I dont know Kam...just doesnt seem like the brightest idea to me to launch a blade (even a 3m) in those winds.

Dang.... I was really waiting on the orca to go for the temporary beaching to snag the tasty, flailing "bait" before swimming off into the sunset.

It really would have added the perfect Monty Python (or Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom for those old enough to remember that) flavor to the whole thing.

I don't think that was a depower mod. I think it is just the flexi extreme bar. I would want the control of handles if I had enough to drink to fly a 3m kite in that wind. :rolleyes::bouncing:

remember to count the number of tumbles in the surf during the slo-mo replay at the end, the fella takes quite a few!

i can't believe how easily he was moving about at the end of the video!

barefoot kitesurfing has been done, but on an FB? any size?



fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....

sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...

also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.
