Here's how to really throw down in light wind.
Never seen a tantrum on that big of a board before!

Not to be overlooked, is the fact that the kite is a single strut Airush "ONE" kite.

It may not be looping or wake legit riding, but it's a pretty damn cool feeling being able to haul ass in lightwind conditions and have some freestyle fun.

Gonna be adding this exact set up to my lightwind kit this summer.

I agree. I love the no B.S. shut up and ride factor too. Light wind??? Awful lot of white caps.

Just so you know there was no Tantrum in there....and if you think Tybo shreds on that board wait until you see him ride strapless

That's what I thought too Chooch. But I was too ADD to to really pay attention.

though seeing a Tantrum on that board would have been very impressive (I think)

What I called a "tantrum" was at 2:50

I guess he's hooked in though, so it's technically just a toeside backroll.

Still... it's badass on a board that big.
