Posted in NSW section, but a great wrap up of an event that draws people from all around Aussie - thanks homeally!
Day 1
Fantastic videos and a great weekend!
There's a few kitesurfing photos from Saturday here - www.freedomkitemag.com/merimbula-classic-super-saturday/ . Some Sunday shots will go up soon.
Here's a look at the conditions all though I'd have to admit these are making it look even better than it was...
Great video roundup Matt, wish I had have known you were doing this, I've got some good drone footage you could have had. ( can still have if you want to edit it)
At the end of clip/day 2 you can see Airton surfing a wave and a yellow/red Neo in the background being blown by the wind, thats actually Airton's kite! He would catch a wave, unhook and let the kite go behind the wave he was riding, he would ride the wave for 50-80M flick off and then paddle after his bar and lines, catch the bar, hook in and relaunch then do it again!!!!
The mans a freak of the best kind as in kitesurf ninja freak!
The last wave he did this on the kite got washed in past him by a bigger set wave, what does he do, catch the next wave, surf into his kite, pick it up on the run by the leading edge then when he was close enough to shore he jumped off and sorted the kite and back out into it again!
No wetty or rashie all weekend, only breaks he had all day was for a bit of food and water, one of the first out and last in! Best kitesurfer I've ever seen!
