This is a video made by Andy Gordon. I think this might have been made in the last couple of months of summer.

What do you give it out of ten? I would give it a 9 :)

Andy Gordon should get some sort of award for kitesurfing videos - another incredible vid. Great philosophy from Damo .. "kitesurfing is fun .. don't get too worked up about it"

wow... that editing is incredible. Reminds me of the editing on the government antispeeding and anti smoking commercials.

Awesome vid!

That bloke is a genius! Seriuosly impressive stuff.
Did he do the trailer for "Race to Rotto" which was posted on this forum a while ago? That was really good to.

Those boards that are being made.... are they "Addiction Kiteboards"?

im surprised none of the major kite companies or major pros havnt hired him yet (or have they?). His skills in filming and editing are far better and more entertaining than any other kite movie ive ever seen. The current videos the companies have for there products are s***house i rekon.

damn that guy is a sick rider ay, hes mean at all styles which is cool! hes right in sayin people only concentrate on one style, i noticed that about myself today, with how little ive been on the water and when im out i just spent time workn on wakestyle n newschool unhookd stuff and today i was struggling with the older more basic stuff i used to do back wen i first started

hope to see more kite videos like that! and the songs he used fits nicely with the riding aswell, alota songs on kite dvds n stuff dont follow the pace of the riders so it just sounds stupid!

damo sick ass rider.

i think i would have motion sickness if there was a whole dvd edited like that.

cool it down and allow the viewer to be able to actually watch the moves.

very frustrating

Cheers for the reply Damo.

I thought those boards looked familiar! I got a second-hand addiction board (Edge 133) from a bloke in Perth... off the seabreeze website earlier this year. It's awesome. I didnt know anything about Addiction boards when I got it, so it was a bit of a gamble for me, but have been really happy with it.

In regards to downloading the video... Your best bet is probably to right clik on the vid, and select the "save link" option. Save it to your desktop... then watch using VLC player.... if you havent got it (Google "VLC Player download")... its quick to download and it plays just about any type of video file) - Good luck

Hope to see more vids from Andy Gordon. Really impressive stuff.

yeah man i dont know whats been going on. No one else seems to break them but i guess if you are a fat bastard like me and you love kiteloops then you land that little bit harder. i am onto it now tho. i have found out that a little bit of kevlar layed up in the right way and in the right places is the secret!!! my new board almost feels unbreakable (as in you will break your legs first) and it rides better than any production board i have ever ridden but dont take my word for it you should come down to woodys when i get back from sweden and have a go. see what you think.


ok spacemonkey the damos trade secret #306 2 pac paint does not stick to durasurf and it is bad for the enviroment if you try to paint it on anyway

skwinty im glad that you are happy with your board i'm at an internet cafe so i cant save anything onto the computer. is there anyway i can just watch the vid online?? like you can with youtube?
