I am curious about the etics and rules regarding space and not getting entangled or hitting other surfers?

Thanks for all your videos!

A week of evenings searching for a video like this...wading through the 'top list garbage heap' was exhausting. So sad that the best videos are buried under trash as always. I'm going to attempt to wire cut a foam core as first step to save time and avoid shaping asymmetry. I've made timber-based surfboard fins and such, but that's heavier than foam and asymmetry is always lurking. The cost of this gear is still outrageous. They can make this stuff for pennies by the millions. I refuse to support such greed by purchasing. I understand it was started by people like you and me who spent countless hours designing and manufacturing than trying to sell to smaller market, but at some point the profit scale tips and greed soars once it becomes popular. It is now extremely popular. Manufacturing is streamlined. Cost of machines and employees has been paid for 10 times over. It's pure greed to sell a foil for 500-$2000 or more when it costs $50-100 to make.

It’s always a huge sigh of relief for me once I get my kite in the air. Launching sketches me out, but always trying to get better. Thanks for the video 🙏

Best!!

Can you kitesurf if you are overweight?

Interessante 💥 👍

First 1/3 of the video is marketing

I definitely think you are doing things correctly. It reminds me of when windsurfing exploded in the late 70's early 80's and wave boards were tried for the first time with a sail ! From there on it was trial and error shaping short windsurfers. Don't go with the flow - That's just mainstream and what is easiest and sells most and makes most money for the makers. You have the freedom of making things juts how YOU like them. Well done ! In my eyes - but I've actually never foiled ... (however I do know hydrodynamics), the only advantage of a bend in the foil vs a straight foil is to get MORE surface within a given width. It just gives you more lift for a same width. A bit like concave undersides simply give you MORE surface on a windsurfer so that it actually starts planing earlier. Keep on at it. I've done that by necessity all my life and know so much more than the rich guys who simply buy the latest equipment. They are my pool for trying / testing as I often asked if I could try their equipment and took waht was good and left the mainstream behind.

Best tutorial landing technique, Thannks.

I was wondering how it got sort of/up wind?

What a great, informative video - I have my first of 3 lessons tomorrow! Thank you

Great series mate. Well done.

First lesson in an hour. Thanks for prepping me 🙂

This was a really good video mate! 👍 thank you so much!

Thanks for that video! I'm going to learn all summer long at magdalen islands.

Yes sir thank you i’ve been watching your videos ever since I found you on UA-cam man and I’ve learned so so much you’re so informative. I’ve looked at probably hundreds of different videos on learning how to kite surfing and this and that and none of them are as thorough as yours so thank you very much.❤❤

ur have a very cute smile❤ keep smile like this😘😘

Dude I love your videos and your style you have taught me so very much thank you and god bless you

You're so good at teaching, could be any subject, thank you!

awesome

Waffle waffle waffle

Thanks man

Is it true that kiteboarding is cheap in Hawaii!?

amazing video. also amazzing spot, where is that if anyone knows.

Wasaga Beach 1 Ontario eh 14 heat attacks later.. Aboot ta help a buddy out .. Need to fly lol

Thanks!

Very nice explanation. Thanks!

I used this video to work on self launch. Both times I did, I had the line on the underside catch the wingtip and go spiraling out of control. The first time it corrected itself, the second time it did not. It felt very dangerous and uncontrolled.

Thanks Luke, very clear, very instructional. Greetings from Madrid🌊

I've been building mine a few years now since I started wing surfing. It's great to see a nice hand-built front wing. I use 3D printing for all but 1 of my wings. First was composites clad 3D printed core, then a CNC multi laminated ply wing(2650). After that I did all moulds from 3D printed models and laid carbon fibre in them. Necessary for the thinner higher performance ones.

Excellent explanation. Thank you!

Really sound advice. Lots of talking but sharing of good sense.

Luke. Great stuff. Spot on. My no wind life in san diego has taught me to also use a wave surf skill as well. smooth rail to rail carve combined with a little squat and extend, this is all to pump and make speed. Similar to what a surfer does on a wave face. These can be quick or slow but has to be in sync with the kite. Easier said than done. The wiggle is often the make or break for me getting up to speed in a lull or making it into a wave . Cheers

Hi mates. I can’t find the waist strap on their site. Do you know if they stopped making it? Also have you had any issue during a crash with the waist strap selfie stick attachment? I’m hoping to use mine for surfing but concerned if it will hold in the waves

sorry, this is not strong wind as your thumbnail's text. On a 30-40 knots wind you won't be able to pull the lines with bare hands.

Just say like snowboarding

Dude. You’re the man. This is exactly what I was looking for when I decided it was time to try the build myself. I’m a machinist and fabricator by trade so this should be a breeze. I’m super pumped to get going. Thanks for the FREE plans. I’ll def hit you up if there’s anything I did differently and let you know how it turned out. I will for sure be back to buy the mast, hollowed out aluminum is out of my skill set range. Again, You’ll hear from me again, especially if I figure out a way to make an inexpensive mast of the same strength and weight. Thanks again!

Great tutorial, I'm going to do a beach run as suggested.

Do you need to learn how to swim before doing a kite surfing?

curious what wood you are using? I shape surfboards and foil boards and I want to start shaping my own custom foils -using production foils as a template- thanks!

Your explanation is very good but your camera is too much on you and too little on what you are actually explaining - action - movement..even when you pull a line , the camera doesn't show that, show only your upper body and hands doing something... It is just too close to you. We are not def to read your lips... So for me as a beginner video shows almost nothing but I know your every face hair😊

Love your content Luke. I’ve watched all of your wave riding vids and enjoy your relaxed demeanour. What would be the chances of you creating a tutorial for on-shore wave riding with a focus on kite positioning and timing etc? Most vids I see are of cross or off-shore riding which isn’t realistic for most Oz east-coasters and focus on rider positioning as opposed to the kite. Love your work!

Thanks ! I have the Ocean Rodeo bar you used in the video. I always had difficulties doing a clean wrap/unwrap on it. You method is perfect. Wonder why I couldn't figure it out myself. Maybe Ocean Rodeo should include this wrap method in the owner's manual for this bar.

i had a directionnal board ( no volum board 170/48,TT construction , unfortunatly stolen) with straps, like said, straps locks u in position (never learnt to jib,) on the other hand....u can go fast as your feet are in the straps and u can cut hard trhough the waves or jumbping over them (kinda like windsurfing)

thanks

I just picked up a 2015 ozone reo 12m kite all new bladders with original bar and lines for $500aud a 2 seasons used dakine renegade waist harness for $140aud and a 2014 naish hero 140x43 twintip for $200aud but turns out its a wave riding kite i didnt do my research first but from what i have heard the reo is a very versatile kite and can be used as a freeride or all rounder also im only a beginner myself with my first lesson completed so im unsure if i chose wrong or not i havent had the chance to go out and test the kite for myself just yet.

Very helpful! Thank you for this video!😎

I found one of your videos on how to build a foil. Thank you very much there was someone that was selling them but then it was dropped put that taken off so I’m building myself thank you. I’m using phone and some wood. Hope it works. The theory is there anyways thank you for all your help.
