I took up kiting when I was 46 years old. So it was great to hear 'I am approaching 73 so there is not many tricks I want to learn except big air'. Plenty of years left.
Nice to see you met Steven!
You guys kite with Steven Akkersdijk?! Niiiceeeee. I have learnt loads from his SA masterclass videos - I always assumed he was European.
In Wellington we don't get much light wind - so my favourite size to learn new tricks is 9m lol :D
Steven is European - he’s here on a trip. It’s been awesome seeing and filming him kite 😀
@@OurKiteLife belave this... he´s increadibly stylish and seems to be a nice guy
Yeah, another Dutchie.
I like to practice new things in low wind, so the 12m is my choice. Still enough power for me, not super reactive steering, and lower consequence if I fall (which when learning new things is inevitable). Practicing in low wind also has the benefit of exposing any technique issues I may have, I can't rely on being over powered to mask my bad habits.
Another great Vlog from Kite Point, PEI! Big thanks. It would be nice to recognize some of these rock stars with a lower third name tag. And don't forget to include yourself!
I was wondering what was the spot for this vlog . Thank i need to there. Thanks again for the great video
@@sylvainmichaud2547 yes, you need to go. It’s kite point, on Malpeque Bay, PEI. It’s a world class spot, as you can see.
Hey beautiful family. I hope all is well. I really enjoyed this content; seeing @StevenAkkersdijk throwing some dope tricks was a bonus. Keep it up. Much love from Toronto.
Thanks Tunch! Hope all is well with you too and that the wind is good in Toronto :)
Saw you guys on the beach today. Just made the connection . Love the channel.
Nice, hopefully you had a good session :) glad to hear you enjoy the channel!
My Favorite kitesize Is Def Def 14,5 , im using 14.5 Aluula Flite . The Kite is so fast I even looped with him :)
For airstyle definitely the SOUL 18M2 for me . The 12M2 is also good, but with the 18M2 there is more chance that no one is around. I want my space for crashing haha.
I like my 8m kite for learning jumps very much. Because it is fast and it has still enough pop to get you out of the water. Personally I like smaller kites more, because they are more responsive.
wow! jack nicholson is a kitesurfer! rad!!
As allways very symphatic.
like me.. for learning stuff like frontrools, backrools, darkslides.. everything you doont need fast kietmovement i like my core xr 5 11m2 most.. ore even sometimes the 13 for double frontrools becaus you get so much tiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmeeee...
but starting with kiteloops i use my 9m2 core nexus.. it even catches you at about 3-4 m hight.. so you dont have to get up to 7 m and scare youre selfe to death...
18.0 guys! The last guy got it right ;-)
Horses for courses, 11m C kite for handle passes, small bar.
Was that steven akkersdijk!!!??
Yes it was :)
Yet again another great video! Is that Hatteras?
Thanks! This is Prince Edward Island :)
Steven!!
Hey are you guys at kite point right now getting ready for the upcomeing race?
We are! We will be filming a video of the event :)
12m for any not loops trick. 9m for anything with a loop. I have learned a ton on a 14m. Mostly because that’s what the wind allows
I am curious where your usual spot in canada is, thank you
this is kite point pei
Lauri what happened with you knee ? Be carful and take care of yourself. I had such problem with knee but hydrofoiling really much more comfortable for knee )
Meniscus tear but it’s getting better, thanks :)
@@OurKiteLife OMG be very very carful it cost me surgery and 6 month recovery but now everything Ok. So better hydrofoilong) and I can recommend you to use Osser knee brace it really save you knees
can you please do a surfr pro review
Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion - we will look into it :)
Hey - I didn't see very many foil kites on this one... I guess you go with LEI in PEI ?🤣🤣
😂
7 to me
SA 🤙🏼
12m 😀
10
Where is this spot?
Prince Edward Island 🇨🇦
Nice spot to learn kite tricks!!!!
it depends on the tricks you want to learn.!
Kiteloop with 12m
@@Pimvr best kite size for kiteloops start is 9 or 10
Wow, nice video. What's the location? Cheers
Thanks! It’s kite point in PEI
Hello, what location is that?
Kite Point, PEI
@@OurKiteLife Just made my list, thank you!
11M SONIC 3
10m is my one kite quiver for everything
Nice!
Ha! After two seasons with my first kite, a 10m it's time for me to get a 12 definitely and an 8 maybe. Because I'm a slow learner, no tricks yet, but I like to arrive early and leave before the 5 o'clock crowd - so the wind's usually lighter earlier.
My favourite size is 14 Becouse allula Rome terns much faster almost like my 11 switchblade cabrinha
Have heard great things about the Aluula kites!
Depends what trick you silly gooses! Obviously you’re not going to learn looping tricks on a big kite, and learning technical tricks (I.e. board offs) is easier on a big kite 😜
Agreed - a few riders spoke to that in the video ;)
So bigger is not better?
Nah 😅
15 m for many usual progression tricks … perfect! 🪂👍
