This should be moved to industry.

This is a inside joke to my local community of kiters. If you hold up a camera around these guys they are like a pack of Piraņa. Move it where ever you like, but actually I have no business ties with Hyperflex. Just stating a fact that every kiter in my area is sporting Hyperflex these days, including myself. Good product, great price. I just thought id share since thats what forums are indeed for!
Try not to be so intense! Everything is going to be ok..

Yea thats just it. Those GoPro cameras have a tendency to make things look extremely small and far off. I don't need to get into a "my dad can beat up your dad" conversation, but I was out that day and you go out just a bit further and you would eat your words pretty quick. I don't understand the stigma of it being uncool, or not hip to wear straps... I mean isn't this all personal preference? Isn't straps sometimes needed or preferred by even big time strapless riders such as Ben Wilson or Ian Alldredge?? Your quick to pull out your guns and shoot down anyone who does not think or act like you. Kinda sad and probably reflects on your age.
Anyways, back on topic. Like the video or hate it. Move it or leave it. I really don't care. I assume those who watched it and didn't think it was so bad moved on to other more important things without leaving a comment.

Dude, the only piranas around are those guys and the evil bast**ds on this forum. Keep rockn' all the eye candy your GoPro can fetch, man. Luv it!

Waaow. I just popped this kids little bubble. Seriously, anyone who deals in extremes or absolutes is just silly. Do you know how ridiculous you sound saying that a professional kitesurfer has NEVER used straps?????? Nobody always or never does anything. Just stop.
Once again, Alldredge has a personal preference to ride strapless so it is obvious he HAS used straps. This is contrary to your un-researched, hasty comment from above. You really sound closed minded and naive.
Im starting to understand why you have so many posts on this forum. You have diarrhea of the mouth. A little thought before you speak goes a long way.

I liked the toe side back roll off the wave, landing back on the same wave and riding it in. Wanna try that one. Must be Ca. due to the Caution board in the end and the pier in the background. I just ordered a new Caution board as I gave Grom pick of my gear and he took mine for his birthday present and his winter trip. Note to self - #@%## and good excuse to get a new board for the winter!! sweet.
We caught some good waves here in Pismo Beach this week on our way to SPI. Rained out further north. Tagged Sherman Island with a Slingshot sticker for ya.
Good vid but I was hoping to see a 3D Piranha jump out in the shallows. Go Pro's are hard to film with past 10 feet as everything looks small and distorted.
