If all the BM posts could be deleted from this thread, there was quite a bit of useful, fun, amazing, interesting material in here. Thanks to all the non-BM contributors for the info.

Watch, and maybe 6 years from now......with a lot of practice you will regret your words.

Look at the spray, Robert!

Good point, snap off all the BM's and it's a great read. I notice that there is a sewage treatment plant right on the point, someone tell the kid not to put that water in his bong. But if it helps him think he's ripping, well who am I to say he isn't? I wish I could see myself on video and imagine I am blowing it up. Strap on another Go-Pro, Kid. Entertain us. I sure can't hang on unhooked like that. Someone tell Ian and Patrick, James, and all the rest of the young shredders at my local they need to get a hook on. Can anyone weld Stainless? I just hacked my last one off. The new Messiah is here and he's off the hook.

Toby, the Hook!

My father and i raced on a 16 ft sailboat ...where you are from...at Hayling Island UK
Wayfarer Class World Championship in August of 1974

Yes big kites have their place and some really great wave sessions are totally possible on them

Those who only have a 12m as their largest kite...miss so many days of fun LW kitesurf per year

I personally get high riding surfboard with any size kite...in any wind speed..using the ocean air

Surfing waves backside looks better than kiting them backside. And just going straight on a wave while backside looks fine but for kiting where you are making turns on the wave frontside is so much better.

I'll believe anyone is riding waves on 19m kites when I see it. Guarantee if anyone was kiting on one of those blimps I could go on my 12 and strapless fish. You need a big strapless board for light wind not a little tiny board that sucks going upwind then you won't need such huge kites.

LW 4 U is defininely low end of 12 kn and that is not light wind...you have no LW experience dude
