New to kitefoiling I ventured out for the first time in high seas and overpowering conditions…
Most people think of kitefoiling as a low wind flat water sport…
Some venture out in waves…
But I confess my thing is rough well behaved seas…going up and down ocean swells…at least 15 to 25 knots…
The climb…seeing far from ontop the crest on my high mast…forward feet and riding down…
Just dont see videos…inspiration…it may be hard to film such conditions…
If anybody has one…please share…
