As someone said above, kiting isn't surfing and no, in all but a few, rare wind/swell direction combinations, anything resembling a full surfing roundhouse cutback can't be done on a kite.
Yes, a true roundhouse cutback is awesome, not one where any straight lines destory the figure eight, but one that is done as an initiating turn, and then another bouncing off the foam or right in the slot. Done on a single fin the feeling and drive is incredible. Backside, the second turn is a filthy re entry going back on itself.
Do we need to begin on all the things that can be done on a kite that can't be done on a surfboard?
Skate through the impact zone in 0.3 seconds without paddling once.
Fly over the top of waves instead of losing ground in a duck dive.
Fly.
Line the shore with awestruck spectators. (These days are long gone for 'billabongised' surfing.)
Use a wave as a ramp to boost 30 ft in the sky. (Theoretically, if you could paddle fast enough, however the landing would be hard.)
Make sections that wouldn't be comtemplated on anything else but a jet ski.
Etc, etc, etc, etc.
Is it true you ride a SUP kotp? Each to their own but personally, as I tell my mates that sweep the ocean, what is the difference between a stand up goat boat and a sit down goat boat.
I would love to see you, or anyone do a full figure 8 roundhouse cutback on your SUP and bounce it off the foam, that would be a f#
@king awesome sight.
Let me know when you have it wired and I'll come and watch.
