Roundhouse Cutback Anyone?

Looking for video of a legitimate roundhouse cutback while surfkiting. Or are there limiting aspects of kiteboard gear that make this impossible. Not trying to pit one sport against the other here...they are both great. Would just like to see it!

Are you serious? I have seen sick double round house 360 off the lip... course I ride with top secret riders , like ian aldrege, or patrick ribstock, or james ectra, In truth these guys are the result of thier fathers, the real people are thier familys, these guys rip from tradition of being watermen.Surfing is not a team sport.
I like the team attitude of kiting even if your on your own. surfing is very short ride normaly. so you really cant compare.
If kitting is an extension of surfing, surfing has now become obsolet, like a flloppy disc. surfing in california is crowded,, most surfers are greedy and neggative,

If you kite well and think, no one is a problem if you have power in your kite, you just go around them.

Huh? I'm only wondering here if a kiter can reverse his direction ( a cut back while surfing with kite) and continue going down the line. Nothing more really. I can't do it/haven't seen it/would like to see it.
