Thanks James 👍

Kevin, love the vids. Would love to see more of the kite in the shots to understand your kite control and maneuvers. Also, would love to hear a breakdown of how you're doing certain tricks, jumps, etc. That would take your vids to the next level for me and I imagine everyone else that kites and watches. Thanks!

Good one !!!💥💥💥

Awesome Kevin 🤪🤙 I'm coming to cape Town 😀

It's always a scary moment when your kite gets caught up in a wave

Super helpful tip regards to saving your kite. Thanks

Kevin is a beast!

Kevvlog😍 Nice Video 👍🏼

Great to see you rippin' the waves again. Remember you legendary performance at Cape Hatteras . When and why are you riding straps? Or did you go strapless for good?

Mooie beelden Kevin !!

Zelfs fout gaan als een champ. Wat een save tegelijk op het strand als je kite. Tof uitleg erbij, wat te doen wanneer gebeurt 🤘

Loving how you provided some "how to" insights there. What is your thought on leg straps?

My kite got punctured today and I had to cut one of the steering lines.. but this video made my day a little better. Funny shit in the beginning, wise lessons in the end

Hi. Can you tell me what kind of headphones are you using in this episode and are they good for swimming?

Dear Kevin i am a great fan of yours. You have been Coming to South Africa for more then 15 years. It is a amazing country with great coasts. I was wondering why have you never been to the Indian Ocean to Durban for kite-surfing. Maybe you will find that a unique experience this time if you consider trying it. The waves may not be as strong as Cape Towns however it has warm water due to the Indian Ocean and also beautiful views. Please shed some light on this matter.

Did he release the leash attachment also?

Need more Moonfishes! 😃 And Strapless action! Also I like to know your cool strapless beachstart. 👍 👍👍👍 What else do you do for your health and fitness. How often do you do?

Pls Tell me which sunglases do you wear? At the beginning of the Video

What about on an off shore like at One Eye? Do you still advise releasing the kite there?

@daversj

3 жыл бұрын

No, unless you have to. I dumped my kite on One Eye. Waves were well overhead. Thankfully i was able to drift over reef by keeping the lines tight, and relaunched after 2nd wave. Long interval gives you time to relaunch. If you release there your lines would snag on the reef, which is far out. If you’re lucky it would drift north into the lagoon. Best not to dump it obviously. If you released on the outside, kite would be gone. Don’t think i’d want to be drifting outside without my kite. Could be hard to find you. Locals will rescue you for money if it’s not to late in the day. Best practice there is to steer kite to the outside and go through the wave if you’re about to get smashed. Wind can be so offshore there you can’t pull off wave to the inside to escape. I learned the hard way. Amazing place.

9:52 is that a moon fish/mola mola ??

Releasing the kite saved it from damage true. What if your bar and lines wrapped around one of the young kids playing on the beach in the video and then the kite started death looping? What if it got swept up and blew into the carpark or traffic or a building or powerlines? I dont know if that's the right lesson here to always release your kite if you crash in waves...

Nice to see the best . Stuff up 😉 and training... im a avid bodybuilder ... keep myself in top shape... maximise my fittness ... to kitesurf allday... 😉😊

when you released your kite, just went over to bodyboarding (:

Scary stuff. Nice riding tho

9:50! 😮 I'd be so scared 😂

Oh man that kite crash is a constant threat at our local spots in San Diego. Light wind and large waves = suffering .

I had a very similar incident with my kite at a spot in Poland. I tried doing a down loop jibe to toeside, but I started the maneuver when my kite was too low to complete the loop, so when it hit the water, the lines lost all tension, the kite rolled over itself, tangled up all the lines, I had to completely release the kite through all safety systems, then I was assisted by a random guy on a jetski who then helped me get back to the kite downwind, and get it back to the beach. I'm pretty certain if I wouldn't let go of the kite, I would have ended up in Germany after a very long swim.

F in the chat for the failed fistbump hahaha

whats that song in the beginning??

Haha lasse well Done! You look like mr. Crabs

Next time your in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina can you give me some lessons?

Hi kevin! It looked like you did a full release including the leash. Is this always the protcol when riding in (big) waves as performing a "self-rescue" is to risky getting tangled in the lines?

@willywendt6200

3 жыл бұрын

Yes it is! The Kite is just Stuff do not risk your life for Stuff. Often someone get your Kite and give it back to you. But getting your Surfboard is often a live insurance and a good way to go fast back to the Beach. So in some bad action make sure you get your Board and let off the Kite. Wave-Fightclub Rule number one “Don’t Drop!!!”

I don’t think he meant to release the leash, hopefully Kevin will chime in. If you release completely the kite could hurt someone on the shore. Just flagging the kite will let the wave pass through it and usually drag you to shore. If your flagged kite is drifting over a reef, best to swim toward the shore but away from the flagged kite to keep the lines taught, less likely to catch the reef. Then reset kite if you make it over the reef.

@@daversj pretty sure a complete/full release is what you are supposed to do in those waves, and that is what he did. You want to be completely detached from your kite so you don't get dragged when a wave catches it, and to avoid line tension that will cut through your canopy when the kite rolls in the wave.

@daversj

@@strekke1986 i have dumped my kite many times in waves, inevitable in wave sailing. Never had to fully release, just flag it. If you feel you will get hurt or drown release it. Otherwise just flag it. I would rather my kite get destroyed than hurt someone else in the water or on the shore. I chose a do a sport that has some risk. People on the shore made no such assumption of risk, and don’t know the risks of a kite and lines bouncing down the beach. The wind looked lite that day so the danger was less. Release a kite on a typical Cape Town day of 30kts and it would have kept going up the beach and into the road. Those are my rules, but maybe others do it differently.

@@daversj He did a full release and that was his intention, as that is what you are supposed to do in those conditions. You can see he picks up the bar out of the water, he surfs back to shore unattached, and lastly Kevin commented above that it indeed is a full release that you are supposed to do. In big waves like that you will get dragged under backwards from your harness if you have only released the chickenloop, which is even worse than being dragged forward. Even more dangerous, the wave can push you into your lines while still attached by the leash, and then that same wave will catch your kite and then you are tangled and dragged under and in real trouble. Golden rule is to get away from your bar and lines ASAP when dealing with serious waves. And then try and get to the shore ASAP, preferably before your kite starts tumbling over the beach yes (although most of the time it will settle down quite easily once it lands correctly, which it eventually always does). In small waves a full release is not always a must, because you can problably relaunch, but even then you can get tangled and in trouble or damage the kite.

hey what kite is this? :)

More surfboard!!!

Can anyone answer when Kevin said release it, did he just release the kite with the bar/lines detached from the harness?

Dann Crazy early

9:50 what is it?

Yes men

Song Name @ 07:29 ?

If one doesn't release the kite, the risk is to be pulled under water while the wave is pulling the kite (plus the tension can brake something) better not to try :)

9:51 WTF ?????

Work it bitches!

Don’t EVER do what he said! Unless you want to decapatate or severely injure someone. The most irresponsible thing a pro can tell you. Quick release, but not your kite fully. Yes your kite may tear, but fully release your kite?! Wtf were you thinking.

Das pech supermodel weg🤷‍♂️

C’est un tuto comment atterrir tout seule 😂
