[@mansefbl]

Thank you for sharing Jake. What kite is this? i didnt know Tona made kites. looks sweet. Just got my Tona pop!

[@patchleeh5036]

Hey jake, enjoying the shreding! 🤙 can we get a proper insight to the tona pulse sometime?

[@mechwar]

Nice video bro!! now the only thing I have to do is to buy a boat!

[@tamarsermoneta4401]

!u r the man!

[@hrzn2624]

looks nice, you can extend your time to unwrap the Bar if you pull some hands of Water on the Big Field of Canopy, the Kite drags slower in the ending Position ;-)

[@antoinesiiince2047]

i WANT TO SEE THIS WITH MORE KNOTS WHEN YOU PULL THE FRONT LINE WITH YOU FINGER TWISTED !!!!!

[@Ronagery]

Hey Jake. You are really getting very comfy at foiling. How long have you been doing this?

[@nemosharkface123]

if only i could make it look that easy😂, i tried launching mine at about 22 knots it was a 7m and i launched it in the power zone and next thing i knew i was being dragged up in the air and about 50m away from where i started till i powered down the kite😂

[@Lucky-uk1bv]

Guess your husband got it all on video... lol

[@lifesbetteronaboard]

still sick!

[@londoned4150]

Hey buddy, I really enjoy your videos please keep them up. Can you recommend a Caribbean destination for a sail/kitesurfing trip this July? I'm looking to come over with my girlfriend from the UK for about 10 days. I'm inspired by your videos and would love to be on a cat like yours!

[@JakeKelsick]

I'd say Antigua or the Grenadines would be a good pick for ya. July is the very tail end of our season though so maybe bring a foil and a big kite. Also, check out a video from a trip we did in the Grenadines last year if you haven't seen it yet, super fun place if you have a Cat to explore. ;) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJCQm5qkiat7bZY

[@gecotztes]

Very solid channel dude.... dont listen to the haters and keep up the good vibes.

[@dayanadayana4154]

Kitesurf Beach Icaraí de Amontada Brazil ,love,esporte.

[@MatsBohlinsson]

Nice boat

[@CharleswoodSpudzyofficial]

You seem to always be riding in light wind. It's impressive

[@kylebakin]

So I'm guessing you just keep pulling your front lines in to bring the kite all the way in when you want to call it a day. Would you be wrapping your lines on the bar during this process? Seems like it could get kind'a sketchy in heavy wind. BTW, heading to the exumas on a 44ft Cat in April so I may be trying this technique. Thanks for the videos.

[@Lucky-uk1bv]

Great video Jake.. but why do you not use a rope harness?

[@bonnardotnicolas6272]

Bora bora, to'u aia here hia!

[@makhily281]

That new Tona kite thoooo

[@JakeKelsick]

+Makhily ayyy 🔥🔥😊

[@AllJazz]

Are there any new boards from tona coming out soon, or is the focus now mainly on kites?

[@JakeKelsick]

+Aljaz D.B. we are gearing up to launch new boards and a kite so stay tuned! Appreciate the love and the interest! 👊🏼

[@BertRoer]

in more windy conditions this seams like so many things can go wrong

[@JakeKelsick]

Like everything with kiting high winds change the game! Top tip if it’s super windy would be to flag it out instead of pulling a front line to get it back in. Reduces the chances of it taking off and going crazy big time. 🤘🏻

[@600RReasons]

Im moving to the bahamas in six months I'll be living in Nassau, any other spots with stronger winds in the area ?

[@JakeKelsick]

+600RReasons that's amazing dude. Should be decent wind down there in winter time. Really want to do a kite trip through the exumas.

[@600RReasons]

Jake Kelsick hey thanks for the feedback I'm also a fan for the last two years here on yt you and Megan inspired me to leave the big city life for good

[@JakeKelsick]

Man, I'm happy for ya!

[@johannsaucier9514]

how do u get the kite back on the boat ?

[@oliverZ28]

Question: Sometimes when I am launching from a catamaran the way you show in this video, the middle lines get twisted with the outside lines. Problem is I only see this when the kite is too far from the boat. I cant use the untangling technique you show in one of your other videos. Any suggestions on what to do when this happens?

[@dandevloo9860]

Use a line manager Keeps your lines straight and you don’t have to drag your lines around the boat as he did then rewrap. What he does works but a lot more work

[@JuriDiesLit]

❤🔥

[@miodice3]

Do you ever do lessons for anyone traveling down?

[@JakeKelsick]

+miodice3 hey dude! Yeah man for sure. I do lessons as well as organize a killer down winder! Let me know if you ever make it down to the islands! 👊🏼

[@miodice3]

wedding and such next year so things are busy but hoping to get away soon. will definitely reach out, looks like a good time down there and way prettier than north east usa!

[@mikhailzhitnikov3715]

Do it only if all together: 1) you are experienced sailor 2) you are experienced kiter 3) wind is less than 20 knots 4) another person of 1)+2) staying onboard I mean 1) and 2) is really important to see some nuances in this technique ) If you watched the video and say - wow that’s what I need exactly! - better forget about launching from boat )))

[@linusfogelberg890]

When will the tona kite be up for sale?

[@JakeKelsick]

+Linus Fogelberg aiming for early next year! 😊

[@cristianohaddock3690]

Need a full tutorial of how to fix or repair kites. Its a real hard one. I guess no one is capable of giving out the detail. Such as how to take the tube and how to put it back. I. Strugling with my Core GTS. Please help

[@JakeKelsick]

Yo dude! Sucks having to fix a kite bit it's pretty straight forward. I think I'll try and make a video on this topic soon. But if you need an answer asap I do online coaching sessions where we can do a video chat and I can show you the whole process of how to do it. Feel free to email me if you'd like to set that up [e-mail] talk soon brew 🤙🏻

[@martinengel3359]

Why dont you leave the lines connected to the kite. They wont tangle that way?

[@Nilz4FR]

The big question is how did you get back on the boat being attached to the kite before landing ;)

[@noah.bischoff7324]

What does big ups mean

[@MassimilianoGatto]

my boat is 5 meters how can i do?

[@moritzjagel6863]

You have to hook, its more fun 😂

[@mbkiteboarding]
