doesn't matter what he rides.
he was at hookipa,lanes and kanaha pioneering the sport alone with a few other stand out watermen while we looked on.
not many people can be at the forefront of a new sport and be so pivotal with its worldwide acceptance.

lou can ride whatever he pleases, he will always smash it.

Yeah, that Psycho3 looks wicked! Hope we see some vids of Sebastian in action. Not sure about the Lou rumour, he was probably just wearing a Flysurfer beanie. Might see some Psycho3's later in the year youngy? Septemberish?
Benn- worried about your future there mate, first Rhys and homemade foils now you and buggies....maybe oldschool is the new newschool? Kiteski anyone?

That's me Benny, how u going? Saw you got some good competition results, nice one! Buggybrothers representin eh? Get down to "speed week" at sandy point when it happens and try to clock some buggy speed records.

Looks like the Lou and Flysurfer thing is true-

"Lou and Armin (from Flysurfer) spoke about this trick, the Flyloop. Lou is quite interested in a trick like this and rumours say that Armin will design a special kite for Lou to enable him to perform this Flyloop.

Flyloop: kiteloop where rider goes right above the kite. Mandatory: fly the kite directly on it's bridles. So, almost impossible to do on a C or bow kite because the lack of bridles and ubershort lines would pull the shape out of the kite.

Chris Tronolone offered his services to make a vid of this very trick featuring in his next promotional vid, so we can expect quite a high quality video featuring the Flyloop.. "

Just updating a bit of forum gossip, one of the tronolone bro's posted this on KF
"And just to clairify he has been riding the Flysurfer Product. Why you may ask? Because he wants to. The kites work well for Lou and we are filming Lou's new part with Flysurfer Kites."
"Lou wainman is with The Tronolone Productions crew filming on a flysurfer kite!!!! Beleive it!!!!!
Still ripping harder than anyone"

and from kiteboarder,uk-
"He has Psycho3s and Pulses.
He also has his own kites which he recut from the old Wipika Airblast patterns.
Yes the old Airblast, because with a few mods it is still one of the best Tubekite outhere.
One of the reasons for Lou to lean towards the Flysurfer concept is the ability to fly it on 5m lines without distorting the shape of the kite.
You try and put 5m Lines on a tube and the shape is gone, even worse with a ARC kite.
Heavily bridled Bows could work but the tips still get pulled in too much and the kite flies pretty bad. "

Looking forward to seeing some video.

Maybe someone should tell lou about kites that already do that trick on 0m lines, their called windurfers.

5m lines is ridiculous....
