Enjoyed that . Reminded me of a few sections of water in between Ledge P and Wedge I .

That walk just to land your kite on grass was scary . You must have a large pair as well .

That landing spot is actually way safer than it looks James. :) In a SW that bush is perfectly placed for a dead-zone.

I can't believe you don't like synthwave psychojoe! Actually I can. Music is such a subjective experience. But then I can't figure on exactly what else you'd put in a kiting video. The muffled gopro sound of wind and waves is probably even less inspiring then musical genre you despise. If you have any links to Leo/Luluz videos post em up please! I remember when Ben Wilson was making content a few years back I found some good videos of wave kiting in Aussie but I haven't seen anything for agggeeeeessss.

But I liked the music

cool vid, looks like a fun place. Is the wind quite side-on there normally, or even onshore? At least you get to play around on some swell, unlike the majority of beaches here in Perth.

I wouldn't say it's a shore dump exactly. When you're kiting here it's usually either onshore or cross onshore and given that it's quite exposed the swell is typically really big. I generally find myself kiting reforms a fair bit and they can still get pretty punchy (and big) if you look for the right section. In a SW (cross onshore) it's also quite good for airs.

I've not wave kited on a point break before (I surfed in the Naki plenty but not had the kite down there) but I suspect if you're looking for unbroken wave-face type riding (like the Tai Road examples above) then you might be a bit disappointed with Muriwai. There's definitely open face riding to be found but it takes a while to get your head around how to make it work. I live here though so it's difficult to beat a 30 second drive to the beach. :)

Haha, yeah I've had some moments of sheer terror when screwing up a switch in front of a big, messy monster! Gets the blood pumping to be sure.

This has to be the best website for wave kiting videos. There is around 1500 to 2000 vids from the latest stuff to about 10 years ago. They collate any and all good strapless kiting vids so if there is something from the pros it will be on there. Regularly updated as well.

Really a gem for wave kiting content.
