  1. i often ride with my rear foot rammed up against the rear wedge on the back deck pad how else will the board turn like a surf board is designed for - me thinks you need to leave the twin tips at home and serve your apprenticeship and put in some hours - its fun being a learner again
  2. gybing and tacking with straps is ALOT HARDER geoff distribution of weight etc etc without straps more difficult firstly getting out through big lumps of white water and then of course riding the wave start on flat water learn the basic core skills of carving and weight distribution and then turning wide/tight or even better slam gybing so you dont lose ground downwind - tacking is a very difficult skill i rarely see others even attempt... its all fun and its all i do when i get to the beach :/

    swop

    i have a set of four unused 25m kitesurfing lines stripped from my caution bar unwanted happy to swop for set of 20m lines that are in unused/excellent hardly used condition mart @ blackpool
  4. not joined bksa this year cos every year they run the wave comp in some far flung location with a week long time slot with no gurantee of wind and no chance of taking a week off in term time - cannot justify the cost - there is a reason less and less compete - plenty of lads around here ripping up the surf that would do well in comps long weekends on a roll over to guarantee good conditions = more opportunities for working family man! do i sound bitter/envious looking at those images - damm right - looks world class cross off have a great comp mart ripping it in.... blackpool :/
  5. ive waited many years to actually think at last something worthy of debate well done naish - if what i read is true then other brands might have to react to the price and innovation - its been a long time since the waroo really grabbed my attention for quality and performance... Kiteforum.com • View topic - Naish mid-season catalog reveals no-strut kite! if these work and do what the claims suggest at the price being quoted its finally a step in the right direction to honest and fair pricing right back to work
  6. athleticism is the key word - you wont get to a good standard if you carry weight - the top guys in any sport usually would be capable of attining high standards in other pursuits - put simply they have the body types, train and adapt and skill acquisition to reach the highest standards.....sadly this sport prohibits alot of young potential entering the water through cost alone.... go down to any gym club... convert a few and id guarantee a future bksa champion... freestyle is entering the realms of gymnastic ability - its all about the young guns powering through their agile moves and its fantastic to watch and try and understand...old school and big air is just that....old.... and a different universe in skill...thats why so few can achieve such dizzy standards...... do you really believe toby would be pointing his toes if he could do even basic handle passes? i think not...hes found a far easier niche and is milking it...great to watch nonetheless and great to try and please the crowds because...its achievable to a larger population of riders.... bigger/larger body types have only an advantage where contact sports/strength outside of weight divisions is allowed - athleticism..... ive taught you well now go hit the gym cos there aint enough lean mean machines on the beach pushing it ride safe mart....
