Beautiful day at Wrightsville Beach! No wave so hunting little rollers off the jetty wall. Skimboard at ultra low tide can't be beat!

Switch 6M Surf Wing Unboxing, Beach Fun and Review
great video! I like the surfing on top of the world effect.
Yeaaaaaah maaaaaan!!!
Nice to see a Switch kite.
@@billc7765 Dude my Nanos are still practically brand new. Best kite ever! Gonna run them into the sea!
Christmas Eve and Christmas day were back to back incredible pow days! Thankful I was there there to enjoy it. Love that mountain! Good to see Santa gettin some too! Great vid!
You still riding Switch kites?
I will ride my Nanos till I cant than back to the old drawing board of which manufacture to ride. Probley go back to Slingshot. That's what I rode before /switch. Sad they went under. After they got bought the whole new marketing scheme was a death wish. People saw right through the BS. Felix kept it afloat way longer than it should have lasted. Cheers to you Bill!
Hello. How did you get your kite from China?
just order on switch website. Switchkites.com Free shipping and deals going on right now
As you’ve probably figured out by now, It’s a lot easier to flip the wing when you’re holding it with one hand on the neutral (as opposed to taxi) handle and pivoting the wing around that leverage point. I have the same wing I picked up used. Apart from the handles, and the bladder separating on my second session, I thought it was great. Enough so that I’m bothering to spend an extra hundred bucks to repair it and put it back into service 😎
Yeah. That was the first day with it on the beach. Thanks for posting
Very cool! How do/did you get into this sport? We just moved to wilmington this past august and I am a beginner surfer. Does it help to be an intermediate surfer before trying this or can one jump right in?
The way you get into kite surfing is to take lessons. There's a couple guys around here that teach but going to the outer Banks is where I learned
Which model was being discussed at 3:20?
Nano
@@toddrobinson431 Good kite. My friend has the 12m.
@@billc7765 I approve of that comment 😁. Todd, Rich A. Here. I bought the demo 12m Nano from you. 👍
Sweet. So I put the drone down five years ago and took a job overseas protecting our military bases from them using electronic warfare. What a twist huh? I still remember filming you on WB five years ago. Somehow you made it super easy for me to stay on you and not I was relaxed about it too. Let me know next time you go out!
Hi Michael. Are you in ILM or on base in JAX? Will do. Wind been kind of fluky lately.
Love some low tide with wind!
New kite and bar, what's not to like?
Was the wind side-shore or side off? 😬💀
almost straight off shore
thanks for your review! It's hard to find information about Switch kites here on YT. Do you know the weight of this kite?
nice surf footage! I'm looking at this kite specifically for surfing - how is the drift and depower on this compared to other dedicated surf kites like the Helium, Cabrinha Drifter, or Core Section if you've ridden any of those? I'm not sure how much better a dedicated surf kite would be vs the Nano, and the upside of the Nano is I can still jump and twin tip with it if I want.... but if the surf performance isn't as good as a true surf kite (the sheet-out depower on the Core Section is unbelievable).... looks to be pretty solid here
How are you liking the wing? Any thing you would change or other wings you would consider?
Hi Todd, thanks for the unboxing, it's far more helpful than anything on the website. Have you had it out in lightwind yet? How has it been? What PSI is needed? Thanks!
I havent had it out in light wind yet. Not sure on PSI just pump it til the LE becomes rock hard and you cant bend it. I just keep squeezeing it every couple pumps once it seem done. When you can't squeeze a indent than you know your done. Also when you take it out and your pumping the wing to get going if it seems floppy and un responsive it needs more air.
Good review. Good family time. Great bladder massage!
You are crazy!
It looks closer than it is on the go pro.
thanks Todd-great review!!! Here is a Maui unboxing...we love the wing life here on Maui..the Switch Surf Wing is the cool low price wing that works!!! th-cam.com/video/kcvelY3F1wU/w-d-xo.html
Awsome! My buudy Scott says it beats the big brands on float behind and wing drag!
Hey Todd, I enjoy your reviews. I'm currently on a 12m E6 as my biggest "light wind" kite. I'm happy to see you've reviewed the Nano 12. I'm curious how you like it compared to the E6? Is it significantly better in light wind?
About the same. The biggest difference is how fast it turns for a 12M
@@toddrobinson431 Thanks. I appreciate the advice.
Liked the review. at least in the beginning, but music was too loud and annoying in the 2nd part (for me).
Yeah never got around to re edit.
Thanks for the 'yank' tip.
Leading edg get damage scratch . Anchor your kite best way to make your kite last longer .
for sure!
Good video and great tip on the self launch. im actually one of the few people at my local that back rig as well, i started doing that technique back in about 2008 and have not front rigged since, doesnt make sense to front rig with a bridled kite, although i used to on X2s and Rhino 02s back when i started.
Yup. Cant check lines easy on front rig.
If you put Angelwax H2go on the lens it makes the water drops fall straight off. It's a water repellent. Works great 😉👌
the switch kites are really good kites plus extremely affordable. A great investement. Dont be affraid to use my referral code if you consider buying one: 783167 ;)
i bought 9 and 11 i love it
Man, I can't believe how cheap Switch kites are. I am shopping a new quiver to use in the waves and I can get 3 Elements for half of what other brands cost. You mention its pretty good in the waves. What kites are you comparing it to?
