i know which one involves more skill
Oh yeah, which one is that? Seeing I am obviously in no position to make judgement as I am not a "pro" kiteboarder I would love to hear which one (wakeskate or surfboard) would involve more skill to use in that situation from someone who knows. I think Keahi could help shine some light on this situation

As for this not being an up-wind punt, I'm sure this is the same wave that Wilson had a whole video of up-wind airs at. I would love to see the sequence, as I am pretty sure he is hooked-in. Even if he does make it, this trick will involve some over the head whip nonsense of the lines. Funny thing is when Pete Cabrinha was doing those air reverses hooked-in in Ten4 people said they were gay, but now people do that all the time it's suddenly considered ok?...
Really in the end kiting is all about fun and I am all about people having fun so if your alright with what tricks/ videos/ photos you put out as a pro rider good for you. However you know my stance on the subject, it's your choice whether you choose to accept it or ignore it.
