Combo of booties and ultra wide stance. Still bloody hard :P
Can anyone else see that Ian is using one of the moving spreader bars?

Neat vid thanks for sharing.

I will now go and cry into my beer as I realise just how useless my own strapless riding really is...

yeah great combo - TDZ and the cali crew. Providing some nice little vids.

progressing the surfboard style of riding. Great to see what is achievable, even on your backhand.

Can't really think of any benefits, other than doing back and front loops.
Can't imagine unhooking though.

I would have thought backside wave riding would be better, especially in cross on conditions. Unhooking shouldn't make any difference.

This guy is Teddy Lyons, he is a 17 year old kid out of Ocean City New Jersey on the east coast - he has only been kiting about 18 months and he won the BWS rockstar comp where he got a full kite quiver and wetsuits, clothes and a ton of other prizes and now he lives near IAn and gets to kite with him - talk about living the dream I saw him ride about 4 months ago and it looks like he progressing super fast so he will be a rider to watch

Excellent riding. Crap surf. Don't think i'd bother with a surdboard until there was real waves.

Ive been using a dyna bar for a while. I find them great for wave riding especially for riding backhand. I just find them very comfortable. I used to have my harness loose so it could move around my waist when back hand, the dyna bar gives alot more movement and it stops alot of the twist on my harness. I dont unhook so cant comment there. Well worth trying for wave riding.
