Excellent Vid Jake, not many people realise that you need to learn how to ride downwind :)

[@carlbildt7891]

That Tona kite looks awesome, just in regard to the graphics.

[@MrBigsTube]

Nice drone action shots! Might be worth repeating that it's important to release the line pressure on the downloop by pointing the board at the kite throughout.

[@richardhuber5480]

Excellent. Here chatting with your dad today and Meghan yesterday at coral reef bbque!

[@patrickmcintosh3173]

Jake, do trick trips on how to jump start (beach to water) and riding jump transitions! Love your content, Big ups!

[@OneLaunchKiteboarding]

liked the way you talk about the fails. very realistic !! I usually make the people start looping from bodydraging as this exercice limits the crashes and reveals the piloting issues... I guess u know what I mean... always a pleasure to watch your edits, they are 10.000 miles away from mine quality wise ;) anyway good piece of work mate, such a good topic to teach people how to go downwind !

[@JakeKelsick]

+One Launch Kiteboarding thanks for watching! Really good advice on starting from body dragging 👊🏼

[@perry9900]

This looks sooo smooth.. i just can't imagine the hours it takes to ride this confident

[@wadimgirivenko5097]

Compared to skateboarding it's actually pretty easy in my opinion if you'd kite a whole week from morning to evening you would already have no problem with riding and small jumps

[@AdamGuild]

Headed to Brazil for Downwinder. This was awesome. Thank you.

[@dpwild328]

[@herbertmianowski8883]

Nice vid fam:)

[@bezaid]

Nice🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@Grze9898]

It easy if underpowered, kiteloops are not safe if you are overpowerd. I did not realize how hard is to go downwind until I was in the middle of the bay 5km from the shore, and my friends changed their mind to go straight downwind. I was good overpowered on 10m. Finally I lost my board and got the the beach by body drags. Board found couple hours later.

[@kokuaconsulting9320]

What beach is This? I love the area.

[@whillshrill2568]

hey man what’s the into song u use thanks

[@jochemterhorst7240]

How do you ride in such shallow water at 3:08 wont your fins get stuck in the sand?

[@JakeKelsick]

Jochem ter Horst I actually ride without fins which allows me to slide up and down the beach without getting stuck 😉

[@jochemterhorst7240]

Aaaah cool! isn't it a lot harder to kite upwind without fins?

[@jelmerth]

ha, i wanted to ask same question, but before i thought maby, maby someone asked it before, bedankt Jochem,

[@quadviewnw7665]

What kite bar assembly are you using in this video?

[@JakeKelsick]

I'm using Tona's Connect Kite bar - tonalife.com/product/connect-bar/
