Name your favorite kiteing move and why.

At our local hot spot we are lucky to have 2-4 ft rolling bay waves plus a flattish corner for tricky stuff.

Big air is always on, but our group is fiercely competative learning new tricks, looping and board off stuff.

I really like to see big floaty jumps, landed of course, but there is also something to a big wide carving gybe with plenty of spray ............

... mine is a good old carve with a hand drag!!! Nothing special but fun for ya soul!

hand drag back roll tranny....easier move than I first thought.

Oh yeah. I'll throw a boned grab in my wave to wave jump.

I do like a little bit of upside down.

Also stupid fast down the line. Forget the pocket and just scream as fast as you can along the face laying down big speedy carves. Works best in cross off double head.

About to get slammed by a monster pitching wave? Boost over the monster as it slams beneath you. Look down at the madness bellow and think "thank **** I timed that well."

Jumping boulders on the landboard. That adds precision to your jumping.....
Anything fast and sideways in the kitebuggy.... Riding sand dunes in the buggy is super lush.
Powered 25 knots with the trainer kite and the longboard skateboard on some super smooth concrete. Epic smooth carves, Smoother than the smoothest flat water you have ever kited......

Sorry. I got off track.

Back on track.

Storm riding. Take on the monster swell in 30+ knots..... Never a dull moment.

Kitesurf a glassy wave on a big door with no fins In ultralight wind.

Blaze an epic down winder.

My favourite trick is boosting to a significant altitude and then pulling both safety releases and doing a bomb dive from 40 foot up. My friend Aaron Hadlow refers to it as a "frontside powered rum-ball"

boosting high and then looping the **** out of the kite, if the kite catches u in time it feels amazing if it doesn’t the knees cop a beating.

Back 313, 313, and BJ's don't know why, I just love doing them, and I'll do them all day long

Back roll with two kite loops.... one on the way up and one on the way down to take the heat off the landing

I like hanging between the shore and the first shore break,

racing out sliding the board upwind in the sand filled shorey and throwing the kite downwind over my shouder and either downlooping it or kitelooping,

getting that slingshot overpowered effect and hanging on charging down the line,

hooking back in towards the dry sand and sliding the board upwind at the last second sending the kite downwind and looping it getting that similiar overpowered slingshot

effect but this time only being in an inch of water,

hoping timing it with water running up the beach and not running into wet sand and faceplanting Hahaha

Pretty much real life video game

I love playing with nature ...

Each to their own I guess

Good old body drag

Lines shouldn't be twisted after a back roll kite loop

Wow. Sure is different here. I'll go back to the other side now.
