Awesome thank you!

[@t.cichomski1782]

I would love to learn board off while jumping ...cannot overcome this fear somehow... so I vote for this one next :)

[@stevenakkersdijk]

That's a great goal. Check out this video I made a while back, it might help you with the board off steps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHqThXqfmc-kmZo

[@lennyjamz4389]

The steez factor is off the charts with this trick. I might actually need to learn the dark side this year ha

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Oh yes you should! The darkslide on it's own is already a great trick to learn

[@t.cichomski1782]

Nice one bro

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks !

[@yessicavidal7315]

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Glad you like it!

[@ytluckynuts]

Awesome. Need to try that. And great explanation! Where is this spot? Looks so nice there!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Best of luck and enjoy! This is Witsand breede rivier in South Africa

[@johnnycage4598]

Nice Video as always! Next send jump Double frontroll one footer with back Hand heli Loop? 🙏😄

[@stevenakkersdijk]

That's quite the trick you have planned there 😉 Don't think I'll release a tutorial for that any time soon, but I'm sure you can figure out a couple of steps to safely try it 😉

[@corpuskiter]

Seems like a backroll hand drag but just adding dragging the board, or swapping hand drag for board drag, no? 🤔🤙

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Kind of, but the take off is quite different somehow. I was able to do a backroll hand drag but still struggled a lot with the rotation when I first tried this trick.

[@Lily_Pad7231]

Whenever trying this some people like fly/float im gonna ask does it feel like having powers or just pulling yourself in the air?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Feels like you're on the moon and all of the sudden gravity is turned down 😉

[@Simple-stuffz]

Hey does anyone know the kiting location?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

It's witsand, breede rivier in South Africa

[@Sebastian-ow7xx]

What kind of earphones are you using??!!!!!

[@Sebastian-ow7xx]

I mean when kitesurfing!!! Thanks

[@stevenakkersdijk]

The earplugs from iars I'm using are actually for protection rather than music as they help to prevent surfers ear. For music I often use the Shokz Openswim bone conduction headphones as they work perfectly with the earplugs.

[@Sebastian-ow7xx]

@@stevenakkersdijk Thank you so much for the replay and tutorial
