Welcome back to another video, this time I am back at my nemesis kite spot on the south side of the Isle of Wight... a secret wave spot, that is definitely not to be taken lightly... last season I destroyed a 5m Rebel in the rocks here after an amazing wave session... this year I don't event get to ride that many waves before disaster strikes... Thank goodness for the new @DUOTONEKiteboarding #SLS
Strapless wave kitesurfing is my favourite way to take on the UK storm weather, big waves and strong winds. If I'm not free riding twin tip for big air, the waves are the way forward...
Finally I am being recognised for my talent of breaking things... and that is what they need!! ;) Check them out here: www.mous.co/?...

Really appreciate the 'realness' of this vid... and how things don't always go according to plan, even for the seasoned vets. Chin up Tom, you took that one like a champ! 🤙🤘👊👊
All makes for a good session in the end, that’s why we do it… to get out amongst it all!! 👍🤟
Took it like a crank
@@ianbardon8581 🤟🤟
@@tomcourtkite up yours too
Fair play, that launch! 👏🏼 That whole session seemed the definition of sketchy 😂 Spot should be called ‘Deaths Door’ 😂
haha, yea man full sketch for sure... exiting just getting out!!
The launch scenes… 10/10. pure skill. Pulling this off ain’t easy.
Bigup!! Master of sketch 😂😂😂
Seriously. Hats off!
not a clue, you would really put people off this sport, you had no control of any part of that situation.But glad to see you weren't hurt
I was in control the whole time!! 👍🤟😂
Guys a clown
Brilliant video, full of action and real-life excitement. Loved it and the superb photography… thanks for being so brave and testing and sharing - first rate action, Tom. :)
cheers man, thanks for enjoying it!! So much fun and full excitement :)
Duuuude! That is one sketchy launch!
😂😂🤟 for sure
Fucking hell, 12 minutes and 15 seconds of pure terror and tension… Congrats on being a fucking legend and facing this spot/conditions!
Tks for sharing!
👊🏻
Yea was rather tense for sure!! Got me fired up tho 😂😂🤟🤟
”Grand moment de solitude” when the kite get eaten by the wave. Great learning video.
It’s can always go wrong 😅😂
This made my heart rate go up 😂 great content mate 🤙🏽
Cheers bro! 🤟🤟
hahaha crazy stuff! Loved the rawness of the vid
Bigup!! 💪🤟
My anxiety went through the roof watching this, glad you are okay
😅😂🤟 keep it chilled
Man I was tense the whole time watching that vid. That’s a rough entry and exit but the surf looks so good
The potential was there… just a few degrees off on the wind direction I think 🤟🙏
Nice one Tom, makes my session today look easy.
😋🤟😂
Heavy shit, hard work but at the end great feeling. Keep it up Tom!
Yeww. Got to love it 🤟😂
Craigslist be like “light use maybe ridden 5 times”
1 careful owner…
Hey, i was wondering if its safe learning to loop on the flexifoil ion 7m (12 years old). I also have a north pulse 10m 2021 but i think 10m is to big to learn loops. What should i do learn with my 10 or with the old 7?
I think you will be much better off looping a newer kite as they will fly better and recover nicer… a 10m should be fine for your first low lever late loops etc
that didnt look one bit fun hahahahaha. daaamn tom. sketcky stuff!! That entry alone is ridiculous.
😂😂 yea bit of a dodgy setup 😝
Just MENTAL ~ Here I am on the east coast NC and just learning in the soft sandy perfect lagoons. You're out in the frigid rocky wastes of !?! It's a lesson for sure.
got to keep it interesting!! gnarly sessions are fun 😂😂
Definitely worth the sesh!
for sure 😂😂
damn dude! when you went off the cliff i felt every muscle in my body tension up and i sat there staring at my screen watching you get on the water. YOU are mental haha.
Glad you are okey and your gear isnt lost or broken!
Cheers bro!! Yea was a bit of a tense launch for sure!!
@@tomcourtkite haha only the launch?? bet the way back with those waves and kitelines everywhere was also sketch hahaha
@@aeroxapc yes the whole thing was sketchy, your right 😂😂
Duotone's top durability tester ;)
No holes bared!!! I test them to their limits mate ;)
Tom! I give you 100€ for the tangled bar hahahaha.
Thanks that you are safe and have the stills to ride in such conditions.
Lesson learned for everyone watching your video.
Keep ripping it!
The bar is totally fine, it will shred again no worries. No damage to kite or lines!! Boom.
Ready got another shreddy soon!!
At the very beginning we really feel how stressed you are and at that point I think I would have turn backward haha. Looks like your Neos like rocks there, it is good that you are not injured.
haha, yes it gets more nervous with every session there!! One day I will score the waves 👌👌
It would be cool if you gave a summary of what you did after kite went down. Pulled the safety and let wave take kite? Did you try and roll lines in water. I’ve been in this situation and tore my kite in half because I tried to relaunch and wave took my kite and I didn’t pull safety in time. I was amazed your kite survived
Yea there is no rule book for this sort of situation, however I would say that a deep water pack down or getting anywhere near the lines is a bad idea.
Main target, don’t loose any fingers. Get in safe, recover equipment later!’
Really wondering why did you go strapless wave riding on Rebel and not Neo (especially in such conditions..). It's pretty obvious in the vid that the kite's drift sucked so eventually it fell into the water. Looks like a nice day for a Neo 5 or 6 :). Anywayz tnx for sharing , looks good
Shows how important your kite choice is for sure!!! 😂🤟 it was the only small kite I had in the van 🤪
Nice sesh!
👍🤟🙏🙏
That was fckn intense bro!!! I felt ya!!! Glad your ok🤙🏼
🤟🤟🍺
Mad.
😂✌️👍
Wow scary spot
Today I learnt that I cannot hold my breath for 12 minute and 15 seconds. - Mate that spot is not your friend lol.Saw you wore booties this time to make life a bit easier for yourself hahaha
yea got the booties on!! Needed I think ;) 👍
Holy shit!! That’s some sketchy stuff
🤟😂 full sketch
Third times a charm.
That’s what I’m thinking 😂🤟
Looks like a classic Apollo 13! Failed successfully
Did you totally release your bar and swim in separately from the kite, making sure you didnt get tangled in the lines? I have always thought that is the best strategy if you down your kite in large waves and cant relaunch quickly.
Yes that’s what I did as I didn’t want to get levered around any rocks… risky strategy tho, as could loose while thing. But better than drowning!! 🙏🤟
So you put yourself in the same position twice?
Trying to master the spot! 😝😂 this was just the wrong kite I think
Hello. What kind of board did you use? Duotone model and size? 🤝
It’s the 5’2” duotone whip SLS it’s a sick board!! Also pretty strong 💪
That wind surfer had also to get into water the same way down to rocks?!
Yea for sure, but a windsurf doesn’t have a kite!!! 😂😂
You were ripping for a couple minutes there....that's all you need sometimes! Must have been fun sorting out that rats nest 😄
took a few hours on the sofa to get that mess sorted!! ✌️👌
Those gusts tho... Rebels dont like the gusts much at all. They just don't drift/float.
Yes there is a noticeable difference between models for sure
I was about to state the same. Rebels and this spot just don’t work together.
hate to say it, but i love this spot, glad you went back! did the photographer get and video of you from the cliffs?!
👍🤟 fun spot! Just shots from land 👍🤟
@@tomcourtkite are these just rare conditions for that spot? definitely want to see some footage from land!
That sad moment when you drop your kite right in front of a wave and you know it’s gonna be a rough time. I’ve been there bro. Not a good feeling.
So annoying!! 😋🤣😅
I wonder if a more specific wave kite would drift and save the day where the rebel doesn't, I know skinny leading edge have great upwind but less drift, I have used rebel on waves it's a NO GO compared wave kites
It’s may well have been different, but I think these gusts in this wind direction where a little aggressive for most kites 😅😂
@@tomcourtkite Do you prefer the Rebel with a surfboard in waves? How does it compare to a Evo or Neo?
@@dropthatfone I think the neo would be the best choice for waves for sure!!
I’ve got to give it to you,you’ve got guts to go back to that spot.Have you tried the Wingfoiling there yet?Might be safer.Keep up the great work.
haha. yes a mate of mine winged it the other day and lost his new wing completely!! Its a top challenge spot for sure
That breeze looked SO offshore... How did you manage to wash up on the beach!?
Yea pretty lucky to even keep the kite. The waves did the work! 🤟👌
You crazy man, why take a Rebel for those conditions?
😂😂 good question. For me dice is preferable…
Get the Pole board gear out!
Not sure it’s worth it… 😂😂 Ross was making it look nice tho!!
Dude, may this is not really your spot? However, chapeau for sharing this video. And good to know that this also happens Pros 😁 Feeling better now, same happend to me some yesrs ago on Cabo Verde. If you like I send you a pic of my Kite after....
😂😂 no I don’t go here that often for goood reason 😂 has to be done occasionally tho!! 🤟🤟
I think that spot is trying to tell you something, can you not downwinder too it ? That rebel wants to fallout the sky maybe switch to a wave kite or a different brand
yea I think I will use the dice next time... this is the easiest way to access for sure!!
Is this near freshwater Bay?
No not really
@@tomcourtkite Google maps guess!
@@alexanderwheeler4827 😂😂 same coastline tho 👍🤟
Thay kite was acting weird from the begining, i think it was to overpowered
yea for sure, and the wind was offshore from a cliff 😂😂✌️
what the fuck I just saw....:O
Might be a better spot for wing foiling? Intense gusts 💨
Maybe… 😂😂
good effort bro, but seemed like a lot of work for 2 foot slop?
😂😂 that’s the uk for you 🥂💪
Been there before . .
Yea it’s a nice spot!!
Dudddde, if your intention was to make a cringe worthy video, u succeeded, Big time
Haha. Keep you on the edge of your seat mate ;) 🤟🤟😋
Redefining "sketchy launch" again I see? Looks like on the water too you were on the underpowered side. That and big waves - not a great combo 😀
Side off shore!! 💨
After 15 kiteboarding years, at 60, definitely, I feel no pleasure or sense in these kind of ride. Too old maybe...
😅🤟 yes probably not worth it 😂😂
why not take a dice for wave ?!
good question... next time!
Yes but…… Was it worth it? 😂😂😂
always mate!! always
I’d have been swearing an awful lot more in this situation… it’ll be better next time
Haha. I thought I was over swearing too much 🤣😂
will you even try to untangle your spagettis by yourself ?
Yes did it that evening on the sofa!! 🤟👍
"Keep this on the DL"...then posts it to TH-cam.
haha what the spot?? You will be welcomed ✌️
I know a person who's gear I will not buy second hand... 😅
Dude, I couldn't get off the loo. Tbh you should maybe not kite there.
haha... yea it was a rough session!!! I will do it again for sure
Thats not gnarly tom thats just reckless, climbing down those rocks with the kite falling out the sky... and obviously the wind will be bad you're in the wind shadow of the cliff, how was it worth the risk? Learn from the mistakes of the last kitemare there, don't let your skills go to waste
It’s always worth the risk mate, as long as you know what your doing 😂😂🤟 I enjoy pushing the limits… 🙏
@@tomcourtkite sorry, but Max is right, if things go wrong on those rocks you don't get a second chance, also no helmet in a rocky spot is madness mate, don't think it won't happen to you, I've been there it happens fast and a kite in gusty conditions is an accident waiting to happen. Stay safe for the sake of your loved ones!
Where is the pleasure? Bye
It’s all mine 👍🤟
Define not worth it in one clip....
😂😂🤟
Che spot di merda🤮
😂😂
