The only one I can do is free ride, but I'm pretty sure it's like this Fish.

Wakestyle - Wakeboard inspired moves where the rider twists and spins with plenty of power and lands with speed. Mobes, F16s and all that fancy stuff that Hadlow wins world titles with.

Freeride - What most of us do, just ride around in various conditions doing various tricks in those various conditions. So, a kite or board that says it's good for freeriding means its an all rounder.

Freestyle - This is pretty much the same as wake style I reckon. Doen on flat water, lots of spins and twists, kite loops etc. This is not about jumping high as much as it is jumping with power. Although Reuben Lenten is in the process of changing that.

Then you've got Wave Kiting, or proper Kite Surfing, and that's doin it in the waves.

Welcome to the Wide Wide Sport of Kite Stuff.

I miss it.
