Surfed it then kited it .........today was supposed to be bigger
That looks EVIL
Love the slideshows. Pics 19 and 23 really show how scary it must've been out there!? Cheers for posting Bruce
Over on the poley's forum they're laughing at how lame that kiting was compared to Polakow.
To be fair it seems to me that the wind direction was not ideal for kiting that size of waves, but also Wilson not using straps is a serious disadvantage in waves of this size where the balance of speed, chop and kite is extremely delicate - so he can't do much more than hang on and take the drop.
Looks like he need straps to me
