some proper Wave foiling with a Kite

Yeah, that's nice. Kinda what I'm trying to do. Except I'm not as good.

Nice one, smooth nice carving. That's pretty much the goal right there!

I find the top turn is fairly straightforward, the really challenging part is initiating the bottom turn after, in dealing with all the extra acceleration from dropping in. There's a lot of commitment in stomping that bottom with speed, versus just running out in front to the wave to bleed off speed (but then that wrecks the down the line carving flow!)

And then of course, there's figuring out what to do with the kite while all this is going on. With it quite different if wind direction is onshore or sideshore.

There's a lot of things going on at once, many factors to balance in order to find and maintain flow!
