Combining a passion for outdoor activities with my Mechanical Engineering studies.
My name is Thomas and this channel is for anyone who loves outdoor activities (especially kitesurfing) or wants to follow along with my ventures and learn from them.
This channel closes the gap between the fancy edited footage you see everywhere on the internet and the real life experience of a ‘professional amateur’ trying to get there and learning stuff along the way.
This channel is more on a personal level than the bigger channels out there. Through this channel I can express my creative side which, in my opinion, has not been developed enough during my studies.
By following along with me, we’ll learn about anything from videography and editing to music production and branding. With the focus on mastering sports activities. Feel free to subscribe or reach out to me if you see anything you like! Any support is much appreciated.

where is this along the coast ?
Must've been de Zandmotor back in the day when it wasn't too crowded still
Brilliant! Loved this video! About to have my first lesson on the English side of the north sea! Can't wait. You are very funny ....in ten seconds I am about to crash
This is sick wow
Thanks bro can really recommend trying it some day!
Learn to edge better so get back upwind .. bk to were u started
Thank for the tip! Riding upwind is already going a lot better in the meantime
I just realized how lucky I am to be in Perth - Western Australia haha👍🏼
That's literally on the other side of the world from me, how cool's that! Thanks bro
Wanneer komt er weer een nieuw video?
Hi Tom, thanks for reaching out! Appreciate you. I have 1 video in the making, but lots of stuff has happened since last year. I'm also graduating from university at the moment. I'm planning on kiting through the winter so expect to see more videos by then. Stay stuned and more to come in the next few months. Regards, Thomas
Like yr videos bro! Keep the English 😞
Thanks bro, appreciate you. Will do next time! ;)
Which line mount Is this?
Hi Samuele, the line mount was one of the cheapest I could find, but it's working properly. If you have a high v-split, it's sometimes hard to reach. Hope this helps! tinyurl.com/vvtphsa9
Yo waar kan ik zo een tandwiel kopen die voorwaarts en achterwaarts rijd?
Hey Driss, ik denk dat je hier naar op zoek bent www.bikester.nl/reverse-single-speed-kit-M121721.html?vgid=G358884&_cid=21_1_-1_9_1227_358884_436292921422_pla&ef_id=CjwKCAjwyIKJBhBPEiwAu7zllwoxWkq4k-7TNwBVKVIPJ7PnNByQTFld4zg1DT-Q5gfPuYX5zVEFzxoCKSoQAvD_BwE&ev_chn=shop&campaign_detail=smart_shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwyIKJBhBPEiwAu7zllwoxWkq4k-7TNwBVKVIPJ7PnNByQTFld4zg1DT-Q5gfPuYX5zVEFzxoCKSoQAvD_BwE, dan kun je een normale fiets ombouwen tot fixed gear. Wel goed controleren of het met jouw type fiets kan. Mogelijk heb je ook een nieuwe crank nodig. Hoop dat dit helpt!
Je kunt ook direct een fixed gear of baanfiets kopen, zijn vaak niet duur door het kleine aantal onderdelen en de simpliciteit
@@tdj1349 yoo dankjewel man
cool hard man
Thanks man!
what kind of earphones and music setup do you use?
These are the Surfears 3.0 and are actually designed to let sound through. I think it's important to listen to your environment and l never listen to music during kiting. That being said, Kevin Langeree posted a video last year presenting some good waterproof earphones. Hope this helps - TdJ
Half zeven --> 5h30 not 6h30, i think, cool video
If I was living in the UK you would be right (7.30 I believe though), but in The Netherlands 'half seven' means 6.30 ;) Thanks for watching!
Good video, the real deal the North Sea, how many days/year can you approx kite in that spot? Thanx
Thanks for the support! At our surfing club there are a lot of 'centurions' - kiters with more than 100 sessions per year. With the upcoming foil surfing I can imagine this will become even more!
Super nice video dude!!! looking forward for your next one!
Thanks man, I'm following your videos too! Looking forward to seeing our TH-cam communities grow
Yeah due!! getting some good hangtime in there! super nice video!
Still working on it but definitely improving indeed!
Mmm .. disagree 🤣 end of season 🤣 so the wind just stops .... watch kevllog 3 times king of air world champion ..... he kites 24/7 ... say end of season to him !
End of Season .....wtf ..... please there are no seasons to kitesurf
Although I agree with you, I think most people won't! There's considerably less people on the water. Appreciate you bro.
Should be a national crime to pull down your surf club, come to Australia mate, no fear of that happening here.
I totally agree! Would love to come to Australia one day, but don't think anything like that's happening soon.. Cheers
Are you kiting during the winter?
voor grotere sprongen, moet je harder varen! Zie dat je niet heel veel power had , zou voortaan een iets grotere kite nemen, beter te veel dan te weinig.
Thanks Tijn! Heb alleen een 9 en 7m helaas. Een 12 er bij zou inderdaad beter zijn voor dit soort dagen! Maar dan worden de kites ook weer zo traag.. Dus misschien een surfboardje beter
really good riding there ! and super nice edit!
Thanks Mikkel Hansen, we keep on trying
Why does all of these nice Kiting Videos have annoying, loud music on? Is it obligatory? Ufff....
Honestly.. Because the wind noise of the camera is overwhelming ;) What do you suggest to do instead?
Great vid..
Thanks! Is it normal that I can do a backroll transition but not a regular backroll while kiting straight?
@@tdj1349 probably because your using the kite for lift, try using a bit of swell to help pop off the water and do the roll, normal for most because they don't practise load and pop, once you start popping and getting a couple of feet you can then throw in your backrolls..
Back roll/front roll, you can kitesurf with a tt, kitesurfing is when you kite and use the swell, good practice for when you progress to a directional
Your one biggest mistake using the tt, Get A SurfBoard!! That swell was awesome..
Absolutely, I've been wanting to try that out for a long time! Would you recommend putting straps on the surfboard at first?
@@tdj1349 personally i hate straps, i like to move my feet around, but to learn its easier allegedly, i've never used straps..
@@freddydad1 Thanks for the advice, appreciate it!
niceeee!!!!
G'day from Australia! Saw your comment on Brian G, cool content subscribed!!
Appreciate you. I saw you've done some surfing before, did you ever try kitesurfing?
@@tdj1349 Not yet!
Cool!

Wonderful my friend, amazing
Thank you, much appreciated!
What trick should I learn next?
Great video again!
Thanks Floris!
Hope you enjoyed this video and please consider subscibing to my channel! I noticed some spelling mistakes but I'll improve my captions with the upcoming videos. Stay stafe. Stay tuned.
the wind is so strongbe safe.
Will do, thanks ;)
wow
Wonderful.
cool!
What other ways do you know to safely self launch?
you probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of weeks =)
@Easton Colt yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
Cool video, liked the analysis
Thanks!
Do you like these kinds of video analyses?
I noticed you keep the bar pulled most of the time, relax it and steer the kite at a high angle doing small fast bar movements, push with your back foot and relax the front foot and keep trying to rotate your body upwind, from time to time you will need to dive the kite aggressively to regain speed. Also you can time it so that you are riding behind the wave on its back face or the flat behind it so its force doesn't push you downwind. This technique helps with going upwind with light wind. Sometimes it takes time more than you think but you will be able to make it upwind don't give up.
Thank you for the feedback! I will try steering the kite more and letting go of the bar pressure - great tip. The tide was unfavorable the day of the video, which made it even harder. Tomorrow's windy again
@@tdj1349 Cool, enjoy!
Cool edit bro!
Appreciate you bro!
Niceeee ✌✌😍
