kitefriend said.. Nice, enjoyed that one! Seeing you slash those waves on the skate makes it obvious how little most people are really surfing on their kiteboards .
True, Kitesurfing is mostly an illusion . I guess it's still not cool to ride waves on a twin-tip though? because I mean then you wouldn't be "surfing"... right?
Nice vid there Rowdy ! Looks like a great spot and I loved the music and edit. Still not sure about wearing your clothes in the water but hey, who am I to judge. Keep em coming !!

Cheers man! P.s. Open to suggestions of what to wear in the water. I'm not really feeling the scare your kids uncle Tony speedo look, anything else is good.
Same one as last few years Pete, it's a custom skate a magical shaper in France built me haha. I've actually still never met the guy in person, great skate though! It's roughly 112cm x 41 from memory.
That skate looks tiny, surprised you can ride it upwind. When are we going to see some other wakeskate vids? Only decent ones I've seen are from Tape and yourself the rest just look sloppy and uncontrolled.
It's pretty small, but with proper technique (foot placement) it goes up wind ok if you have enough juice.
I guess Wakeskate with a kite is still small, it's not exactly easy to get into and I think most people are put off by the time it takes to learn tricks properly. It's also not easy to get hold of a proper skate (mines a custom). I'm sure in the future we will see more people taking it up and doing far better than I do.
Cost to make would probably be around 2-300 dollars I think. It's mostly wood and epoxy, with some PU siderail and griptape ontop.
its getting big at cairns. Gdog had made a few, and they pass the jig around so other people can build them. thats the direction ill go down when my body wont let me do wakestyle anymore.
