Is it true that kiteboarding is cheap in Hawaii!?

amazing video. also amazzing spot, where is that if anyone knows.

Wasaga Beach 1 Ontario eh 14 heat attacks later.. Aboot ta help a buddy out .. Need to fly lol

Thanks!

Very nice explanation. Thanks!

I used this video to work on self launch. Both times I did, I had the line on the underside catch the wingtip and go spiraling out of control. The first time it corrected itself, the second time it did not. It felt very dangerous and uncontrolled.

Thanks Luke, very clear, very instructional. Greetings from Madrid🌊

I've been building mine a few years now since I started wing surfing. It's great to see a nice hand-built front wing. I use 3D printing for all but 1 of my wings. First was composites clad 3D printed core, then a CNC multi laminated ply wing(2650). After that I did all moulds from 3D printed models and laid carbon fibre in them. Necessary for the thinner higher performance ones.

Excellent explanation. Thank you!

Really sound advice. Lots of talking but sharing of good sense.

Luke. Great stuff. Spot on. My no wind life in san diego has taught me to also use a wave surf skill as well. smooth rail to rail carve combined with a little squat and extend, this is all to pump and make speed. Similar to what a surfer does on a wave face. These can be quick or slow but has to be in sync with the kite. Easier said than done. The wiggle is often the make or break for me getting up to speed in a lull or making it into a wave . Cheers

Hi mates. I can’t find the waist strap on their site. Do you know if they stopped making it? Also have you had any issue during a crash with the waist strap selfie stick attachment? I’m hoping to use mine for surfing but concerned if it will hold in the waves

sorry, this is not strong wind as your thumbnail's text. On a 30-40 knots wind you won't be able to pull the lines with bare hands.

Just say like snowboarding

Dude. You’re the man. This is exactly what I was looking for when I decided it was time to try the build myself. I’m a machinist and fabricator by trade so this should be a breeze. I’m super pumped to get going. Thanks for the FREE plans. I’ll def hit you up if there’s anything I did differently and let you know how it turned out. I will for sure be back to buy the mast, hollowed out aluminum is out of my skill set range. Again, You’ll hear from me again, especially if I figure out a way to make an inexpensive mast of the same strength and weight. Thanks again!

Great tutorial, I'm going to do a beach run as suggested.

Do you need to learn how to swim before doing a kite surfing?

curious what wood you are using? I shape surfboards and foil boards and I want to start shaping my own custom foils -using production foils as a template- thanks!

Your explanation is very good but your camera is too much on you and too little on what you are actually explaining - action - movement..even when you pull a line , the camera doesn't show that, show only your upper body and hands doing something... It is just too close to you. We are not def to read your lips... So for me as a beginner video shows almost nothing but I know your every face hair😊

Love your content Luke. I’ve watched all of your wave riding vids and enjoy your relaxed demeanour. What would be the chances of you creating a tutorial for on-shore wave riding with a focus on kite positioning and timing etc? Most vids I see are of cross or off-shore riding which isn’t realistic for most Oz east-coasters and focus on rider positioning as opposed to the kite. Love your work!

Thanks ! I have the Ocean Rodeo bar you used in the video. I always had difficulties doing a clean wrap/unwrap on it. You method is perfect. Wonder why I couldn't figure it out myself. Maybe Ocean Rodeo should include this wrap method in the owner's manual for this bar.

i had a directionnal board ( no volum board 170/48,TT construction , unfortunatly stolen) with straps, like said, straps locks u in position (never learnt to jib,) on the other hand....u can go fast as your feet are in the straps and u can cut hard trhough the waves or jumbping over them (kinda like windsurfing)

thanks

I just picked up a 2015 ozone reo 12m kite all new bladders with original bar and lines for $500aud a 2 seasons used dakine renegade waist harness for $140aud and a 2014 naish hero 140x43 twintip for $200aud but turns out its a wave riding kite i didnt do my research first but from what i have heard the reo is a very versatile kite and can be used as a freeride or all rounder also im only a beginner myself with my first lesson completed so im unsure if i chose wrong or not i havent had the chance to go out and test the kite for myself just yet.

Very helpful! Thank you for this video!😎

I found one of your videos on how to build a foil. Thank you very much there was someone that was selling them but then it was dropped put that taken off so I’m building myself thank you. I’m using phone and some wood. Hope it works. The theory is there anyways thank you for all your help.

Than😊😊

Love this 🎉

Do you believe a wooden mast would hold up?

if I use the wave chicken loop what can I do? Is it possible to connect the carabiner over the quick release?

👍

ALLWAYS GET BACK TO YOU WHEN ASSISTANCE O A LESSON IS NEEDED. YOU ARE GREAT !!!!!!

Hi! Thanks for the design and clarification. Don't you think that the wing section should repeat the same shape along the entire length of the wing? I think the sections should keep similar to each other, and the thickness of the wing should change proportionally with the width. In other words, for example, at a certain distance from the middle of the wing, its width (from the leading edge to the rear) is two times less than in the middle of the wing. Then, I suppose, in this place the thickness should also be half as much as in the middle. Isn't that right? It doesn't work that way from your drawings. And another question: do you think it is possible to make the leading edge of the wing not curved, but straight, directed backwards, like a passenger plane? In other words, so that the wing does not have the shape of half an ellipse, but the shape of two symmetrically folded trapezoids? I want to make the back edge just straight, without a break in the middle.

May I ask what type of kite is ? Is a trainer kite?

Can you also jump high with this harnes? I mean it looks as if the rope could break if you hang from it too much..

Need this spot to train it

What type.of wood you use to fabricate

Brilliant

This really needs to be taught how many lessons to get going?

Awesome

Excellent thanks.

Great video. One of the best explanation videos I’ve seen.

Good tips. Thanks! Where are you guys based at?

My impact vest and helmet have saved my life several times. Nobody ever plans to have an accident. Do you disable your car's airbags because you don't plan to have a crash today? Many experienced riders say that vests and helmets are for beginners... but advanced riders routinely take much bigger risks. If not for your own safety, consider your family who are nervous every time you ride. Wearing safety gear will reduce their stress, and maybe save your life.

thx

Which self land do you prefer.your demo ,where you walk round or where you walk back 😊

Luke's top tip to roll up all 4 lines is important. I had to self recuse and mistakenly rolled up 3 instead of 4. It was a bit of a mess. Luckly I was ok... but it could have gone horribly wrong.

Hi, love your kite tutorials. Thanks. I wonder how does the camera waist harness fit along the kite harness. Noticed there are some questions about it. Would you send pictures? Also, do not you think the chest mount would fit better if put reversed? Meaning the chest side on the back. Believe I saw Stig Hoefnagel with that set up

Good vid . What part of Canada? Im on the island

Hi Luke, any tips on getting upwind toe side strapless
