That's not "wave kiting" - that's some lame Euro spin tipper trying to get a "wave kiting" photo to send home to his Hattie - from his WA "surfing trip".........

Where are his boardies?

Their under his wetsuit

bring on the waves !! nothing like boosting off those naturally made ramps.
the sport is diverse why pidgen hole it to one area.i love mixing it up.

FlapJack is taking the P## lol

Thats not a wave !!!! Its shorebreak

I like how he looks so serious - hes hardcore - he rocks - the legend lives

I 'd rather wach someone carve a 1 foot crapy onshore white water shorebreak than someone doing litle wank flick in the air (even with handle pass)
I guess we all have our own preferences

so lame...

Its easy to pick a Pom or a Euro kitesurfer because there wearing a wetsuit when the water temp is like a warm bath. That ones for Australia day.

"wave kiting is lame"
no
your mums pretty lame

Hi peeps,

Why are you all so concerned with what others are doing? It would seem that the ego has taken control in so many riders now that you have forgotten the true meaning of the term "freedom of expression".

When ego gets control, it becomes necessary to belittle others in order to make themselves seem to stand taller in order to fit in. Sorry guys, but cool is doing it your own way and flying in the face of what is termed appropriate or "cool", that takes courage and deserves respect.

Soul surfing is becoming a lost art in the all consuming effort to be cool, to be noticed and respected by others. To be riding the "right" board, wearing the "right" attire, flying the "right" kite and riding the "right" way. Come on people, where is riding purely for the stoke If hitting the 1 foot foamy and throwing a bucket of water lights you up, then keep doing it.

The crowd has lost it's way and has sold out to the marketing dweebs whimsical fancies. Try something new ...... cut your own groove, invent your own trick, and ride differently if you want to and most importantly, don't judge others, you don't know anything about them or what they enjoy. Get REAL!

He who smiles most wins!

All true.

Wave kiting is being "pimped" by all the majors as "the way to go" as that means you will be wanting to buy the "new and improved ultimate wave riding machine". Also look how many boards they get to sell; you buy one, you break it, you buy another one, you break it... and so it continues. Not to mention the fact you would have bought free style stuff to learn on.

spot one's photo also just shows how people reckon they are wave riding when all they are doing is racing ahead of the wave. There is no real wave riding there.

rabble

So you don't find this inspiring. ????

Why dont you just go buy a boat and go wakeboarding then.

Who cares? Why do you find what someone else is doing so offensive? If they are enjoying themselves, your opinion is worthless and unnecessary.

I know you will find this hard to comprehend, but some people ride for their own pleasure and push their own limits for personal satisfaction, not to impress you and your mates

Just go ride and ponder these thoughts.

Good winds,

flapjack = lame
sorrry bud

I love racing in front of a big wave. As long as I THINK i'm waveriding, thats all that matters in MY head.

ben wilson has a poo stance! bad look! but hes having fun ya.

what a bunch of w*nkers some of you faceless mofo's on seabreeze forums are ...dissn' anything that's out on the water. clue up, enjoy your own ride and if something pisses you how bout mentioning face to face with your nemesis, instead of hiding behind your computer and punching keys in anger! you chumps belong in a sewing circle

It's about the same as putting up a pic of a guy with poostance and saying freestyle is lame.

I am lame ....... and I love it. Flapjack is just stirring and people have bitten - he is a young man who has not learnt the difference between positive and negative attention..... or perhaps he has not learned to log himself off when he is at a mates computer and it is not flapjack at all ? Either way the young grasshopper will sort himself out one way or the other....

i can do those cool little backroll transitions now... now that aint lame.. its sweet as

hey i had the surfboard on flat water yesterday only had 1hr free all day had to go early and miss the swell and wind latter
still had fun

This thread has brought out some feelings!!

Never seen so many green thumbs followed by red thumbs.

Methinks all disciplines are fun and whogivesash1t what anyone else thinks.

Keeps a smile on my dial :)

I off to race a few wave faces, with any luck a few might catch up to me.
