Looks like you've got the whole spot to yourself most of the time, nice stuff!

[@Jochumvideos]

Nice footage, also those 35 knots look pretty chill

Birds eye view 🔥

[@stefanmatlage5416]

Great stuff man!

[@SANDROBOX]

Cool bro! 🤙🤙🤙

[@switchman321]

All good, great riding and all, but the selflaunch in front of the bins? Why?

[@thijslinthorst7698]

There whas no one on the beach to give me a launch.. but yea i know maybe use a safety leash next time😅

[@kitersrefuge7353]

Hardcore! Gotta admire the no nonsense launch and landing. Maybe try Cape Town during the next Dutch winter...KLM flies there directly. ;=)

[@thijslinthorst7698]

Hahha good plan:))

[@floris869]

how about no flying on carbon and acquiese that everything could and should be different due to climate change?

Awesome boogies and late backs bro! Congrats!

[@thijslinthorst7698]

Thanks mate!!

[@dansantospirito5310]

Don't know about the self launch positioning: those two bins looked like they were in a potentially troublesome position at 2:19!

[@thijslinthorst7698]

As you can see i got pulled to the side because of the wind direction so the bins where not a problem.. i guess it looks like i know

[@StagnantMizu]

moet je lessen nemen hiervoor? of kan je dit gewoon doen als je beetje kan surfen, skaten etc en uitzoekt hoe die kite werkt?

[@frederikvanhees4701]

Als je zelfmoordgedachten hebt , dan be my guest

[@StagnantMizu]

@@frederikvanhees4701 ayeee lego

Lessen anders is het te gevaarlijk

[@pedrozunino]

Never tried a contra loops, any tips? Should I just go for it?

[@thijslinthorst7698]

Just sendd it bro! But make sure you got your normal kiteloops dialed in

[@henrispaan7895]

Hoe doe je dat selflanden aan een paal? Wat voor gear gebruik je daarvoor?

[@thijslinthorst7698]

Bij deze spot hebben we idd palen staan daar doe ik een leash omheen en daaraan hang ik mijn kite dan! Zou er wel voor zorgen dat alles stevig vast zit als je gaat zelflanden;)

[@kevinmenino91]

Nice session! What was your kite size?

[@thijslinthorst7698]

9m Enduro:)

[@stephanwxlf]

Nice Video 🙌🏼 what camera did you use ?

[@thijslinthorst7698]

I use the gopro 10 on superview modus, really good camera!!

[@nexusgroupnxt]

hoe lang heb je hier over gedaan om zo goed te worden?

Paar jaartjes!

Gewaagd een self launch in 35 knopen met downwind van de kite die prullenbakken :)

[@thijslinthorst7698]

Volgende keer beter een leash gebruiken idd;)

[@aseuvella6102]

How many years kiting approx. for kiting at 35knots?

[@thijslinthorst7698]

If you feel comfortable than you are ready

[@aseuvella6102]

@@thijslinthorst7698 when did you start (how many years aprox of practice) confortable kiting with that knot speed, just to have an idea?

[@liamheide2851]

@@aseuvella6102 Years dont matter we started as soon as we got comfortable (within 6 months) just start with a smaller kite.

[@6whiteshadows]

Years are is not a good measurement. I know people that have been kiting for 10 years (2 times a year) and still suck. A friend of mine has been kiting only for 2 years (3 times a week) and he rips. I'd say you're ready when you are able to handle gusts and any adverse situations with your kite. Also, make sure you can do a self rescue. Using the QR should be a second nature. 'just get a small kite' is not a good answer, because you have to be able to hold your own and save yourself when things go wrong. You also need skills, not only smaller kite sizes. In 35 knots shit goes wrong way faster than in 15 knots. If you break something, you need to be as intuitive as possible with your kites. Because a broken limb will drain a lot of your attention.. ;) Don't think I'm exaggerating, because this still is an extreme sport. Especially in higher winds. I've seen a lot of accidents throughout the years, and its always better to be safe than sorry. And remember: you don't need to prove anything to anyone. Everything has already been done. It's all about having fun ;)

In the beginning definitely overpowerd but the wind died a bit at the end 😅

[@sebcam9498]

What height did you achieved?

[@thijslinthorst7698]

I didn’t measure it but normally with this wind my kiteloops are around 10m

I feel bad for ur hands. 🥶Geat Clips though🤌🤙

[@thijslinthorst7698]

They get used to it😉

[@6whiteshadows]

I rarely use gloves in wintertime (only when its 5 degrees or lower). They get used to it! Just make sure you have a pair with you if things go wrong and you have to spend a lot of time in the water.

[@huzcer]

@@6whiteshadows open palm mittens imo a good compromise. keeps the wind off the hands if cold but no forearm issues as from gloves
