[Reidsmybud]

You make it look easy:p good vid man!

[ekuryluk]

Great video! Glad you resisted the temptation to add a music track. The camera audio is perfect. I think you have inspired me to take some lessons and give this a go!

[pedrofarinha1]

can you stop and turn whenever you want? im thinking if you encounter surfers or swimmers and have to quickly avoid them in the water is that possible and safe to control?

[VersusFlippers]

that looks so fun!

[artyparis]

Great. Thanks

[bairdy78]

Your skills are dope

[Peetze]

Hey, nice video. Does the headstrap hold perfect ? I´m afraid of loosing my cam by hitting the water after jumps. Did you install a safety leash on the camera or something like that ?

[123robirob]

Go Pro is better

[brede2301]

Nice stunts dud!

But a question: you say that this place is "at a California spot that has open ocean surf and a flat water pond." But were exactly is it?

I live in California and I've never seen a more smooth landscape than this!

- Plis reply, thanks

[24preacherboy]

@brede2301

Thats Dude not dud.

[slojava]

@brede2301 Guadalupe. It is a seasonal spot due to nesting protection access only in the winter.

[brede2301]

@slojava

Ok thanks. I live 5 hours from Guadalupe, so I'll definitely take a trip in the winter. Is it easy to find the spot in Guadalupe? Can you give me some more specific directions?

[slojava]

@brede2301 Guadalupe, CA

[bredestokland]

Nice video dude!

You say in your description that this is "California spot that has open ocean surf and a flat water pond". Were exactly is this? I've never seen something more smooth than that landscape!

- Thanks!

[SWI0001]

You must be full of adrenaline after that...nice stunts!

[mullartist]

footage looks great - but for sometimes showing a smear line running across the image near the top. Seen the same line on various gopro vids. Good stuff though.

[tttrainer123]

ihr sieben spaßten die das video ge unliked haben ihr könnts nicht besser ihr hässlichen pisser

[MrMikiesp]

your awesome

[shproduktions]

so sick man!

[artyfly100]

nice x-ray straps!:D

[xoloxcuincle]

wonderful



[HLpredatorTEAM]

yeah that´s one of the nicest spots i have ever seen!!

[galomarinho]

Where in California dude ?

[ICanAlmostFreestyle]

/watch?v=AnhWM39O5H4&feature=y­outu.be&hd=1



[denley44]

Nice. How do you get it on youtube so clear? I have the same camera and same setting but when I transferred it, it is not as clear.

[slojava]

@denley44 Make sure the firmware is up to date on the GoPro.

[ariankostas]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[albertsalva]

How is that you just browse this site?

[zapingosays]

where is this?

[TechHost]

What I want to know is how do you get the kite down?

[slojava]

@TechHost You just fly the kte low, just over the ground and with some experience you can self land the kite by flipping the leading edge down to the ground.

[DeniskaFromRussia]

@slojava how fast can you surf?

[slojava]

@DeniskaFromRussia 20 mph is typical. In the right conditions with high wind and flat water 40-50mph is possible.

[Dragonicafan]

@slojava question, do you have to follow the kite or can you lead it?

[slojava]

@Dragonicafan You fly the kite in front of you but you can generate enough speed or use wave energy to lead the kite for short periods of time.

[DeniskaFromRussia]

@TechHost how fast can you surf?

[TechHost]

@DeniskaFromRussia i dont surf

[piergiorgiogonni]

why did you shoot in 980p?

[slojava]

@piergiorgiogonni Because you get a better aspect ratio (4:3) to capture more height in the video. 1080p (16:9) ratio cuts off a bit on the vertical.

[piergiorgiogonni]

@slojava oh right, thanks

[slojava]

@Ferraryboy1 That is just the wind blowing the beach sand over the camera.

[baller2895]

no epic music... ? D:

[Fedesnow72]

Great

[Y2KHydro]

I just pressed 6 for about an hour.

[wdvanoyen]

you rock dude!

[littlegriffy96]

how did you secure the headstrap and insure it didn't fall off ?

[slojava]

@littlegriffy96 I tie the zipper lead on my wetsuit to the headstrap.

[davidwilkie]

Curious where you were? California, but where about?

BTW, I have that same kite, also in white except 14m, and love it.

[MisterPorno007]

what was the knots indicated airspeed

[nfinnigan]

Cool vid, would be great with some music!

[atraherne]

Man, I windsurf, but these just looks so much more fun, never seen it before from a Go Pro Cam.

[johnnyrnelson]

Nice.

[boatmainiac42]

1:35 DONT FALL..

[artyfly100]

@boatmainiac42 yeah it would not be a great idea in 6 inches water

[Peetze]

Your toes are dancing, nice video, need to have a go pro, too. Kind regards from germany.

[VoLtzNorthAmerica]

you have very beautiful feet. 

[ba77ar90]

Question for advanced kitesurfers.. what do u reccomend i get as my first kite, im after a universal kite that would still be able to pull me in low winds and strong winds and is a stable easy-to-use kite. bularoo ? kahoona ? or taboo ???? thanks

[slojava]

@ba77ar90 Kahoona would be a good first kite. Very forgiving kite with plenty of power.

[DeniskaFromRussia]

@slojava hey gimme a hand buddy, which one to pick? F-One Bandit 4 or Liquid Force Envy both 12 m2 for a beginner with good potential to aggressive surfing in a while, purpose: snow-kiting-winter / kite-surfing-summer....thanx

[artyfly100]

@ba77ar90 a north rebel is also very good

[yates56]

Nice spot!

[tristancking]

Great video! awsome spot looks cool.. How was it mounted to your board?

[slojava]

@tristancking They include adhesive mounted brackets in the heltmut hero package.

[tristancking]

@slojava ok thanks, ive used it already.. i will make a fin mount out of the big black mount that it comes shiped with..

[5ow689]

go pro hero chest mount?

[slojava]

@5ow689 head strap.

[ba77ar90]

What accesories were u using to mount it on the board and on your head? please reply

[slojava]

@ba77ar90 Just the head strap and a extra mount stuck on the end of the board

[ba77ar90]

@slojava what do u mean by extra mount on the board? and do you think that the suction cup mount would do fine once stuck on a bord for kite surfing?

[slojava]

@ba77ar90 They include a couple adhesive backed mounts with the helmut package. I am not sure about the suctioncup. If you go that route, thread a saftey line through the case and tied to a 2nd point on the board so you don't loose the camera if it pops off.

[mmppoomm]

@slojava where in california is this?

[slojava]

@mmppoomm Guadalupe on the central coast

[GurkanLofgren]

This is the by far best kite movie i've seen :)

[larocque109]

i started kitesurfing 1 year ago but i stopped for winter because of snow and now i cant wait to go back omg !!

[ImFromThaWestCoast]

Awesome vid, what a great spot! :)

[lg012345]

very cool !

[artyfly100]

really nice! i'm a 12 years old kiter but still can't turn my kite in time so i always fall in water too quickly

[slojava]

@artyfly100 Keep at it and it will all come together!

[sacredfeeling29]

wow such a cool view

[bullet21113]

great video! cool tricks and an awesome spot. it seems you were alone out there?:o wtf? greets

[eeemanjam]

awesome in the surf, love that, so fun

[BoomKites]

@slojava aha! and how many knots/ m/s wind??

[slojava]

@BoomKites about 15 knots of wind.

[BoomKites]

what size is the kite??



[slojava]

@BoomKites this is a 10m Nemesis HP

[slojava]

@BoomKites 10 meter Nemesis HP.

[llamasrage]

This is one of the videos that made me start kiting. Thanks dude!

[dmosier]

Great Video!

[KjWa13]

i would get blown away cause im fucking skinny

[MrOnetime100]

Nice! But next time put on some cool music :) I like this video!

[polignac91]

the spot looks unbelievable!!! no one no where..... it's a place where it seems that you can loose yourself in a passion: kiting! and where you can just forget about everything and everybody.

[stigsfxx]

sweet! i'm leaning to fly soon myself. how long have you been kiting? is it hard to learn?

[slojava]

@stigsfxx been kiting since the late 90s. Get a instructor and a good spot and you'll be up and going on the 3rd day.

[stigsfxx]

@slojava what do you think are the best brands of kites? what do you use? thanks :)

[Sondre3xS]

I'm moving from Norway to California in half a year, where in California is this amazing spot?

[glenmccauley1]

Love the vid. Especially the airs with the go pro mounted to the board. Keep up the good work.

[Hapuniva]

Awesome vid dude. Looks like your in the middle of nowhere. Magic  scene as the sun is setting

[doodywoodpekker]

Did you modify the headstrap? because i have one but i'm afraid that it will fall when i kite.

[slojava]

@doodywoodpekker No modifications, just tied my wetsuit zipper leash to the headstrap so if it came off it was still attached.

[doodywoodpekker]

@slojava

thx man, sick vid btw

[daking69bby]

sweet pic, i wish i could kite in a place like that, full freestyle lol... i usually surf in kenya, but its tooo choppy, where is this place? sorry for bing a pain

[kanye2west2was2right]

hey man r u retarded

[Sondre3xS]

Awsome vid m8, how long have you been kiting? I started last summer, and just wondering how long it took you to get to such an advanced level.

[slojava]

@Sondre3xS It's been a while now. I started in 1999...

[OfficialAlexLee]

how do you stop the kite? what if you let go of it?

[slojava]

@OfficialAlexLee Fly the kite to one side and land it from there. There is a leash that tethers the kite to you of you let go.

[spydermonkey44]

nice twin tip

[melrobRTF]

Wow at 1:40 your going supersonic ;D

[yzs4life]

3:13 is so sick

[kirbitthefrog]

[phantomvibrationsX]

I ordered 2 of the chest mount systems just now after i discovered them. But i will make and easy adapter for it that takes all cameras and iphones--i already have them anyway--thats how I made my video on my site. thanks

[Pin3appleExpressed]

[pHiLeverhard]

[SpainPat12]

[cketiti1]

[EddieVedder13]

How much air and how fast do these guys go?

[sebastianahc]

@EddieVedder13 I JUMP MEGA HIGH AND GO LIGHTINING FAST. About 3-10m is impressive air. World record is 100km /hr or 50.98 knots, most go about 35km/hr when cruising quickly.

[slojava]

@EddieVedder13 15ft-25ft+ high and 20 to 3-mph+

daniel

[teto191919]

2:16 sweet switch then toe to heel turn

[BigRoblilG]

what if u fall....

[slojava]

@BigRoblilG You can usually keep the kite in the air but it is easy to relaunch it it falls because structure consists of inflated bladders.

[BigRoblilG]

@slojava cool thanks

[bryce995]

@slojava can you make another vid but the cam is ont the kite pointin twards you that would be awesome

[daking69bby]

@BigRoblilG thats a stupid thing to say lol, no offense.... if he falls he gets back up and keps kiting

[nunobarrote]

Awesome video.
