Congrats on the backrolls and jumps. I tried and landed my first unhooked kiteloops out there yesterday... easier than I expected but not as fun as hooked in because I can't do them as high... need a lot more practice.
unhooked looks so much better, and you can do them very high.

as high as you want, theres many ways of doing an unhooked kiteloop

I can't believe you guys are riding that stinky flat water muck hole on a SW! LOL! This is the ideal direction for wave jumping! It only happens once in awhile, next time you should take advantage of it if you ride left foot forward.

Ah well glad you got out there to ride, it was a blast at PAG. The water was blue and green, and the waves were fairly clean inside with chop on the outside. Lots of girls in bikinis asking for rides.
Damn it, I saw you... next time give me a call 455-7504

Oh yeah no doubt Josh... like I said it's my technique, I need more practice on the unhooked loops. Did them first try, but the timing was a little off.

Kev, I'll call next time. Will put your # in my cell.

so yesterday at backside i pulled a front roll on the very first attempt.. got enough height in the jump and just threw my body around.. landed square and just had to send the kite a little more aggressive to get back on a plane.. (light winds)..

cut to my next 6 attemps where i ate sea water and lots and lots and lots of that green stringy muck sh*t that is always floating around at BS..

couldnt hit a single one after my initial success..

oh well..

wind was there, barely.. i'll blame it on that..

good times.

I did the same thing... I used to be able to do front rolls off either foot, but I have completely lost them off my left foot. wtf!
