Videos - Kiting Hookipa 1996 & The First Instructional Video 1998
"Manu Bertin filmed by Mat Pendle in 1996 at Hookipa, Maui Hawaii, probably the first kiteboarding footage ever. In 1998, this video was about all that I had to figure out kitesurfing along with information on the Internet. Good things are a lot easier today! http://inflatablekite.com/wipika1997...ages/cool6.jpg A shot from the Wipika website, 1997-98 from http://inflatablekite.com/wipika1997-98/Default.htm This is all we had, two lines, no quick release and no leash (in this case). I did have a leash with the 8.5 m Wipika I bought in August 1998. It consisted of a wrist cuff attached to a line that ran a wing span width up one of the flying lines. Drop the bar and the kite is flown from a wingtip depowered. . |
