Fiji - Big Windsurf/ Kitesurf Cloudbreak

The island of Tavarua has made its name as a premier surf spot, but that's not all it's about, sometimes there is more in the air than a light tropical breeze. Jason Polakow, also a windsurf pioneer of dangerous Teahupoo and Kitesurfer Ben Wilsongo go out to Cloudbreak to set the next standard in their sport.

Both these guys are maniacs. The windsurfer KILLED it! Good video !

[@Waterwaystravel]

Great footage guys! Yeah Tavarua has some epic places to Kite Surf, especially when the Southeast trade winds pick up!

Haha Announcer has no clue! Great windsurfing!!

[@neiss2]

There was just one guy surfing, Jason. The other one in his kite was a freestyler that didn't know what he was doing there with his big "C" kite and happy enough each time he left the big wave behind in shaky legs..

[@TKM11370]

err he was just sitting on the shoulder... the kite was always pulling him.

[@bradleynixon8651]

Ben didn't even do anything but ride away from the wave

[@tonyrusi1978]

What did you expect him to do with a 15 ft high mast in front of him?

[@rukind69]

The announcer is not the best - by a long shot....Jason P definitely got into more critical parts of the wave

[@marconicolini5179]

we can see how useless is a kiteboard on the waves. Ridicolous

[@haydenmossop]

announcer was a kite surfer obviously ,,, windsurfing was way better than kite surfing

[@meljwhit01]

dont forget jp is top of his sport and ben is way not but windsurfing is way better in offshore conditions as the kites sit over the back of the wave also ben is back side, so watch this space over the next few years as the sports progress. power to both,push the boundries,to many people cant see past their own agendas????

[@nikhi1595]

Well, but JP durchs regular footed At hookipa and goofy St cloudbreak Whyte cant The kitesurfer do that to?

[@meljwhit01]

windsurfers have no option they have to face the wave due to the mast and boom,kiters can choose to ride ffrontside or backside either way just like surfers can .but most surfers will have a forhand backhand prefrence.so ben is a natrual footer also he has no straps attaching him to his board.very hard to do in those condtions.now take a goofey footer on a straped kite board and you would be impressed,also many kiters choose to ride frontside both ways mostly ex windsurfers like me.hsving windsurfed for 25 years in big waves around taranaki and now a kiter i just wish people would respect both options and not get uptight, ps dont know how i ended up using my daughers page????

[@TheSlipperysally]

[@ottosurfer]
