Hi guys, I need assistance from people familiar with photography. I need to learn about high optical zoom cameras. So over the years I have tried different ways to take videos of myself doing Big Air tricks but its always a mess as it can be hard to do huge tricks on crowded beaches right at the sho...
Wind in Cape Town has alot more push than same speed wind elsewhere. Air density is very high compared to other locations. Keep in mind the kite canopies are made of fabric - once the gaps in the fabric are saturated the rest of the wind is going to push the fabric wind trap much harder as it has no...
Was trying to meetup with Hugh here but no luck. Went with a friend who used to teach in CPT. From 1-3pm wind was good then it turned into a bunch of tempest like whirlwinds/dust devils. Finicky wind, shallow flat butter water. Easy to load/pop/boost but if you mess up not much water. The main stage...
I just arrived last night, all my gear arrived this time 😁 Last trip in 2020 I arrived to 55 kt winds and no gear, had to borrow a 9m XR6 and hold it down in that. While I did jump/loop it, the kite was not liking it and I did not get aggressive on someone else's gear. Wind looked stronger at Platb...
January 16-18, 2020 lookup the records And yes I did hold down a 9m XR6 because its all I had access to. Wide wind range on the kite, was def overpowered. At 240 lbs / 110 kg with a taste for Big Air, I am usually on a massive kite vs other people. Kept it depowered except on jump attempts where I w...
Go with a Rebel SLS, it is very different than prior years no -SLS Rebels. It will give you most of the boost/power of the XR with much of the ease of looping of a Dice. XR and older Rebels suck at looping. After that the Evo is better combo of boost/loop altho the quick turn of an Evo makes it hard...

Aight Hugh! I fly in to CPT this Sat, this year I managed to book it - my boss is going ballistic that Ill be gone 3.5 weeks from HI. Think I miss the 1/5 Cape Dr but I should be solidly acclimated for the next one. See if the Cape Dr will give me some gasoline! We can do the Sunset-> Haakgat downwi...
