KITEWING - Kitewing Wave Warrior 7.5 @ Portugal (3rd try)

Cool compromiss tool for those pathetic kiters telling "i`ll never go windsurf", and vice-versa. (:

What was the wind speed? Do you windsurf /kite? Seems like a good idea, total depower, compact and easy on body, but it IS reassuring to know you can always bob back home on windsurfing gear if the wind dies.

[TERRAEVENTOSdotNET]

The wind speed was about 18 knots, with gust up to 25. I do kiteboard (land and water) but never windsurfed in my life. You also can "bob back" with your kitewing board.. ;-)

[CynicalAutomaton]

Pretty darn good for your 3rd time, you do other water board sports I guess heh?

[TERRAEVENTOSdotNET]

Well, some.. eheh Just have a look to the other videos of my channel.. Cheers.

w0w! that must be hard! i do professional wind surfing.. but this! man good work man!

[windsurfmania1]

The biggest nonsense I have ever seen. The rider has no speed while the wind is blowing like crazy. How long can you do this without your arms falling off? Two minutes?

[TERRAEVENTOSdotNET]

Ehehehe.Nonsense, eh?-Right! That should be why SO MANY windsurfers are willing to try a KITEWING 8-) Well, regarding my arms: you know, Kitewingers are strong people! But when tired, we can always hook the wing on the harness via an harness-line similiar to the ones used on windsurf. By the way, where are your videos? :-P

it seems like the rider is a beginner, he should try to learn to ride this thing before getting into the waves

[TERRAEVENTOSdotNET]

Yes, I'm a beginner; And I always will, as I'm always learning ;-) ... (as the name of the video indicates, this was my 3rd time on the water with this equipment...) I would prefer learning on a flat-water spot, if I had it available.. ;-P -As not, waves are fine to get along with it.. Cheers

[khkramer]

Cool stuff! How hard is it on your arms? Can you take the pressure off by hooking into the harness, as with a kite -- or are you holding on tight?

[TERRAEVENTOSdotNET]

Hi. The kitewing isn't THAT hard on the arms.. And you can hook or unhook to an harness like a kite, yes. ;-)

Once you're planing it all stabilises, like being on a Dirtsurfer, yet to have a good session - we should have some video soon.

it's hard getting out through the breakers, but you made the best of it using them as jump ramps.
