I like the music they picked as the backing track. Goes well with the content.

| I couldn't stop giggling with all those face plants and belly flops!!! Must be nice to practice those moves in board shorts rather than 5/4s!!! |

Haha, awesome video. Totally looks like a surfer who just learned to kite. Got balls and some skills for wave riding, but can't kite well enough to keep up with it yet.

| Pretty sure Reo can hold his own in all wave conditions strapped or not. If you aren't falling like in the vid you aren't trying hard enough. I love pulling into sections knowing my kite is going down, just for the ride bro! |

| Reo is also an excellent switch surfer...something any goofy footer in the PNW can appreciate! |

Hey Monkey you must still be stuck watching Ben Wilson and his "unhooked skills" but the thing is most kites come with chicken loops so you can hook in and fly the kite properly, correct me if I'm wrong?
On a good note at least you know surfboards come without straps....

No kidding eh! Even the pro blooper reels make me feel inadequate. |

Haha, OK. I watched this at work and didn't catch the blooper part. Looks solid in the real video fo sho. And, FYI, if you've ridden with me you know I fall plenty. That's actually my main move.
