sweet riding man...
never seen someone unhook so early before a trick, like your style though!
what camera is the first one, much better than the second.

Thanks for posting, its great to see what tricks people are pulling, get's me inspired!

Great Stuff!

Did you enter the comp on the w.e?

I thought you have to have the Kite lower for wake style, low so there is absolutely no pop coming from the Kite (similar to the pull wakeboarding), and use the waves as your primary pop for the trick. Is that correct?

@Drury

Of course there is always pull from the kite but if you sit the kite a meter off the water there's no vertical pull and complete horizontal pull. Similar to wakeboarding. If you have it at 45 degrees then you have equal vertical and horizontal pull.

@Hayden

To answer your original question. Wakestyle is not just having your kite nearly in the water and going off of chop/kickers it is performing any wakeboarding move (ie. Slim, Mobe, KGB, Front to blind etc.) either off of flat water with your kite low or off of kickers.

Exactly Beersy.. and let's not forget rails!

Can we confirm that is not a c-kite. so really, you don't NEED a c-kite to pull those moves.

The Wainman's are Delta SLE (not C Kites) and in my opinion work great. I tune mine so it turns slow.
Any kite that works well unhooked can be used for wakestyle or freestyle. Some kites work better than others, but that's also a matter of personal preference. Lots of people have been doing unhooked tricks on Cab switchblades for years, and they are a true bow profile, but very different to a crossbow which is also a bow but not designed for unhooked riding.
C kites continue to be awesome for unhooking and there is no doubt some C's are way better than others.

very nice!!!
