The LAST thing you want to happen when kiting ALONE - EP.6 Scotland

[@borderreiver536]

I cycled the Hebridean Way in 2019 and was blown away by the scenery. I promised myself I’d go back with my kite gear and 5 minutes after watching this video I’m booked and looking forward to going in May.

[@SamLight]

awesome!

[@andrewhurstcars]

Stunning scenery, I was up there last year.

[@kst157]

Great to see you kitesurfing & so glad the death loop in offshore winds was quickly resolved - keeping a cool head and acting quickly is key, as you clearly did. Amazing scenery and thanks for sharing the experiences, appreciated. :)

[@andrewlynch-vz3bt]

Loving your Scotland trip. Having been to the Hebs i can appreciate the balls it takes to solo some of those spots. It’s intimidating the remoteness, deep dark water and sometimes brutal conditions.

[@Chris-vs7hf]

The Stornaway-Footage looks so nice! Seems to be a nice surfspot!

[@davesport62]

Ok, so I discovered your channel purely by chance. What a lovely find! Nice relaxing vibe from your vids, all beautifully filmed with a great soundtrack. Thanks for taking the time to create these, especially the holiday round Scotland. Thx 😀

[@SamLight]

thanks

[@davidkerins]

Fabulous stuff Sam.

[@toms74094ts]

Great video, when I saw the title I had visions of you having a kitemare out in the Taransay channel…. Amazing spot that I’ve winged and kited many times, also solo. Not somewhere you’d want to get into difficulty due to the remoteness and the tidal currents rip through there and out into the Atlantic in an outgoing tide! Love the videos! Scotland has sooo much potential!

[@ypure3859]

Those swell lines at 12.40...sweeet

[@gindjensun]

Another amazing episode of your trip Sam. Really makes me want to explore Scotland for kiting even more! Thanks!

[@Cabrinhakite]

Great spots there sam when it’s on we had a few kite and sup sessions all round the hebs pretty cool and isolated great for chilling ❤️🤙glad you had fun at Luskentire Varsity is another cool one Stornaway offshore session looked fun apart from the death loop 🪁✔️

[@ypure3859]

Great vid!!!!

Nice report! Thanks for it

Great film thanks Sam👍 amazing places

[@Tylerrossoart]

Absolutely love your channel. Just found it. Thanks for the adrenaline brother 🤜

[@flyingfootage]

Great show I like it 🏄🏼‍♂️👍

[@anthonygambi1]

Nice video, we know we shouldn’t take risk offshore wind even not going normally, but we go anyway 😂 and what shouldn’t happen always happen specially off shore my worst kite mare was always on the worst situation like this off shore glad always end up good but we have to be more careful. Wish you all good wind ✌️

[@sebcam9498]

Very nice sceneries and spots. Nice drone views too, not sure about the 400 feet rule though…

[@windjunky]

Nothing like the trusty ol RPM to give you a nice yank

[@TheJ182]

Did you check out North Tolsta beach? One of the most epic spots I’ve kited 👌

[@jurieltrimachi799]

A Great Video, habe you been in Iceland, similar, i would like to kite there

[@andrewfallows1009]

Amazing footage - good work!

[@SamLight]

Thanks!

[@ChristianNally]

I grew up in eastern Canada and the street I grew up on was called Eriskay. Now I know where the name came from.

[@ludwigunger7890]

Next time you go on one of those trips, you take a suscriber which kites!!!! (me) hahaha have a nice one!

[@Sven-cf3ye]

Must have been such a fun trip!!

[@andydunn5673]

Beautiful little film Thanks for exploring and putting it together for us I’m just getting myself going again after a lengthy and having the time of my life. My brother who is a substantially better kiter than me is always encouraging me to wear boots or shoes when but I’m better bare foot. Even in winter in Redcar. Any thoughts on this. Thanks again On never kite offshore , leave that to guys like you

[@ludwigunger7890]

Anazing episode! what a kite spot

[@SamLight]

Thanks! There’s so many amazing kite spots in the outer Hebrides!

Loving the trip but ... offshore , on ya own , remote .......... hmmmmmmm SAM

[@pixeldrew]

That hopecraft is a good looking board, what foil wing were you riding?

[@SamLight]

yea the hope craft is SO good! I was using a PFI 657 front wing with 325 rear tail, my fav kite setup

[@gokucorrecaminos3711]

In the Big Air session , did you use a slingshot machine?? Or a Code ??

[@desmoMarco91]

its a code

[@gokucorrecaminos3711]

@@desmoMarco91 I don't stand why most of the profesional kiters use the Code instead of the Machine , if the Machine is specific for Big Air?

[@desmoMarco91]

@@gokucorrecaminos3711 the machine has better hangtime, but it definitely loops a lot worse and I haven’t even tried it. Just looking at the shape you can tell

[@gokucorrecaminos3711]

@@desmoMarco91 good to know It , I just buy a Machine in 7 mt , I don't try yet to do a kiteloop with It , i thought that the Machine was similar to Rebel

[@desmoMarco91]

@@gokucorrecaminos3711 it kind of is, the rebel is also much slower at kiteloops than an evo for example…their main characteristic is the massive hangtime but they don’t necessarily boost more than the other models and they definitely don’t loop easy at all

[@adil5781]

Hey Sam - do you use an external mic with the gopro?

[@SamLight]

hey, no i don't

[@ypure3859]

Where is that LEFT breaking wave !!!??

[@dpwild328]

Sweet video! What mouth mount are you using for gopro, or are you still just biting three floaty?

[@SamLight]

Thanks, I use the Go pro bite mount with no floaty so its nice and small and can tuck away in my wetsuit - just don't drop it 😆

[@dexxo2000]

Really enjoy your videos, thanks a lot! Looking forward for the next one. :) Might you tell me at which time of the year your trip has been? What would you recommend someone who wants to explore the islands like you did?

[@SamLight]

Hey, thank you, it was September/October. I would recommend lots of research as there are many options and places to visit

[@kyledanielson4288]

What time of year did you go?

[@SamLight]

October

[@joestockman9868]

Yesssss

[@SamLight]

🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@matthewmoir8627]

What's your favorite kite? Machine, RX or Code?

[@SamLight]

machine for jumps, code for kite loops and RPX for freestyle

[@hatchmaker1966]

What twin Tip you riding ?

[@SamLight]

slingshot formula v2 136

[@pwittchen]

Why are you the only kitesurfer in these places? Looks very cool!

[@samjones4667]

There are hundreds of potential spots. With few local sailors and the islands being such a mission to get to, you're just unlikely to be there on the same day as someone else. The psychology of launching from a deserted beach in the middle of nowhere has got to be part of it too. If you could do it as a road trip with some mates I think that would be the way forward, more confidence to push the boundaries a bit

[@truthhurts3896]

Nobody to show off too that's why they don't go

[@gflaig9131]

@@truthhurts3896 If you kite with that mindset, you're just not gonna have fun...

[@nickmay2925]

I know what I'm doing this year now

[@CaspersCuts]

Cool video. I had lines wrapped around bar happen at a similar-looking place Ireland, and after the death loop what's worse lines got wrapped around my hook so neither bar, quick release or lease eject worked. Through luck I found out why the eject didn't work when I reached down to my harness and found the lines wrapped around the hook. the Wish I'd watched this video before that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJKpfHiNeq2hbM0

[@robertevans7801]

Come on Sam, get the name right, Taransay not Tansaray. Ive been kiting there for 15 years a great place

[@ianbardon8581]

Kiting alone, not recommended. 🙄

[@falandosozinho5160]

We need to stop using music with singing squirrels. These high pitch trash everybody is using is really annoying. Come on guys, there are plenty of decent songs available.
