I quite liking wave aparent wind at the moment.

In cross on conditions if its marginal loop onto a wave and ride it in upwind. The wave pushing you speeds you up and you get more aparent wind and power at the kite. Then you can crank upwind better than not being on the wave.

very cool.

I am glad you traded "wheels" for "fins" and liking it
Because you like landboarding so much as you said in a previous post

What if you could ride "moving sand dunes" shaped like waves....that would really make your day :D
That would be the best of both worlds for you

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm :clap:

Lets face it i ride what ever is better for the conditions. Onshores on on the landboard. Cross on and cross i'm on the water. To be far most of the time its cross on so i'm on the water more than the land.

The session today was sweet. 18-35 knots of cross shore gustyness with head high sets rolling in.

But when a good land sessions makes itself known i'm there!.

Sand dunes are sweet to ride!. Fast forward to 6 mins for some sanddune boarding on whats like a massive standing wave. Very cool.
