Solid skills in the waves though!
LOL. Skilled windsurfers - like these guys can land jumps, with loops, with no problem. But yeah kitesurfing is much better suited to jumping: much better boost from the kite because of the leverage from the lines & much better float from the kite while in the air. However, these guys are out in conditions that no kitesurfer could even attempt. Throwing a double on a windsurfer in 50+ knots ... insane!Hugh2 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2019 4:11 amI never understood the allure of front or back loops windsurfing, despite the fact I would never have had the nerve to try them. The landing seems hard and awkward compared with landing a kite jump, and even I can jump far higher with a kite than any windsurfer ever will. The jumps on the face of the waves are cool, and I find hard to do with a kite.
