What's up guys? Welcome back to another series of our tech talk videos. We've got a whole bunch of new topics for you that we're gonna discuss this year. Partly based on questions that you guys sent in and questions that we get a lot. So without further ado, let's go!
Today we are here with Luke McGillewie, one of our team riders. Luke is a local here in Cape Town and the thing that we want to discus with Luke today is: How to get into wave kiting or kite surf board riding. We get a lot of questions from people who come from a twintip background and they're a bit scared of how to get into wave kiting. So we just want to take those fears away and get them going.

Awesome! Strictly strapless is heaven on the water… It takes a bit of experience, but once you’re able to do all maneuvers, it’s pure dreams…🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾😁
Knowledgable Luke!
