Had a boosty good session this week...using a 12m Naish Draft. What a silly kite, so much bar pressure but lots of hang time. Whatever happened to them?

That's good to know and something I would like to enforce. How do I apply to join the Fun Police?
I have done the relevant courses for fun patrolling. You can apply through me if you'd like a licence issued so you can patrol your local beach.

Riding toeside a skill .. haha. Jybing and riding back heel side, now that takes skill. Most crew ride toeside because they can't jybe then get dragged back downwind getting in the way
jybing take skill? f me this is getting to much. Try any simple airpass mate. You let me know how much easier TT riding is compared to jybing on a SB.
Look at this crap twin tipping in the waves.
What a waist of waves. He should be strapless surfing those bad boys. What an unskilled looser for not being an enlightened surfboard rider!

I prefer tt in the crap waves we have in mandurah. Never said it required more skill than boosting . Someone was boasting hardcore toeside riding as the ultimate. Couldn't give a rats arse what you ride out ther just have fun and don't be a cock to others

Love it!!!!
Man those loops with the late horizontal back roll/spin....damn that must take some balls, traveling through the air backwards like that after being rocketed by a loop. ....and he lands so softly!!! Prick.

missed that bit of context mate and indeed could not agree more. People can be riding a Maccas tray for all I care. Only thing that matters is that he/she is out there having fun and contribute to a good atmosphere at the spot.
Now that guy in the last video.... indeed a prick for makIng it look so easy! awesome riding.
Yes!!!!
I really like where this is going!
Down at my local its nothing but people helping each other launch and land and having friendly discussions about gear and conditions. some guys even rock up witha twin tip and a surfboard and then alternate between styles Outrageous!!!!!!!
This all in bloody hippy love fest needs to stop before somone pulls out a ukulele and starts singing koombaya !!!!
First that needs to go is we need to ban allround do it all kites like the Naish pivot, ozone enduro etc. these things just promote interstylism Surfboards should not be made with " strap inserts" they should either be 100% strapped or unstrapped, mutants well they will just have to go - hydrofoils- who cares !!!
Build a wall but not to keep people out just because on the downwind side of this wall there will be sweet flat water and clean waves
Ban everything!!
Grab kitesurfing by the pussy!!
was enjoying light sunset wave sess on strapless 5'6 this arv, feeling loose and happily repeating 100m upwind triangles, when some dude appeared behind me on a foilboard... realised he had tacked at least 5 klm upwind from downwind launch, with ease..... must say I was impressed at the upwind versatility! I continued to watch him roar back downwind and spend the next 30 mins seemingly criss crossing the entire bay, must have covered 15-20klms... seems foiling has a lot to offer, apart from its unique riding sensations, the ability to go sailing, upwind and downwind, and land back at launch, must feel fun 
I'm getting one....lol... 
no seriously I am. Which is funny considering my thread title...lol..

Like you Eppo,
got a second hand foil last week.
I take my hat off to you guys that are up and going, alot harder than it looks.
Maybe not something a 60 year old should take on, but what the heck.
Gave a guy a launch on a 7 edge before wind kicked in
I wouldn't of blown a 17 up
He then grabbed a foil and proceeded to shout around
Pretty amazing in performance
Might have a crack too one day when I'm 60

But you can't argue with this stupidness.
vid reminds me of the TT boys 10 years ago re dangle, early days! anyone got any upwind foil angle penetration measurements yet, always thought kites biggest drawback was upwind angles, lucky to get say 10/15 degrees ps. how many other boards can boost like that except dimitris

Lots. Way more than you can with anything that doesn't have massive fins, and I suspect foils are easier to ride than the race boards. And you don't need to build speed to do it (which I ignorantly assume you have to with race boards) so I if you can get in the board, you can foil and crack upwind....which is what the nay sayers just don't get, I suspect.

I'm through the stupid crashing stage and can foil up and down wind and lay down some carves which feel freaken awesome. Now I need to get the gybes sorted and get some airtime and ride some waves!
So plummet how long from yo to go, before I can do what Adam does....? Bahahahhahahahahahahahahah wow!!
And when you get bored of the old school stuff then you can always add some passes

Since you can already gybe and airstyle all you need To be able to do is load and pop before starting to throw old foil school. I recon 6 weeks maybe sooner.
Ps I'll never get to Adam level of trickery. But I plan to jump that high!

If you're this much of a softie now, you won't cope with the beating you get learning to foil when you're 60...
Was plummets and russkraut not me. Although I think I've watched Adams clip about 50 times now...almost own it !!!
I think my wow gland must be broken. I added all those videos to my watch later list and just watched them, then re-read the thread, then watched the videos again to make sure I hadn't made a mistake.
Sorry, but, yawn. 
Poorly exposed. Poorly shot. Same old camera angles. Same old moves everybody else does done over and over. Same old crappy music.
They do look like they're having fun.

Your a hard man to please. What do you like? Shows the revolutionary videos that exceed these videos!
All my mates are on surfboards now but I'm a creature of habit and can't get past my tt, maybe that's why they f'ed me off ?
I thought I was just a C word here , maybe not
