It would be great to see a sequel this season.

No better kite to lean on than a 4.9 blade on a bar when the winds blowing a hoolie :dunno:

Boy that looks like a fun place to ride...maybe this season I'll have to give snowkiting a try...

Two thumbs up to that guy for persistance...let's hope he kept with it...couldn't help but think, what that guy really needed was an ARC ;-)

My attempts at kitesufing involved wading out from shore to get space between me and it (onshore slightly cross wind), trying a couple of starts, maybe riding for a few meters, wiping out then wading back out again.

... I can believe the people who say they lost a ton of weight kite surfing :lol: all that walking around :D

Seems like the guy was moving the bar like a car steeringwheel instead of push pull. Give him credit for trying and trying.

out of all the board ive strapped to my feet, snowkiting must have been the easiest one to pick up. its more about kite control and this guy looks like he needs abit of practise!!!
