Okay, I want to find some waves and grab some straps! Awesome Kev! Love Hatteras. I have been out there in that ocean with little baby waves and it is scary scary.
Sorry i missed you in Hatteras both times this year. Love Real and Watermans, they always put on the most epic events. Still havent mastered the waterstart but I love meeting pro kiters and really wanted to shake your hand.
Really enjoy your videos Kevin! Wanted to check out you pros riding the Northeaster’s big Atlantic waves but we were busy kiting the Sound side last week ... :D
You made riding with straps look amazing!! Glad they gave you credit for the riding ( third place). Watched you ride at Scarborough Beach in SA strapless, and you made it look effortless climbing over 10foot whitewash from the waves crashing,.. Maybe you would have won strapless?
an awesome ride in the storm condition waves, i wondering about strapless trend and how fun would be with strapped surf.its about how you can be happy in any conditions
I like the strapped atitude bro...always tell everyone on my coaching trips, that straps can add a lot of fun, specially for those that are not riding on daily basis. On that level that you showed is even more fun, reminded me of the Chile PKRA event that we made the final together, fins up all the way! :))
Mesmerizing!! That was flippin' incredible! I have been thinking about beginning my kiting journey/training at REAL- there or Cabarete. Those waves were crazy and you really worked them.
@@Pete_R63 I've heard good things about cabarete (specially when it's freezing balls in the US). If you do go to cape hatteras, check out KittyHawk kiteboarding or what used to be North kiteboarding. The instructors are awesome.
@@coolhari2000 Thanks so much for the info. I, too, have heard a lot of good stuff about several places in Cabarete. The combos I have seen of lessons and lodging seemed really worthwhile. What slays me is, I go to Jamaica every summer and on the north shore the wind is always honking perfect all day long steady side on shore and I never see any kiters. I feel like it is a hidden treasure.
Kevin.. major hats off!. Love watching u do your thing.. Kevin.. does the 2020 global ride very differently from the 2019 version ? I have the 2019..... Cheers !
Thanks to GKA it is probably fair to say that strapped is cooler these days. I would never have thought to say that one day. Thumbs up for not giving a shit
Awesome, that looks extreme. Do you guys have any telemetry on you to measure acceleration, g-forces, velocity, height, etc.? would love to see biometrics too, my heart rate has doubled just watching this clip!
Where I can see a live video I mean full video of your or some one else rides so I can see how you deal when you fall, I you going in to the water, pumping kite etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Kevin do way more tricks than the strapless rider's. If so, he should have won that comp.... And why be a Trendy strapless rider and limit what you can do....
with straps simply makes sense considering the strong wind.
simply amazing to watch you ride these waves. most athletic kitesurfing I have ever seen.
Dam your so good at kitesurfing keep it up. I love watching your vids
Major ditto... he is awesome.. and i love his attitude!
Super coole Aufnahmen. 🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️👍👍👍
I have no words to describe how much I love to see you surfing waves😍
Thank you Kevin. I really enjoy your channel.
Awesome strapped riding. Inspirational!
Nice washing machine . Good choice going with straps. your fluid combos were awesome !
You would almost make kitesurf with straps looking cool. Actually I wonder if this could not be the new (old) way to ride waves. You rock man.
I didn't realize you were there. I was riding just downwind of the contest in the afternoon (black xr5 9m + twintip). One of the more fun days!
extraace, I saw you riding. Do you live locally?
Chase Stoke No, I live in TN but we come there fairly often. Year before last was the best. I think 23 trips.

Despite all this strapless trend... still showing how fun it is to use straps in stormy conditions! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Just missed 2 megaloop with it! Hahah
A pleasure to watch. Keep on filming!
Hey Kev I bet Robby Naish would becStoked to see you riding straps in the wave 🌊 competition 🤟😊💯
it is all depending on the condition, white water washing mashine = straps, clean glass like waves = straplless :)
Really enjoy your videos Kevin! Wanted to check out you pros riding the Northeaster’s big Atlantic waves but we were busy kiting the Sound side last week ... :D
wow
just wow, you seem to be one with the ocean Kevin
REAL is actually in a smaller norther town of Hatteras called Rodanthe, but still a sick spot, I go every year!
Just amazing to watch you kiting there...🤙🏼
Wow super epic Video!!! Love it

AMAZING!!!!! Watch your vlog every time&!
see you back in CT Kev! The surf is on!
Sick riding. Great to see straps representing! If surfers could get into straps, they would use them in conditions like that too.

Top level and such a brave attitude on waves !!! I'll try straps next time on waves...
#YouRockKevin ... #eileik big time! 👍

Real is real expensive.
@@coolhari2000 Yeah, I noticed that, too. That is why I am considering going to Cabarete.

hey kevin i want to buy a kite what can u recommend (im am beginner) and nice video
I love the straps
Wow really good! Great riding. Must be nice not to care about a close out!
which kite in the waves was answered in the Naish communique thanks
Dang Kevin, I was in hatteras the exact same time ad you but I didnt get a chance to meet you. Someday hopefully I will.
Yesss een nieuwe vlog van de beste kite surfer ter wereld!!!
Oh new video!
Wow this is so cool! Even with straps :-P Supershots thanks!
wow epic conditions, great vid
It is kitesurfing......I agree with straps. Looks like you killed it. We share a similar style. What kite were you flying?
Wow, so-o-o cool video! You have a great style!
I ride straps too! Best of both worlds: boost big and ride great!
Sick video, pivot or slash for this?
Awesome riding dude!
Epic riding!
Beautiful skills!
Thanks to GKA it is probably fair to say that strapped is cooler these days. I would never have thought to say that one day.
Thumbs up for not giving a shit
Sick !
Good job!
Awesome, that looks extreme. Do you guys have any telemetry on you to measure acceleration, g-forces, velocity, height, etc.? would love to see biometrics too, my heart rate has doubled just watching this clip!
Great performance and it was great to meet you! Didn’t get that big loop on camera? It was huge!!!
Woauhhh 👍🤙
top in tutte le discipline wauu
Top video man. Blijven gaan!
Nice vid man :)
Nice Dude! 🤙
Epic
Number one!!
Dope vid!
episch! goede videomontage ook!
In those conditions i want straps also. But my name isn’t kevin😬. I am sure a lot of pros riding strapless got rejected on the way out that day.
Hi Kevin, great video, great riding. I notice you’re always riding frontside. Are you natural or goofy footer?
I don't understand why would you ride strappless, do straps not give you an obvious advantage?
Your the best 👌👍👌
Yeeeeess New Videoo
Kev, you should change your tripod to DJI's Osmo Mobile 3 !!!
make more vids pls i love it
Where I can see a live video I mean full video of your or some one else rides so I can see how you deal when you fall, I you going in to the water, pumping kite etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Kevin do way more tricks than the strapless rider's. If so, he should have won that comp.... And why be a Trendy strapless rider and limit what you can do....
U should do the fuerteventura World Cup as well as KOTA that would be epic🤙🤙 luv ur vids
as far as i know he won king of the air lol
Pawel Krzysiek nah i mean he should do it also. I know he won KOTA
WOOW
you are fucking incredible dude continue like this :)
Of course...why not straps
👍 👍 👍
smoooth operator
Score!
There is like 15 people there.
I don't get why with straps. Shouldn't all riders have the same setup? 'Cause with straps it's a lot easier. Brilliant content though :)
