Give it a break.
Selfish BW pimping.
If you have to keep on sending strapless surf vids, at least show some decent waves.
Do you guys actually even sponsor seabreeze?

How about some BWS strapped riding in some decent waves for a change or some BWS twinny action, getting boring

Judging by red thumbs on this and other thread, probably most of us?

I guess other companies could post 1:30min videos as well every two weeks, so you could consider it their fault if they don't seize the opportunity. As said, it just gets a little one-sided style wise..

So what I'd like to see next time:
1. Dude driving up to the beach.
2. Dude setting up his [BWS] gear.
3. Cranking out a big(!) kiteloop on the water.
4. Coming in and landing.
5. Optionally: Driving back home stoked in the sunset.

If BWS could pull that off, a green one from me would be guaranteed!

How would straps help a guy like Ian kite any better - he does everything a strapped kiter can do but just makes it look so much better -
These guys are setting standards for us all to aspire to -
If Ian had pulled this move using straps we would be saying - yeah so what!!!

Footstraps = foothandles = trainer wheels

Amen! A strapped air or carving turn has half the degree of difficulty of a strapless move. The joy from sticking one of those moves are off the hook. Ben Wilson, ryland and Ian are the guys I go home after every kite study on YouTube and try to see how I could kite better because they have it down pat!

No doubt Ian is a stylish rider. I would love to see him pull these moves riding down the line and not pinching upwind in onshore conditions.
I rarely see the strapless guys pull this off down the line at my local.
Having said that, I enjoy watching him ride (on video at least)

Thanks for clearing that up, and I thought that vid was for all the groms down at Scarbs and Trigg battling it out in the slosh, to see what they can do if they get them selves a kite

i agree endless turns on a wave can get boring quick, but that vid of Ian was sick, so much skill

Trainer wheels is a bit harsh how about safety straps? Just jokes before the flood of insecure bull**** starts flooding in. Its great to see new footage and if BWS want to make it good on em. All anti pimp sensitive people need not apply. Makan contol benchons!

The way these guys pimp themselves & their brands doesn't really effect me. But... is it necessary to constantly pimp the state?


I'm glad it was terrible and not one of our rare days with swell.

Here we go again, and we call the poor poms a bunch of whingers!
We might live in gods' country, but fk me god must have let every tool wanker and whinger come live here.
Whatever happened to the stoke... Maybe you should try logging off for a while and well I don't know...actually go for a kite, surf or a swim even!
Oh sh#t i forgot... its not as much about kiting these days as it is about having an opinion on some bloody stupid forum!!!
Sorry Laurie, no offense... Seabreeze is the beez kneez

Hey BWS guys. This is kite surfing - even got some of your guys riding.

Good clean waves of decent sizes and - forget the lame spins - they got tubes.



Maybe you guys blew it - went south when you shoulda gone north.

Took the words out my mouth, Hitch_hiker!

I would much prefer to watch some kiting vid of anybody than read some garbage you guys type out, Dude!

I love to be Pimped.

Kitegirl - loved the article. ( oh yer, the guys are friendly not because you're a fellow kiter, it's because you're a honey, Holly).. Don't tell my wife, someone stole my username

Waaaaah, FFS douches, you haven't yet worked out how much fun you can have kiting in mush? 95% the reason I kite is you only need a 1ft close out to smash some some lips and have a sick sesh. Get out there, smash some lips and stop whiiiiining princess!

If your bored of watching their "repetitive" videos, why bother watching or flaming them?
