I'm wondering,

As an unhooked sort of guy, what, Lourocks, do you find most pleasing about being unhooked?

What's the one thing that makes it so sweet for you...?

Just curious,

right-on,, rock-on with just yo hands on

Thanks

i always practice my unhooked maneuvers regardless of condition. I find working on something i haven't got yet is what really keeps me kitesurfing sometimes. We have very choppy water here in the bay or in the ocean and i still unhook and throw stuff regardless.

Gusty wind can make it difficult but i still give it a shot when everything aligns just right. it's obviously a lot more difficult to stick when conditions are more adverse.

Yeh should be fine, good practice for ya.
Dont think of the condition as a disadvantage, use it to your advantage.
:idea:
Do blind stuff in lulls and pass off the water when theres wind.
Find the flatter water to land in :wink:

simply go back a few paces ... you can't throw an s-bend in these nasty conditions - go and re-learn the raley first. you got that dialed in - go for the s-bend (again).

look on the upper side: if you nail a trick in these conditions - you'll nail it anywhere.
