I'll go first...
1) to finally get a Jesus walk (after 2 years of trying lol)
2) to break my 34ft boost record
3) to get a truly inverted board off...what I thought was inverted was not, after looking at the pics
4) to be as great of a podcaster as Colin Colin Caroll

Skill related:
* get good enough at foiling that I can stay dry if I want to by learning foot switches and upwind tacks (hopefully just a couple of months)
* switch from flat water to spots with waves on the foil after above
Other goals:
* Spend less than 2020 on gear
Should not be hard though. Got me a carbon foil, aluula kite and 4 other kites this year. 
* Spend more on travel. This year was a no-travel abroad year. Really hoping to go out to some spots after getting vaccinated.
(Although I arguably spend lots on travel by getting a new car this year which is pretty much just used for kitesurfing, but lets not think to long about that )

Re: What are your (kiteboarding) goals for 2021?
Wish i could do 50 of them...
For me it will be a nice long darkslide.
I'm making strange progress, I learned some pretty nice tricks this year (backroll) kiteloops and onefooters but still no F**king frontroll..

Some things just do not compute in the brain and take way longer then they should to learn.Leon van Bergen wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 8:41 amI'm making strange progress, I learned some pretty nice tricks this year (backroll) kiteloops and onefooters but still no F**king frontroll..
e.g. darkslides on the goofy direction. I sorta can make them work if I do enough of them in a single session but my brain REALLY does not like them.
