I downloaded this about a year ago... used it 1 or 2 times. Found it to be really boring and frustrating and deleted it. Maybe I'll try it again now that it's January and won't stop raining.

Overall Impression: Totally Rad!

Suggestions for future updates:

-Add sheeting. That would definitely take this to the next level and complete the system.

-view on screen should stay level as you tilt side to side for kite steering when not using thumb control bar option.

-Park features / obstacles / more stuff to jump over or weave through? Boats, docks, reefs, sand bars, whales etc
(The existing islands/rocks in the cape town section is a good start)

-surfboard and hydrofoil board options would be cool

- Wildlife, including the occasional shark attack in freeride mode (why not - its a video game :) )

-Appreciative gal on the beach? Or even better- a choose male or female rider option ;)

There are many control options in the settings. (Upper right corner)
Bar on left or right, etc OR tilt side to side instead (for more realistic kite steering), Same for board controls.

Just cant set on tilt mode for both bar and board. Accelerometer (tilt mode) for bar is side to side, for board front to back. Use the most sensitive setting

Ive gotten best results from kite set on accelerometer (tilt phone left right), and board steering on thumb slider toggle.

I just started this game again, I tried to play it a little on iPhone. But now I bought it also for Android.
And am streaming it on Twitch TV, this my channel https://twitch.tv/Pentiummania
If anyone visit could you maybe consider a follow since i am trying to get 50 followers for twitch affiliate ? Then I can try to apply for a sub button, which is a subscription which starts at $4.99 a month, twitch streamers get half of that as far as I know. But that's not everything ofcourse.
I am this far on Twitch:
Path to Affiliate
Reach 50 followers 38/50

30-day Performance (08/11/19 - 07/12/19) View 30-day stats
Stream for 8 hours 22.06/8
Stream on 7 different days 10/7
Average of 3 viewers in 22.06 hours streamed 0.88/3

To receive invitation to the Affiliate Program, you must simultaneously meet all four requirements over a 30-day period. Learn more

In the kiteboard hero mobile game I need to do the carving turns again

I also streamed some real kiteboarding in the past, unfortunately those streams (VODs) are not on Twitch anymore. But it was nothing special you could only see my kitespots near my home, which I could reach with my bike.

If this post get's deleted it would be a waste for this topic in my opinion.
I am giving this game a try again because they created a new kitespot in the game, CapeTown.

Hey, anyone still plays this game? Shame they stopped developing it.
It may sound weird but it actually taucht me a few things on big air. Some things I wouldn't dare to try in real life or thought possible.
I still enjoy playing it. Fresh new video!
