WooooooW!!!

[mrderekwelsh]

The most amazing flying I've ever seen. So controlled and graceful, divine inspiration.  Thank you for sharing

[harrell1963]

Wow!!! Just makes me cry. ;o) Bitter Sweet Symphony. Pilot envy.

[LandonGear]

Sweet, i have a prism nexus and i want to get a E3 just because i think it looks the coolest. anyways great flying i could never do that stuff.

[runeski74]

Very nice!!!!

[chrispie99]

How do you make the kite do such a FAAARRRR sideslide?! Amazing!

[dualline]

@chrispie99 - It's easy... same way you get to Carnegie Hall. (practice x3)  ;-> Slides really are quite easy in mellow wind. You have to manage the stall and the kite's attitude. Lean the leading edge in the direction you want to go and carefully maintain a lower pressure on the opposite wing and the kite will slide. The hard part is keeping the tips level.

just bought a cheapo stunt kite, bet I can't get it off the ground lol

I'm great with single line kites lol, I'm guessing stunt kites are a shit load harder

[KingKhong811]

I got a cheapo stunt kite too...big mistake! Need really really strong winds to be able to get it off the ground...need to get a Prism!

[PsyTubeX]

Awesome!

How do you launch from under the water?! :D

[sam3619]

you have to w8 till the waves go out. the water fills the sail and then pull when you feel tention on the line. thats how you do it with a spin offtype kite.

for that kite its got stand offs so just need to get it in water then pull faster then the wave is coming in.

[transplant07]

whats a good string to use

[dualline]

The ONLY line to use is one made from Spectra fiber. (high strength, low stretch) Various brands are out there. Google "online kite shop".

everything the rest said.. great vid !

[PAW211271]

Veryveryvery nice vid !!!

[breadboys69]

i love this video... It has been my inspiration... So many cool tricks.....  Im jealous....

[Geebuv]

is there a tutorial video somewhere on youtube that i can watch? i've tried looking but with no success.

[skathious1]

whats the first trick you do at 0:22 when youre just kinda steppin it down side to side.... looks pretty cool.. id like to learn how to do it

[dualline]

That's called a "cascade."

It's a series of opposing half-axels that you can work up or down the window. (I've heard the move called a "Fountain" or "Rising Cascade" when you move the kite up instead of down.

[Jojonathan470]

Ce pilot est un dieux !!! Merci pour les yeux !!!

[dualline]

You're welcome for "les yeux"!!

Here's what I remember from Middle School Francais...

Dialoge Numero Une

P - Bonjour Alice.

A - Bonjour Philippe, ca va?

P - Oui, ca va. Et toi?

A - Pas mal.

We had to memorize a new dialoge every week. I can only remember the first one.

;->

[magicmx]

watch Your spars during the water woark xD

[magicmx]

in the beginning I was like... nice video-music connection, nothing big, but still nice xD

after the comete I was awestruck and luved the vid till the end.

ps. how one makes a steady slide of a wing tip on the ground ore water?

[tonycarl60]

Excellent!

[imwithdude]

So many things I love about this video... I grew up in the Seattle area, now I live on the east coast, and hearing about all the badass kite flying spots there makes me want to move back!! I love that you can see the ferry crossing the sound!! Your QPro is beautiful!! and if I could be half as good at flying as you are, which I will be one day, I will be content :) great video, great tune!

[maximilia1]

looks cool when its going out of the water. Im going to buy my first kite ever in two weeks. Looking forward so badly :D

[knightflyte]

I think I've seen the best kite video in my life. The flying is inspiring. The choreography is humbling.

I loved the roll ups and I am jealous of your side slides. I love to see a good one. You put at least three in. THANKS!

Great Work.

[dualline]

Slides are pretty easy with this kite, especially in very low winds. You just walk backwards and maintain the stall while cheating to the side you want to go.

Actually, everything is pretty easy with this kite. It's amazingly responsive and precise.

Thanks for the comment!

[knightflyte]

I put an order in for one yesterday. Mostly because of this clip. I'm looking forward to it very much.

[arcostiann]

Seriously that seems unreal. How that's possible. lol Please make a video will show you from behind to understand more how you do it =P

[dualline]

Pick up a copy of Freestyle Pilot on DVD. It's on the Prism website and is an instructional DVD that'll take you from basics to advanced moves. Back when I started there was a video (yes, VHS... remember those?) called the Advanced Way to Fly. I watched it over and over and learned a bunch, but the best way to learn is to fly with other people who have more kite control than you do. You'll learn more in a afternoon than you'd ever think possible.

[nostramo27]

when i am doing the walk of shame, i think of this video and think someday i may be half as good as this.

brilliant, love the water stuff. thanks

[imparesfantasticos]

What was the wind speed that day?

I haven't seen a half of those tricks before.

[dualline]

Wind was about 2mph, a bit choppy.

We wanted to show that the SUL was capable of all the "new-skool" tricks currently being flown, so that's what all the flippy-floppy stuff is about. (wrap and multi-wrap moves, with rotation, are very popular right now)

Thanks for the comments!

[must86]

Wow !

Nice Kite !

Nice skills !

[TKCoutside]

Nice!

[gumush]

Awesome , what is the music ?

[ZeroNilNada]

The song is Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve.

[f86sabjf]

[wedgwoodtom]

very inspiring! love the water and the side slides!
