One for the Wakestyle Kitesurfers - Wrapped G-spot
Check this one out - Eric Rienstra pulling a wrapped G-spot kitesurfing at where looks like Kite Beach - Maui. Eric is one of Slingshot's best wakestyle kitesurfing riders, and can be found at home in the Gorge, Oregon USA - sporting a 6XL Tee shirt and bindings.
Can you work out what's going on there? We can - just - it's basically a toeside back roll with a wrapped/handle-pass backside 180, but he started wrapped so he's done a full 360 throughout the move. Took a few tries, but it looks alright in the end!
Oh to be in the land of 24/7 wind and waves - think of all the new moves you'd learn with that much water time and talent to watch. Summer's just kicking off in the northern hemisphere, so if you need to get a wind fix (and who doesn't lately!) - hit up your travel agent and head somewhere WINDY!
