Best of Airstyle Kiteboarding 2015

Go on-board with FLYSURFER rider Lukash Vogeltanz and swoop through his 2015 kiteboarding year. Lukash his passion is old-school kitesurfing, or airstyle as many call it today. Which means going big, with all kinds of board-off variations, slides and transitions with unique trick combinations. We as FLYSURFER Kiteboarding love this style of kiting, since it comes as close to flying with a kite as possible.
See Lukash rip on the SONIC Full Race kite and his beloved RADICAL5 127cm twintip kiteboard in Hurghada & Ras Sudr.

does he get out of the darkslide with a downloop instead of a kiteloop? (at 2.00 min I mean)

[Toby]

If you have power you don't need to loop for a Darkslide.

And one you loose power it can be kite loop or down loop to get going again.

Hello Toby, hello guys,
Is someone know how does he do to block his bar during the jump? Does exist some micro loop system that I can adapt on the flysurfer infinity 3.0 airstream bar? I have the sonic as well. And I'm not able to use the ball stopper when I jump. Maybe someone can explain me if there is no possibility for micro loop how can I jump well using the ball stopper at the same time. ThX guys.

[Toby]

yes, he is using a stopper to hold the bar down.
I use a microloop...which in my opinion is much better...faster in and out, plus the bar stays more powered.

But when I do rotations I don't use the microloop. Only if I need both hands (like a Front 360 Board Pass).

I explained how to use the stopper on my DVD...you may want to get it on www.airstyle.tv or watch on demand https://vimeo.com/ondemand/airstyle/
Or get the App "Airstyle" on IOS or Android.

It is in the "How To Jump - Land - Crash" section.

Thanks Toby, I'll have a look at it.I just ordered a t handle for my board.for the next airstyle step.
Anyway do you propose some solution for the micro loop and flysurfer kites?

[Toby]

welcome!

The handle will already help.

Get an old North bar from 2009-2012, buy the Microloop upgrade kit, and use this with your kite.
Although Flysurfer wanted to develop a bar with a Microloop...but didn't hear anything about it since a while...

OK thanks you .
