kiteboarding vs Cableboarding

Sort of,
the way I remember it is the power you generate from a cable is by edging hard against the angle of pull and then releasing your edge. There's a different thing that happens in the air as the cable reaches it's stretch point.

Put it this way, from memory I think it's really close. I learnt to ride kickers at a cable park. I found that I could do some tricks behind a cable that I can do kiting.

There's just a little less freedom with the cable park for obvious reasons. (such as walking back when you wipe out)

But a huge benefit - ride a cable park everyday for a week and you get STRONG with riding unhooked.

we dont have a cable park in wa any more do we?

and i have two parks within 2hrs drive of me , sorry that proberly doesnt help but i find it hard to get people there anyway

not true, you can not kiteloop on cable while pulling a slim chance, mobe 7 or one of those twangly tingyies that look just as ghay as the rest of the kite low stuff.

Cwamit:
"WAKESTYLE" kiteboarding.
you are using a term that means to ride a wakeboard and do wakeboard tricks, so of course "wake"boarding and cableboarding would be the closest thing to "wake"style kiteboarding.

p.s. wakestlye doesn't include kiteloops, have u ever seen the cable or boat loop? you are forgeting what comes first, and that we are copying wakeboarding tricks when we do "wakestyle" not the other way around, but i guess u probably realise that already, and if you dont there is no point trying to help you.

This is the way I see it.

Wakestyle - Not using your kite for lift. Creating load and pop from your board, doesnt rely on wake, waves. plus a lot more.... kickers and sliders....

Freestyle - Kiteloop's, etc etc..

All rounder - Basic jumps, spins, (does'nt / rarely unhook)

Surf - rides a surfboard in the waves.

deff taking the piss

Wow great vid Saff, pretty talented young fella that hadlow was going pretty hard... what do the cable experts think??

it may be similar but doing a raley behind the the cable is so much harder then doing one behind the kite. The kite gives way more lift even when its low.
hats off to the guys pulling double s bends to blind on the cable. it seems like they have special springy rubber ropes compared to my attemps.

try one behind a car

after my last attempt at a railey behind a boat, I probably won't be trying that


There is some cables scenes in this


Lentons not bad at cable either

You should really consider the safety of forum members before you start suggesting risky and dangerous ideas such as this one.

P.S. Maybe you should also advise car-wakers-to-be that an unfortunate car-waking episode was how your infamous moniker "Numnutz" was derived.

well thank you brett.. was quite a serve

are u just trying to get your post count up lizzzy
