Just getting my waterhousing all dialed in for the season so my buddy James went for a quick swim in some freezing water and got some pretty sick shots. Decided to throw into a strapless montage and this is what came out.
You can watch it here:
Nice! Really good angles.
What camera and housing were you using and what did you upload as? Came up pretty well. Looks cold, you had booties on?! haha.
p.s.
Now you just gotta learn to pop your fakie backside flips, and unhook. Then you've got it dialed
.
nice 1 patrick ,it wasgood to to see ya in action while you were here in west oz and demo the unerground boards at kitestock keep up the good work...
froth on
If this is Patrick that was up Dongara for Kitestock, I think he has exceptional talent, was not comparable to other wave kiters I've seen so far and probably would be totally restricted with straps
He rides the surf board like a skate board with similar style, so when would you put straps on a skateboard?
.
.......that said, 75% of wave kiters would benefit from using straps, instead of stepping over their limits
Not!
Yeah some nice angles good editing and some nice riding. Got me all ampt for some more big winter riding.
Will someone please put up some more strapless rippage videos. I'm in need of some...
In the meantime, here's a pretty cool vid about Jimmy Taylor breaking his back in the surf pound, near Cape Town. Nicely shot on GoPro HD, with slo mo film and commentary. Watch the lip crush him (not the wave he broke his back on). It is a bit painful to watch, but interesting. You don't often see the whole thing so well...http://www.jamestaylorsurfing.com/surfing/the-barrel-that-broke-my-back/
