KITE MARE!! How to Destroy a KITE!! - Court In The Act Ep.123

So some times you win, and some times you loose... It is after all what makes the adventure so much fun. Exploring new spots and testing out places to ride is not for the faint hearted and definitely not for people who don't know what they are doing. Don't try anything like on this video as it can definitely end worse than this so I think I was lucky to get away with it un-scathed!
I finally get to ride a secret spot on the south coast of the Isle of Wight during a nice 40 knot storm, with some big waves and side, side-off winds it was firing! The o only issue was the launch, so I enlisted the help of the Kite Launcher to get me safely onto the water...
Testing out the new 2021 Duotone Rebel, this was a session to remember!! Lucky I had the new GoPro 9 with me to stack the POV of the hammering :)

Legit kite mare. Thanks for showing that. Most guys would be too proud share that footage. You handled it like a champ. Total respect....

[@phlipphloop4842]

Rebel on the rocks. A hell of a drink. Initially giving lots of fun, before the hangover takes over and you even forgot where that bar was.

For sale: Duotone Neo and strapless board

Now, this looks more real and close to daily kitesurfer wipe-outs everyone might have no matter the lvl. Out of the glamour gopro hilight only, type of kitesurf videos. Thanks for sharing Tom!

[@alanlysne]

Props for the recovery of all your gear and doing it with a GoPro in your mouth. Wow. Also a reminder to us all - stuff happens out there.

[@Nigel141]

Tom, glad to see you mad it through that safe, gotta say that was one of the best real life, real situation, rear, shit happens to all of us videos I have watched in a long time. Gripping stuff.. Look forward to the next upload, maybe a bit of 10 knot steady foiling Tom for starters. 👍

[@ernstkleynhans1695]

Great combo of wave shredding and resilience! Glad you made it out alive mate!

[@touch107fm]

Dam that was a good insight into a bad kitemare!!!! Just found the channel loving the vids. Keep up the good work!

[@d161talme4]

Thanks for documenting such nasty experience.

[@strekke1986]

Awesome footage, thanks for sharing. Those of us that have been kiting long enough eventually all have gotten into these type of "oh shit" situations. Looked narly af - glad you didn't get splattered on the rocks at least! One for the books for sure. Props for going back for the kite though - I would not have bothered at that stage (especially not if I was sponsored lol), it looked completely fucked. Better to come back the next day and fish the gear out in calmer waters...

[@andyjones5120]

Great stuff Tom....reminds of many fun days there back before I moved over here to west of Ireland!!! Riggit had a few swims there too back in the day but yours takes the biscuit !!!see ya🤙

[@MicBergsma]

Man! That’s scary, glad you are safe and got all gear too! My kite got leaked when I was out two miles away from beach for downwind ride with three friends, lucky i didn’t kite alone so my friend towed me from riding behind him with his harness and other friend grabbed my kite and we all went back to the beach safe, I filmed all that... this video remind me to edit that video haha

[@ryanwolf7252]

so many thoughts! first thanks for having the confidence to share your "bad day" , it shows what can happen to the best of us. second, your barefoot rescue of your kite and lines was frightening, i don't thing i could have managed, i would have come back with shoes or booties.

[@xxxjohnblaney]

Great 'real world' video Tom. Think you've gone up in everyone's estimation, for showing what can happen to any of us. Recovery looked rough but the water entry at start, walking over slippery boulders with wind gusting was super sketchy. Falling or getting dragged on rocks wouldnt be pretty

[@albericsarrazin4250]

crazy video!!! watch it a couple of time to understand how... I am glad I'm not the only one having this kind of sesh... last time i ended up untangeling my kite from a tree... looking for a new second hand now by the way haha ... one quick quest why didnt you took the fish board this time? 've seen you ridding a couple of times in previous videos? also what size is/was your board?

[@sammcneil1213]

Aye, sketchy start for sure, all going so well to, gives us intermediates a wee boost to see the Pros getting into a stooshy, no offence Tom. Awesome video.

[@hummingbird2256]

The rebel looked super. And nice session. Bad luck, glad the knee held out. Iron man.

[@TheBendalina]

I’m after a 2021 Rebel! But I do expect a good discount. 😉 glad your ok.

[@kitermike5955]

Man how did I miss the t shirt comp- please run another one Tom! Wickid

[@Popas1]

Good to see that you manage well to get out of that kitemare ! How bad the kite ended ? It seems that it could be repaired and be used again for these kind of sketchy sesh. Where I live we also have rocks in front of a wave garder and that also happens often, luckily I never been caught in. Cheers and keep shreding !
