Hey......has anyone lost their kiting mojo before, and if so how did you get it back?

Mine has gone on vacation, and even despite having not gone out for four weeks, I still didn't feel that buzz when on the water yesterday and it was a beautiful sunny and windy day.

Yep

Lost it a couple of months ago when persistently riding a directional .Had one lit session on a twin tip and got it back .Just relax and go nuts .

Cheers

Thanks guys!

Am off to byron next weekend on a kiting/camping/surfing so fingers crossed that will help.

I feel like the female of Austin Powers searching for Dr Evil and the Mojo!

Hey Caelah, can you give us a report on kiting at byron when your back. Going up or blues fest and trying to decide if bring the kite is worth it.

Bummer... I used to get this from surfing (it is crap in Perth 90% of the time any way)

Yep after a few frustrating sessions and trying a differant set up or even location I can be a bit "not quite there". I put it down to too much distraction...

However when a really good session comes along (as it so infrequently did surfing) it re-ignited the thirst big time!!

Maybe it is something non-kiting lurking in the back of your scone? These things have a way of elbowing their way up front eventually. Or maybe it is just always being around the ocean/waves and you need an absence for a week or so to revist the craving. Try heading bush for a weekend or more?

Hey if we all had Moet (that's mo-ett not mo-ee BTW) for brekkie it would be about as exciting as cornflakes...

Hope you get ya mojo back asap spunky trunks... at very least the winter break will be sure to get the fire slowly building.


As for new tricks - Pat I had a crack at a backroll in 27kts last night on the 9m!!! F**kn Ell!!! I got smashed the hardest and most full on to date!!! I now have shredded (really - completely down one side) impact vest!!! One of those moments when I thought daggin it up in a Gath and vest ist definately the way to go... Bloody sore though... Only managed another 10-15 mins before packing it in..

Up for a downwinder this arvy

It always comes back eventually sometimes a few days sometimes a few weeks.
Maybe your mojo has been working so hard it needs a rest a kinda short vacation.

Thanks

I found my surfing Mojo in Byron at Clarks Beach. Well if you can call what I do surfing, it looks more like a floundering fish on a choping board.

haha....yeah my version of surfing is very similar, much like a beached whale trying to get out of the shallows!

Maybe I should do a big road/air trip to each state in Australia to find the mojo....it'll be somewhere out there!

thanks Oakie....awesome movies!

hit the waves strapless
I was in a rut where i wasn't learning any new tricks for a while. but riding strapless isn't that hard and it made me focus on riding waves rather then just concntrating on tricks. lots of fun without having to push yourself beyond whats comfy

Caelah I know how you feel I lost my mojo for a while , now Im mixing it up and riding alot more in the waves and nothing more excites me now than doing that, Im also lucky to kite with a crew that loves to mix it up and kite different locations.

The Bay is good and its great to have a kite after work but on weekends if you have time there are so many great kiting spots within a two hour drive that are worth going to.If I was just to ride flat water all the time or think that the Bay was it I dont think I would be kiting as much as I am now.

You Just need a big Hug!

Sadly I'm pretty sure kiting is banned entirely in Byron shire

Kiting is allowed at Lennox (just south of Byron).....great spot!

Caelah,

The kitesurfing "mojo", you have it or you don't have it.
If you have it, it is impossible to loose it, unless forced by a disability or something like that.

The AKSA logo, when first started was:

"Kitesurfing ... there is no cure"!!!!, and I still wear this T-shirt with pride.

I had a really hard accident, got trough shoulder reconstruction, haven't been on the water for 4 months already, and I cannot wait for the moment I will be back, with the canopy above my head and the board under my feet, "slashing" through the water.

The only think I can suggest to you, get your priorities right, get into account all you want to do in the future and think about what kitesurfing is offering you.

If it is too little than other thinks you want to do, you never had the "mojo".

I hope you get to the right decision.

Good luck

Silviu

glad to hear you had a good time on sat.

have a great time in Bryon with Terry.

try and keep your chin up.. I'm trying too.

p-nut

Hey cRAZY Canuk.....You're right! I can't find any info on a ban anywhere...I'll ask the person who told me, where they got that idea from.

Hey Caelah.....sorry to branch off topic there.....happy to hear you're getting warmer on the 'mojo' search
