What happened to you and the kite on the last wave?
Like someone said, my kite pulled me through the lip and I got out the back relatively unscathed on this one.
dave...... said..I think going backside actually helps on such a sucky side-offshore wave. Its the timing and the great bottom turns in the pocket that set him up so well. Being able to use the heels as the wave sucks and pigdog a bit keeps the rail from flipping.. Foamball deep... Respect
Although being backside is beneficial in some conditions, personally I think its a little harder to get deeper. When its got a lot of offshore, your bar is closer to the wave and you can't really edge as hard off your toes compared to your heals. Going pigdog does help with balance though and breaking through pinching sections on the way out
Sir V said..Amazing my friend, very inspiring.I wish I could surf it, let alone kite it. But I'm more likely to try it on a kite anyway.
Request: can we see that on the Double Agent? I've started foiling into waves on a kite but I am not at your level. I can only imagine what you'll achieve.
Respect..

Won't be riding a foil in waves like that any time soon, but have had a lot of fun riding the foil without the kite towing into some small swells with a ski here in hawaii. Pretty amazing feeling riding a swell without the kite
