why do you care?

Was doing just that today slaveboy, but with all sensiblilty, why would he be holding the bar in his right hand in that situation when his next move would be a hard left ?

can't be , trolls are little scrawny critters with tiny horns and brains and the only time they look up is from under a bridge not at the top lip

Go slave...

Lol..

(Going Right), righthand on the bar as you wave-climb, ^^^
then quickly switch to lefthand on the bar for the pressure-downstroke ...
at the critical point of top-turning.

That's how I do it, anyway.
lol.

Firstly I love you waveslave, you rock the potato, over n over!

Bar in left hand...
You've held out, stalled till way late,
You've dropped... This in itself is something most avoid, too busy powered up..

You're fingering the wave on the bottom turn..
Total faith in your kite to float back as you undershoot it.

Smack that lip,
Drop again and reach up with your left hand,
Yank on that line as the kite falls backwards,
Fade way out,
Kite loops and rises,
Come back for more...
Claim it.

No one sees it, doesn't matter... That's kitesurfing doode!

Yeeoowwww! [:)

Why you'd do that with the kite in your right hand I don't know??

Waves lave vidow tutorials. I like to see that!

Yeah I enjoy waveslaves posts, even if I don't agree with all he says it gets you thinking
Onya wavey, hey why don't you come up to the Wedge Wave comp?

you should already be turning the kite down at this point, with the bar in your front hand.

You see how there are no rules, Stamp. ^^^

lol.

No can do. ^^^

Sorry.

WAKSA has black-banned me from all comps.

even though you have behaved like an aSS towards WAKSA through out the years, they have it in their hearts to forgive you your sinns, if you come into the fold and repent.

WAKSA is God. ^^^

lol.

I find it hard to accept that God may be willing to forgive me for my many sins.

Slave you made me think a bit about frontside, backside, the positives/ negatives and the general aesthetics involved in doing so. And I came to a mini-realisation;
Although surfers prefer to ride front-side and most people enjoy seeing frontside surfing more than backside, I think skating is possibly the opposite. Backside is harder on rails and in bowl and the holy grail of bowl and handrail tricks is the backside smith or backside nose-blunt... and they are the pictures people want to see... Makes me wonder, now with the obvious direction of surfing following skating, will surfing backside airs and punts be the new "in-thing"????

There ya go, more rabble added to the rabble-fest.

Im with Rowdy.. I actually prefer to watch someone who goes off on their backhand. Its generally more difficult to do, therefore I appreciate more and when someone manages to do it with style, thats just sweet.

And even for you old folk out there. Think back to Occy at Bells, Jbay or Sunset.. how awesome was that to watch!

Ahh I get it, its like strapless, its harder to do and you appreciate it more. Even though it looks crap and you keep on falling off
