Now what excuse will they use to prop up their terminally ill past time?

They're only on the wave face for a short time, a manouvre or 2 and then they're gone, alot of the footage gets cut before you see wether they made it or not, so that basically means they didn't... as far as actually riding waves goes, I don't think this clip does much to indicate that kites can ride waves as well as windsurfers...

ps, i am a kiter...

Its more wave riding then getting towed into teahupoo on a poleboard by a jet ski then pretending to actually sail it.

Hey Carbine you obviously didnt see the picks of Polakow smacking the lips into huge aerials, you should also watch his vid and others to gain a knowledge of waveriding on a wind powered craft....by the way kiting on a wave is the same as being towed..why the **** cant you tools see it? it is so funny!

Ive sailed with him at hookipa too User, for you to say that "average" kiters rip harder.........hoooolllllyyy crap...your not serious are you?

You know what who gives a flying **** which sport rips harder, you go fly your kids kite and i will go ride my windsurfer...opinions will always clash.

polesurfers have dominated over kiters in the waves (only) for a very long time...but that is definitely changing! Dont judge the talent of kiters on the waves from that short clip though! The exact same thing happens in poelsurfing trailers...
I have always thought windsurfers were better on the waves but if you watch some of the local crew like Ryland, Mike, Andy etc I promise you that you will start to rethink your opinion!
And if you still dont believe me, watch Spack Monkeys 2.

Even better...WAVE STATES ON THE 11 & 12!

man this is the stupidest **** i have ever read. are you actually trying to say that kiters can ride waves better than windsurfers? kiters cant even do a roundhouse cut back or half decent aerials over sections without getting teabagged. i think we should ask some top surfers what they think and you would have the answer. And saying that most kiters rip better than polakow is the stupidest thing anyone has ever said, have any of you actually been to hookipa and watched polakow, levi, ponch and many others ride for real? because that **** is legit, no kiters rip hard like that in that size surf all they can do is play survival or do lame hooked in teabag cut backs.
and just for your infomation i have been top in windsurfing and kiting in the waves and i am also a decent surfer so i think i know whats up.

This video, is a statement about how far kiting has progressed in waves, those guyz rip!!

Kitesurfing in Waves = Excellent, with Huge Potential

Windsurfing in Waves = Excellent, MastFoot Pressure adds a dimension different from surfing and kitesurfing

Surfing in Waves = Excellent, more freedom and intimate, but limited aerials

All 3 sports are brilliant, each having it's own unique element! For glass windless dayz, nothing beats surfing! Windy dayz down the line, is hard to beat windsurfing, and Kitesurfing wow the aerial dimension is limitless, and itz a baby, the whole sport is evolving so rapidly, feels like unlimited potential!

What helped me with the 3 sportz was to accept each one as it's own unique sport and not say one was better than the other, or it didn't do this or that. All 3 are brilliant sportz, at the moment I'm trying to get good at kiting, so have put windsurfing on the backburner, I'll never get good in the waves at kiting, If I forever go back to windsurfing coz I can do more on waves. I'm learning the new sport of kiting, and I think in waves is where it's at it's most technical, I need to spend a cuopla years trying to master this at least, and these videos, show the potential, even if the average bloke like me will never get to that level, at least I know what's possible.

we'll just take your word for that assmaster

I will say this,i actually do have some respect for some kiting but the fact none of you cockheads have respect for an AUSSIE like Polakow who has the balls to windsurf teahupoo really makes my blood boil.you dicks spin **** on this forum and you have no respect...for ****s sake most of you havent even windsurfed,and i think the real problem is that you **** do know windsurfing is more hardcore but your all to bloody jealouse.

I think Polakow is a genius, maybe coz I've got a wsurfing background, Peto, look some of these guyz on forums are just teenage kidz with no idea about anything, and some people are just narrow minded and insecure about their own stuff, Don't join them in their crap, you'll never convince them anyway, save your energy for wavesailing!!

ok lets set this thing straight. i never said kitesurfing wasnt good in the waves, i actually think its great and i use my surfboard and kite alot more than i use my windsurfing gear. what i was angry and very much puzzled about was how you could slam windsurfing in the waves and also how you could slam polakow? for gods sake the man a ****ing freak when it comes to sports, surfing, windsurfing, motocross. And dear Carbine it seems like you really dont respect anything ecept kiting, why is towing in a windsurfer stupid? surfers do it all the time, and what makes you sound even stupider is that we (kitesurfers) are being towed in every time we ride a wave. Carbine i think you need to try windsurfing or at least kite near someone that is ripping in good wind strong waves to see what its actually about, the reason you probably think its lame is because all the windsurfing you have ever seen is when you are also out kiting and when it actally gets windy enough and the surf gets big you run home or off to some flat water spot.

Towing-in polesurfers at Chopes was a great stunt.
Images like that sell windsurfing magazines and vids.

To be honest Peto,
I've never thought of kiting as being towed.
You're probably technically correct I guess.
However, it just doesn't feel like that (to me).

It feels more like 3D sailing with a rig that's completely free of the board.
It's fucn alien which makes kiting in waves fun,
but don't tell anybody.

slave.

no im not retarted but i think i realise why you dont understand about windsurfing tow ins, because you never windsurfed!!!! hay!!
the reason behind towing in on the windsurfer is really very simple and smart, you tow in because it is not windy enough to sail in, once you are on the wave you have aparent wind generated by your speed on the wave and you use the waves energy to ride it. the up side being the wave is nice and glassy to ride and looks great on film, this is all happening when it is not at all possible to kitesurf.
the main reason i think you dont understand carbine is because you are used to being teabagged down the line at a hundred miles a hour, where you have no need for staying in the poket and riding the wave. where as windsurfing you are only using your sail as a method of catching the wave once you are on the wave you are using its power and surfing it.

your post is just one big contradiction.
