Great vid. Been getting discouraged on Strapless at same age being at it for 2 years also thinking I'm just not flexible enough anymore. But give us inspiration to go try again. Still holding off being old man standing on a stick. (foiling)
Ha! Thanks, Youn. 🤙🏽 One of the best things I ever did for my strapless kitesurfing progression was to ditch all of my other boards entirely for nearly three years. I'd hop on a twin or a foil a couple of times each season, but that's it. It's highly beneficial to dial in your footwork in flat-water conditions and then work your way into small waves. Good luck, my friend. -Aaron
Hi, I do exactly the same backloop as you do, but can't manage to switch to more elegant / grabless backroll without the "transition" motion of the kite. Any tips ? The board just don't stick to my feet... Thanks !
Thank you for sharing the stoke with us, my friend! 🤙🏽 Pro Tip: try Sticky Bumps Punt Wax. Good winds to you. -Aaron stickybumps.com/punt-bit-bar-70f-below/
Great vid. Whenever I see Marc at PM, I stop and just watch. He's just one of the most graceful, elegant riders. Thanks
Thank you, Kevin. 🤙🏽 Marc is indeed our local "Friendly Dolphin", and one that we all learn from. -Aaron
Good info regarding the kite 🤙
Thank you, Viking. 🤙🏽 I gotta get out there with Marc and learn this one myself. Hope it helped, my friend. -Aaron
