spam but i will play along...

I actually liked the teaser. the dude with the long hair who we are speaking of is def using some type of attachment/adhesive in some of the shots. (on the hyperlite and the surf board)

no reason to delete the thread?? if the dude would've just said 'check out this new kite surfing trailer' then everyone would be fine with it. at least give him credit for clever marketing

Hahaha, just watched the clip (before I only looked at the photo and assumed based on other kite videos what he was doing). Clearly they Videophotoshopped it.

deanbutt, you can do that behind anything, when my buddy does it his foot is way further back though.


You have video of this? Cause I think no way it can be done - unless you have super velcro or some other cheat


It def can be done on a regular wakeskate. I do it behind boat ski or w/e not even turning. I have video to "prove" it too.

How do you keep from sliding out? I've tried this and when you lean back the bottom foot slides forward quickly. I can do it when starting for a bit, but when riding at speed, no way.

cut out toe side and after you are kind of far out do a 90 degree butterslide so your chest is facing the boat or ski and lean all of your weight on what is you back foot and keep your chest over the board. You have to get a feel for it. And if you fall from catching your edge you do a perfect front flip every time lol

Cool....do you have a vid link that I can study...want to learn this

When you say '90 degree slide' you mean your toes are pointing at the pull and the bottom of the board is 90 degrees away from the pull (ie; perpendicular to the pull?)

That, unfortunately, is the lame side of kiteboarding. AKA - Most of the sport.
