+1 on the Vid. Seeing the reel bar and tossing the kite up in the air to launch brings back memories. Not all good ones. Was fun learning.

BTW Supa thanks for that video link! good to look back...
funny to think how much of the appeal in early days was how "lit up" riders were, while now depower and user-friendliness is the definition of the sport for most.
Well, we're mortal, it is good to be able to turn it down

Supa thanks for that video -- super fun to watch. My first job was on Long Island NY and being a midwestern boy it was amazing to go out and watch the windsurfers light it up !!

My first time up on a kiteboard was 09 so great to see what the early days were like

Never launch your kite on a bitch. She might get really angry.

Plus there is a nice "russian launch"...with reel bar........... at 2:20min

Time warp 40m 2 line wipikas 5.0M....29 inches bar....zero depower.. strap surfboards with leashes...

And everyone was happy to be out there
