THANK YOU Ben and the Entire BWS crew you've changed the world and you changed and evolved surfing ..thank you youve changed and inspired my life as well as the life of countless others either directly or indirectly (even the copy cats are direct compliments to what you and the team developed first) thank you team!
Very well said. Great honest words and one can only hope that your Kite weeks continue to grow. The BW-Surftrip movies from Australia are still the best Wavekite movies so far - true surfing vibes. All the best!
A Million thank's Ben for what you have done for this sport. as a surfer first; there is no kitesurfing without surfing in my world. you are right we might be too few. pls run your camps everywhere, not just in fiji and in california, but in europe and in africa and in south america; and regularly so we can make that camp week part of our routine and your routine. if one day you can please keep making those fantastic boards; there is no other board on the market you can take on your trip, wether you kite or you surf. there is no other boards that allow us to ride those waves as we do, kite in hand. keep going; thank you
Sad to hear but you have inspired so many! I can’t believe the videos you were able to release 10 years ago, you were really leading it! Also learnt so much from it! Wishing you and the team all best.
Ben it is so sad to hear this news. Hopefully you have good luck and happyness in the future with your family. Thank you for your lessons, movies. For me you have always been my inspiration. Hope to see you again on the net to enjoy.
Your contribution to the kitesurfing has been like no other. BWsurf crew was an incredible team inspired by elements and not by money. Thanks for what you have done in this decade.. I wish you all the best!
Thank you so much for everything you have done for the sport. While watching this movie I can realy feel how hard it is for you to make this decision. But this is what makes you so sympathic. You are still the guy from next door and not the cool business man. I realy wish you all the best and hope that you keep on producing those amazing content on youtube. The filthy west is by far the best kitesurfing movie ever !!! Thanks for sharing your vision with us. CU out there
Thank you Ben, for exploring this direction ! I always loved the adventure and the atmosphere with BWS. So Cool ! All your videos et al. I still keep all of my Aneema kites & enjoyed the trip to the philippines tremendously I am sure you will be doing well, this looked like a hard nut to crack. Best to Dano ! Kind regards, Marc
You are 1 of the pioneers riding waves !!! the best to me !! its just sad to hear that you're leaving.... I just hope you keep on going kitesurfing , having fun and posting videos ;) you've been a great inspiration to me and I believe to many !!! THANK YOU !
Ben, sad to hear, but understandable decision. You got me in for sure! However, I’m always surprised by the amount of people still twin tipping on downwinders.. they don’t know what they are missing!
Thanks Ben, you're a legend. "The Unknown Road" in 2007 was very influential for me and helped spark my passion which led to a career in the industry. Best of luck with your next steps.
Really sad to hear that.. you’re right..it is a niche market, and here in Portugal even more as kites are still expensive, and I’m mostly alone out in the waves! Hope you get to work with other brands in the future and help revolutionize even further! All the best 🤙🏻
Ben - damn, sorry to hear. Loved your stuff. Thanks for the awesome strides you made in the surf-specific kite niche. Totally understand the very tough decision, but you will emerge from this in a stronger way. Cheers, Mate, and look forward to another kite week with you and your crew one day sooner rather than later.
Initially my reaction is "That's rooted!" but I think your main contribution is your skills. I've only been able to tap into the incredible stuff you've shared but I went back to flat water because I couldn't afford the camps & I hit a wall due to lack of training about onshore & side-on typical Gold Coast conditions. Maybe setting up affordable surf schools insitu is the way forward? I look forward to your videos. Thank you so much for the knowledge you've given me so far! I love riding with the power of the wave & I managed to ride a cyclone swell thanks in large part to your training & inspiration 😊❤👍
congrat and much respect Ben on the way you started and finished your journey with BWS - hope to rip up some waves with you one of these days - been too long. all the best to you and your family
Your Super Kite Day vibes will live forever.
