    Welcome back to another video, this time I am back at my nemesis kite spot on the south side of the Isle of Wight... a secret wave spot, that is definitely not to be taken lightly... last season I destroyed a 5m Rebel in the rocks here after an amazing wave session... this year I don't event get to ride that many waves before disaster strikes... Thank goodness for the new ‪@DUOTONEKiteboarding‬ #SLS
    Strapless wave kitesurfing is my favourite way to take on the UK storm weather, big waves and strong winds. If I'm not free riding twin tip for big air, the waves are the way forward...
    Finally I am being recognised for my talent of breaking things... and that is what they need!! ;) Check them out here: www.mous.co/?...

    Hey, i was wondering if its safe learning to loop on the flexifoil ion 7m (12 years old). I also have a north pulse 10m 2021 but i think 10m is to big to learn loops. What should i do learn with my 10 or with the old 7?

    • @tomcourtkite
      @tomcourtkite  2 года назад

      I think you will be much better off looping a newer kite as they will fly better and recover nicer… a 10m should be fine for your first low lever late loops etc

  • @surfbum8166
    @surfbum8166 6 месяцев назад +1

    It would be cool if you gave a summary of what you did after kite went down. Pulled the safety and let wave take kite? Did you try and roll lines in water. I’ve been in this situation and tore my kite in half because I tried to relaunch and wave took my kite and I didn’t pull safety in time. I was amazed your kite survived

    • @tomcourtkite
      @tomcourtkite  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yea there is no rule book for this sort of situation, however I would say that a deep water pack down or getting anywhere near the lines is a bad idea.
      Main target, don’t loose any fingers. Get in safe, recover equipment later!’

    Really wondering why did you go strapless wave riding on Rebel and not Neo (especially in such conditions..). It's pretty obvious in the vid that the kite's drift sucked so eventually it fell into the water. Looks like a nice day for a Neo 5 or 6 :). Anywayz tnx for sharing , looks good

    Did you totally release your bar and swim in separately from the kite, making sure you didnt get tangled in the lines? I have always thought that is the best strategy if you down your kite in large waves and cant relaunch quickly.

    • @tomcourtkite
