
Sometimes big waves
its puzzling why it gets that crowded...
But i guess on the good day the waves and the reefs could be amazing...
I dont mind it but there are other places where this is not happening at all...
Buen Hombre or Puerto Rico for instance...
It might also be the vibe?
The vibe in Cabarete is unique and
beaches and activities are super awesome - for relatively low price
Sorry but what the f was that guy doing i think he wanted to eat your kite or something haha
Yeah right?? O tought that he was going to help…
The lesson in this case is... Dont help if you dont know how :p
@@Kitehomiez more like, don't learn in the middle of a stampeding kiteboard herd, lol. That poor guy was as surprised as anyone.
@@cadthunkin haha yeah - he was kinda unusual. I saw him the other day riding around and singing to himself loudly - and being totally out of control so yeah... Haha
That guy :D wow... we also thought he wanted to help you somewhat, just wanted to tangle i guess.
Btw nice jumps to the right aswell, guess im the only one who cant do shit to his weak side :/
Cool video and music too
I missed the extremes waves somehow. Great to see nothing happened!
Yeah sorry i might have exaggerated :P They were noticable tho
I'd be that poor guy, saying "Help, I can't stop. Whoa, whoa, get me off this thing, whose idea was this?" while almost killing the experts around me...
Haha he was a weird individual. Few days later i saw him riding around totally out of control turning left and right and singing to himself loud. Definitely in his own world :P
How do you like the raptor extreme?
Which size do you ride it?
How do you likte the crazyfly footpads?
Hey there. I think its a very good board.
Its not totally flat it has a wee bit of rocker.
Which makes it good for light wind but also not bad for landings and cutting through small annoying chop.
I ride 140x42 so quite big.
Board is great quality - lasted me very long time - compared to boards i had previously... I used to ride duotone jaime and those fell apart quite quick and warranty was not cool... (Keep in mind I am quite tall and heavy and durability for me is important :P)
Maybe a bit on the heavier side for fin boardoffs? But i can make it happen when there is enough wind.
The footpads... Well they are quite flexible for boardoffs - cos they dont stick to your feet or booties... But the construction is pretty basic...
Unfortunately the durability of footstrap is horrible, they break and fall apart all the time.
Since i put airush binding on the board no complaints. (But i might have learned to land softer hahaha - but prolly not :P)
Hope that helps.
Dude....It is small waves for Kitebeach
🤣
Yeah i know sorry... There were days with bigger ones for sure. Also is really hard to show waves in the video...
hahaha wonder what went trough his head???
Haha everyone does
