Thanks, I’m really looking forward to try this as soon as the wind comes back up … on a downwinder (alone) so I can fall 50 times without wasting time trying to fight my way back upwind (or anyone seeing what a kook I look like until I can reliably land it :-)
Flukes Kitesurfing Do you find it harder to do this trick with a wave kite? My wave kite is great at drifting but seems really bad at jumping (unless it’s overpowered with too much wind). Do you use a jumpier kite or is it just a matter of my setup technique being rubbish?
This is amazing stuff. Kind of like "skateboarding" on water. A real mastery of wave bouncing, board lifting, wind sticking and landing acrobatics. What next a "kick flip"!!!
Thanks Trexinvert! yeah haha people can do kickflips actually :) but the main "kick trick" people do is the shove-it which as you say is very much a skate trick
Hey Luke! Love your videos bud! Been watching them for a couple of years and learnt a lot! Something me and other folks I talk to in the beach struggle with is the landing strapless tricks, I.e. the jumps with board grabs. I keep dropping “hard” from the air without really being able to put my board under my feet. Would be great if you could make a video on how to soften strapless jumps landings reducing the impact on our knees 👴😂

Oh awesome! yeah mate that's a good idea. Do you have a couple of tricks you are trying specifically when that happens? Or just the board off jump?
@@FlukesKitesurfing normal jumps off wave faces. Basic stuff 😄
