Re: Riding waves backside....
Frontside riding wins. 
Many tried to argue for backside riding and then posted pics and video of surfing backside to show it looks ok without a kite but still nobody was at all convinced riding backside with a kite in waves is a good idea

BM... you can do it... you are so close to making 200 posts in 30 days... probably the most amazing part of this ridiculous thread. I am glad I can do my part to keep it at the top of the forum list

Riding in a straight line is the only time backside wave kiting looks ok. Make a turn and it looks like shit.

Damn didn't know the post count police was watching.

Re: Riding waves backside....
Yeah I do - it just doesn't look good. This is a thread about aesthetics; anyone can comment on that - claiming Authority from Ability is a requirement to comment is nonsense.Bob Marley wrote:Kamikuza wrote:Nonsense - laid out heel-to-toe carving turns look great and feel even better.Bob Marley wrote:Riding in a straight line is the only time backside wave kiting looks ok.
