Do you love big boosts? 😍 Then check this out! bigairkite.com/collections/jump-height-tees

[@JonasTamaliunas]

I haven't been in Makani beach, but I usually go to Kitepower (that is few hundred meters upwind). Very nice place, but you need shoes because of corals and shells.

[@KitesurfingBeginner]

Absolutely loved it! Your choice of location adds a whole new dimension to the experience. I'm scouting for picturesque spots for my next kitesurfing video. Thanks for the ideas!

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks so much!

[@wernerxldata]

Love the video again ! Was wondering, is this spot also good in winter ? Say from december to february ? I'm looking for a good spot close to europe, flat water and good wind of course ;)

[@ericpouliotfrechette9702]

This spot look like epic. Thanks for the "Spot Guide Video". This is great. :)

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks for watching amigo! 🙌

[@shaynestirling]

Love Makani.. And the beach boy are legends..Be back next year for sure!!! Awesome vid Mike..

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks Shayne! 🙏🫶

[@80lives]

Affordable, Mike? are you serious? That's insane, especially in Egypt, where anywhere else in the country outside the tourist traps you can get by with 10$ a day. 3$ coffee is Australian standard, that's absolutely crazy.

[@gethighwithmike]

Yeah I guess it's all relative 😂 The cheapest *good coffee* I've found anywhere in the world is about $2, and that's in Cape Town. By contrast, a coffee in New York or California is often as much as $6. So if a good coffee is $3, I'm for sure gonna call that affordable. But again, it's a relative term 👻

[@brunorodriguesmaso]

I agree, been to Egypt for the second time and confirmed it's a tourist trap. There's other better and "safer" places to go kiting. There's nothing special about it Mike. Sorry

[@Ryy22]

Gonna agree here as well, very expensive with inflation now and avoiding Egypt because of the tourist trap and hecklers

[@tmotten]

Awesome vid as usual. Live the angle to really see what you're doing and when. Is a 10 or 12m too big to try to kiteloop with? You seem to throw them no worries still. I'm in Cumbuco now with 20knots being the common speed so large kites for the heavy boys.

[@AverageKiteboarder]

So nice! Those jumps are insane... i'm practicing hard still (i made a quick video on that also). Your videos inspire me to make videos myself. Keep it up!

[@przemysawmarciniec5180]

I have never understood using compressors, you have to warm up anyway so pumping the kite is good part of a warm up. I’m going to soma bay for a week in November. The trip is already paid so I can not change to el gouna, but I believe soma bay will be equally awesome!! I can’t wait for the trip bcs now it’s pretty cold in Poland.

[@komonca5914]

Go for an downwinder to Utopia Island if you are in Soma Bay.

[@gethighwithmike]

Hang in there! :D and enjoy the trip

[@DobreBiurode]

Hi, Do you have any tips for riding in salty water without getting a stuffy nose?? Every time I go for a kite trip outside the Baltic Sea, I end up with a stuffy nose and snoring after the first session on the water. Thanks!

[@ravarious181292]

Mike, a question about the XR Pro now that you've flown it longer and I'm sure you've borrowed it to intermediate riders. If you are an intermediate kiter who is training hard to do kiteloops with the 9 (where I kite there is not so much wind) at 4-6 meters, is it a good idea to switch from the xr8 to the Pro? I see how other kiters do much easier with other kite brands that the kite catches you, so I am almost thinking of changing the brand, but Core is just of the quality just better. What do you think, is there a big difference? I'm glad you're doing more videos again!

[@adamshibli5565]

Great question, im in the same situation and im so confused about to bring the pro or to bring quicker kite from another brand for loops… i tried others 5 struts kites like north and duotone and they were much quicker and more forgiving with kite loops… but in the same hand i didnt like their material quality.

[@criscontz2536]

I have a xr8 9m loops are hard to do with one hand on the bar, I try loop board off. I also have a nexus 3 10m and it's easy to loop but is harder to go high. Soooo... maybe evo dlab for me ..

[@TchevroA]

nice video mike ! The Beach club, the vibes and the food is great but the spot has some issues. Its not that deep, there are many corals and asshole snails. Learning new tricks like board offs is quite scatchy because you have to keep an eye on your landingzone otherwise you can hit the corals sometimes. You need shoes while you kite because of the underground in the water :(

[@gethighwithmike]

For sure I'm always keeping an eye on the water level. I normally only send it in the safe areas and during the high tide :)

[@TchevroA]

@@gethighwithmike I Just wanted to add some more Infos. Keep going !:)

[@schrauberguru3850]

Not a Shell, it is a snail 😉 keep away from shore, only posers are in Front and you will Not hit any snail

[@mdsdrivingschool-ly5pi]

What length lines do you use for the best loops' performance?

[@gethighwithmike]

22m are the sweet spot for height and great loops 🤩

[@ttanda7683]

What sort of camera setup do you use for those jump shots.

[@gethighwithmike]

I use the Insta360 and the Sail video system, which you can get at gethighwithmike.com/sail and gethighwithmike.com/360 Make sure you get a warranty with your 360 purchase because a few of mine have broken 🙄

[@artyrbelski]

stupid question but where you take this nice insta360 camera mount?

[@gethighwithmike]

I use gethighwithmike.com/sail

[@gethighwithmike]

Also, there are no stupid questions! 😛

[@asdfqwertz9885]

Would love to see less of this fish eye perspective. Looks like an art project, lol! Love the content, keep it up 👊

[@cvynt9756]

I agree, fish eye perspective is is so bad. I wonder if a lot of people really like it. I sure as hell hate it.

[@kst157]

Funny - I’m the opposite here - I really like it as we get to see the full kite movements in parallel … super useful. 👍

[@schrauberguru3850]

Perfect, lets meet with other 1000 kiters on water... There is No need publish... Damn, what is what We want? Flat water, sun, orphaned places. Everybody is publishing El Gouna... IT ends in overtourism, a Land without drinking-water, yeaha.

[@hatemwalid]

awesome video mate

[@gethighwithmike]

Thank you bro!
