Can you go ahead and give us a reason to believe you? You claim to be such a wind expert, and we just want to see something. Anything will do...
Gave up the 21 foil kite a year ago...
...was only getting one more knot of low end (7) in surf where i ride
And when the wind got to 10kn...it was pretty much useless to me at 165lbs...
...i like the feel of large efficient / fast turning (to me) LW tube best
Gave up windmeter in 2000..after my first year...totally useless to "measure" wind below 10 knots
There are so many types of wind...that the rule is..even if very very light wind...try anyway and go...
....some winds are just special like that...you could waterstart..dive the kite once..park it and go
Those sessions are very surreal and fun...
The kite may barely fly overhead...during waterstart...one dive then you go effortlessly over glass
No sining the kite at all...yet there is no wind...to the observer on the ground watching you
Certain type winds from certain directions at certain time of day ..
...with certain air temp & water temp....create a compounding effect so great...
...that it amplifies the power of the apparent wind created after only one dive of the kite
Now if you have experienced that before...great..otherwise..of can a video prove what i say?
Sessions like that can only be experienced if you try to go out no matter what with a LW kite
Just like Dimitri does....he goes out no matter what and tries....and many many times he succeeds
We live in a world where seeing is believing....if there is no video....how can we believe
Well take this example about those who believe in God ...and the written bible
Are we to conclude that because he made no video ...we have no real proof..of his presence
Faith is very powerful
Dimitri hides nothing...all we "see" is 100% real and true..yes..mind boggling..if 1st time seeing it!
I do not film myself or promote myself..kitesurfing is not a business...simply passionate about wind
I am not about to start doing that...it is just not me...i am pretty private in that way
