Qoute "I didnt know people were crazy enough to just hold onto the kite, relying only on upper body strength to keep them attached to the kite, thats just stupid"

Its called riding unhooked... how bout u get a board and a few more lessons before u start giving advice!

Plus looping your kite on the beach at a packed out pinnas is not crazy just really stupid!!maybe stop watching len10 and start with kitesurfing 101...

hahaha infinidie, im sure you will regret saying any of that once you have been kiting a while.

if i was to crash to hard unhooked theres a good possibility i would activate the leash QR, its the same with a lot of people. Its generally a safety device thats a 100% necessary[if you want to be safe] so your comments are ill-informed and the land kitelooping thing is just looked down upon for its pointless risk taking.

I kitelooped on land at pinnas a couple weeks ago, dont have a board yet u know, so i just tried what i saw Len10 doing, landed pretty sweet but that 14 turns like a bitch, was more of a downloop.

and I didnt know people were crazy enough to just hold onto the kite, relying only on upper body strength to keep them attached to the kite, thats just stupid.


oh and as for you KDA thanks mate, I dont get that problem as I made my own chicken Finger from an oldschool Flying Objects semi circle harness thingy, sits nice and tight on my spreader and locks the chicken loop in place, but getting out is kinda hard in a rush.




you are a tool

Hey INfiniDIE
did you know that on light wind days you can fill your kites leading edge with helium? You'll boost waaaay bigger. [}:)]

What happens when you get separated from your kite?

Personally, I suffer from separation anxiety and have to resort to self medication.
