Sick of this "Lou" worship !

Trust the resident Forum Dum ass,the Spruce Goose, to come up with this !

Lou doesn't even ride anymore!

He was pulling a coupla wake board tricks in the old days when Kite Beach on Maui was the centre of the known Universe.

Its been years now since these Kite Beach crew ruled.

There are young girls doing those tricks now.

The average kiter from hundreds of hot spots can kick their butts !

Anyway,just as a point of interest,if you are going to rate riders,surely the best rider would be the 3 times PKRA World Champ,Aaron Hadlow ????

To answer the question ,there is no "best" rider.Its all in the eye of the beholder.

I still can't get over how dumb Spruce is!

What are you trying to say Kiteboy ??

You need to work on your punctuation and grammar.

Looks like there is someone dumber than Spruce!

user you are obviously an idiot. if you dont know why lou is god then there is no point trying to tell you why, you are doomed to be gay forever and ride with no steeze.
p.s. to the first question, check out andre phillips clips on youtube that man has some steeze.

In defense of the guys who slated Lou, the question was "Who IS the best kiteboarder" not "who WAS the best kiteboarder" so that would put the options down to only a handful of hopefuls include the likes of Aaron Hadlow, Ruben Lenton, Kevin Langaree, Youri Zoon and Alvaro Onieva.

If you were going to include the kiters of yesteryear, then the likes of Lou, Robbie and co would definitely feature as those taking it to the next level, but even Robbie conceded in the Red Bull King of the Air final between himself and Ruben, that "new school would kick his ass" and thats the exact words he used. Kiteboarding has changed since those days and these days Aaron is pulling switchstance tricks that guys in Maui battled with normal.

thanks a lot fellas, youve been a great help .. got some mad clips and some names 4 the best kiters

i understand that kiters expand in seprate areas making some uncomparable, but i get the picture that Lou is favourites in some minds but not in others .. all i was after was some names ..

though reading u guys fight was good 2

but not necessary


Thanks again

Just trying to give you a balanced outlook!

Lou was (is)? an exceptional rider ,of a particular style.

If you are interested in riding in the surf,you won't gain much by watching those vids.

Easiest is to check out the Naish TV site,some great videos there.
Or,Cabrinha,same again.

www.Kiteforum.com has a great video section.You can see a list of "most watched" and read comments about the vids which will give you an idea of who most are watching.You will notice an abundence of mentions of Ruben Lenton.
Check out Aaron Hadlow (3 times and current World Champ)
One of my favorites,Mark Shinn,a great allrounder (Also a former double World Champ).
