Serously, Rowdy has a point. I havent ridden with a donkey dick since 2007. Kites got better and didnt hindenberg on you But it made unhooking so much easier. With a kite like the reo, etc. you open your shoulders up so much more to massive vertical turns even in onshore mush. Surfingboye is your name, do you unhook every time you can?
BTW. I love the style elements, very Rob Machado.

Dude, you won in the parameters set. AND everyone had the same parameters, PROPS to surfingboye!

Nah, unhooking doesn't happen at my local, too onshore. If I kite in crossshore I will, but pretty rare really. Got a little WA unhooked session in, might have some photos of that maybe...?

Actually slightly cross (mostly) onshore at the right angle to the waves can be really good for unhooked riding and makes unstrapped unhooked aerials way easier to attempt and land.

My tip is this; Instead of trying to whip your kite and ride down the line on the way into the beach, pick a good wave on your way out, keep your kite powered up so it drifts back into the window a lot, unhook and surf the wave into the beach with your kite still facing out to sea.

I'm guessing most people know this, but if you don't it's worth a try and you can have a lot of fun like this.
