I started kitesurfing because I was sick of having crap blown out surfing conditions in the arvos. Kitesurfing got me out there more & I was able to actually enjoy these sessions without getting frustrated about having to paddle onto blown out waves.

Park & Ride for me - That just suits & makes more sense to me coming from a surfing background. Everyone is different. Just go with what you enjoy the most I say.

i think jimbo was scared off ben. dont think hes coming back

Hopefully ben will bring waves to QLD as well when he dose his clinics, getting sick off one foot slop.

Good to see you on the forums Ben.

Oh Waveslave trust you to only see the Black and White.
Of coarse there are many shades of grey in between and if you ride real world conditions you ride a bit of both. At my home spot I get to ride from mostly cross on to onshore. Cross shore maybe 30 - 40 times a year. I get to ride cross offshore waves a handful of times a year.


Ben is fortunate and skilful enough to make a living chasing the perfect conditions for his Style. JB could most probably do the same, but has chosen a different path. Drew Beavis seems to be pushing the kite flyer style internationally and Props to him.

Having seen you ride many times waveslave and knowing the sizes you fly I would say you defiantly say you lean towards being a Kite flyer style wave rider. When you drop onto a wave at your home spot, you turn the kite hard before you Bottom turn the board.

The surf clinic is great , good to see Ben tudering people on how to improve your surf skills,which results to having more fun in the ocean.
