you need to date a surf photographer. That's what I did. Then you can get him to stand in the water and get good shots.

When you first start jumping and people get pic's of you it can be very disappointing cause you think your up with the birds looking all stylish but the truth is your only a couple of feet off the water with an awkward look on your face. A picture docent lie but they do get better.

This is the best One I think I've taken

A touch Soft (Out of Focus) Nice Action
Shoot on a Olympus MJU series camera.
Just a matter of being in the right place and trusting the Kiter

I remember seeing on KP Qld Facebook page a similar / same board that was traded in......it looks the same anyway. (Pic downloaded from their FB page)
It does look funky!

I didn't say the kite was, I just said that board and an oldschool kite would be winning.

If you don't know what that board is I dunno if I like you... Just saying. Lou Wainman LF pickle fork baby!

p.s. The bindings look like they could be old LF Ultra Suctions, not to sure though.

I'm with you - that pic is full of win.

Best ride that board with boots, and definately without a leash as it's a little bit pointy [}:)]

I don't know if I ever rode that specific board, but I do remeber riding a few pickleforks. Strangely enough I don't remember what the upside of a picklefork was supposed to be.

The idea behind them was the water would flow through the tips and give you more control and bite to ride more powered... Although at the time I'm pretty sure Lou was on the Sheen train along with the dude who designed it.

Taken at winkipop today, not my pics but hows this for next level tech usage





top right hand corner, looks to be using one of these (or something similar) to capture footage




apparently the battery for those things only last for 20 mins or so though, unless there has been some improvement.
Pretty cool imo.

Looks like a puddin'd up Sam riding the old LF 141 Picklefork with an Ozone 2008 bar and a Bandit Dos

Dude! WTF is with those boardies, and why aren't they over a wetty? LOL

That would probably be responsible for the following footage
