Awesome shots. Thanks for sharing the stoke.
What I want to know is does the guy in shot 4 make the top turn (looks like the start of a sail backwinding along the leech, and a lip about to start it's pitch downwards) - regardless, the dude rips in this and the other shots
Shot 5 looks like a new Simmer FSW - which by the look turns very well in serious conditions
Had an inkling that it might have been good up there lately, judging by the number of fronts hitting us down here in Perth. Lucky b..tards
slaye to the wave ........your point is ??? i was there doen it dood and you ? Dreaming about your cut back ......i got some news for you
poor old Kite bags were not even making it, or even drawing the right lines through the double bubbles ,
in fact were struggeling to even stay on the swellsssss..oh (toe side) as for cut backs non existent havent seen a kiter do one yet pleanty of drag downs
Oh the point is ?
If you were there things may have been different .....May be its only you who can get enough speed on a 5 foot twin tip to make it
And kelly slater
PS this really is not a kite friendly wave for you slave unfortunately even at 3 foot
Dont worry slave the The dragon swished its tail and sorted it ALL out nothing more needs to be said.
Love you passion to dream slave dont ever stop
Is this close enough to the pocket for you slave
Got to hand it to the windsurfers who got out past the whitewater in 15kn this day
^^^ gotta hand it to anyone who sees a lip like that and goes for a 360 That is heavy
s'pose we will see Mr Slave bust out a 360 under the lip on the stringboard real soon - any minute now.....
^^^ many of us have been in a similar position to that last pic - but it was not intentional like this flash move ...... and it hurt a lot
Considering the 4ft deep water with razor reef on the bottom and if you get washed up there is no beach just a cliff climb - that is really impressive
big balls.
Yep nice shots OP and TH and respect to the guys in them.
WS yes it is possible to do a cutback kiting (in the right conditions) but that sure is some heavy mindsurfing you are doing if you are picturing a kiter doing a cutback on that wave.
I think that most have seen this (see around 3.40):
