| Without seeing any other frames, on the angle that the photo was taken maybe the windsurfer isn't as close to the kite surfer as the photo portrays!?! |

LOFT WIND ......... you Just dont get it and from all your posts never never never will ........ just stay in the shallow end of the pool.
Do you think the windsurf,,,, thats hit this fire breathing dragon on the nose is super imposed ?????? or somthing.
You want to ride down wind on the shoulder .......your goin to get landed on.
Line up....by...... sail out the back 5 km and get on the back of your own dragon to slaye. avoid at all costs getting into this position. flick out before hand.

^^^^^^ I knew if I poked hard enough you would soon show
And you have totally missed the point.
I commented on what was said on here that it is ok for the dancer to purposly take out other water uses if they have right of way.Pretty dumb redneck attitude.
I bet if the pic was a dancer about to get taken out you would be writting letters to the council.
Havent said anywhere that the kiter should be there,dont know where you got that from???????
NO NEED TO GET ALL ANGRY AND SHOUT, chill
And if you took the time to look at all the pics on the site you would see its a set up game of cat and mouse.
So have the rules changed????If someone is downwind of you and they shouldnt be,its ok to take them out????

Awesome to see film of this relatively remote location. The reef around New Caledonia is a long way from the coast and requires chartering a boat to get out to the waves. When I was in New Cal (10 years ago) I asked the local hire guy about wavesailing there but the cost of charter was well beyond my budget.
My impression is that this is a relatively fickle wave so its great to see photos from a day when its really firing.

To all the haters;
Quit trying to stir-up bad blood between poleys and kiters.
You know, the two riders in the pic are most probably mates.
lol.
Hey, no one died, right ?
Anyhow, the kiter looks to be flicking off the wave.
He probably took the wave thinking it would close-out and shut down on his poley friend.
But obviously it wasn't to be.
You do stuff like that in the surf, it's normal.
There's nothing worse than letting a wave go to waste.

I agree waveslave, the poley certainly didn't let the wave go to waste....
Sick vids of New Cal. Sifferlan rips. They should hold a 'Wave Classic' (like Reunion/Fuetre/Morocco comps) there. |

PET HATE .................is what where talking about,,,, something particularly disliked.
Like DROPPING IN puting oneself in an area of danger.............. Notice the kiter asking the question will or wont he slop the dragon ...... i hope he goes down and i get this wave of him . Well the kiter got his answer and didnt like it one bit ............Whos hating who.
Lucky the polie bloke didnt throw into a forward and had the skill to drop it down next to the kiter and not right on top ........and or not expode on inpact after slaying the throat of such a beast
.......Believe me lofty if he was really going to take this dood out, he would have throwen his gear or landed square on his head ,or put the nose of his board up under his rib cage and or throw the gear so it wrapped around the med strings to help him turn turn da kite.
What you dont understand is how much commitment is involved to be inside the belly of the beast
If the polie did bail off the top to satisfy your DISIRE TO give way the chances are he would have got caught up in the gear and ,had the breath of the beast pick him up like a tooth pick and spear him into the beasts dungon cave.
IF hwe was then lucky and his gear went over the back the surging dragon would have dragged him close enough to his cave to be smashed by the 3 member of the family.

I don't know why that particular photo is the one that has stirred up so much controversey.... surely this one has much bigger implications!
If a kiteboarder is to land on your shoulder you should definately not blow him
