It's amazing that this exists BUT trying to push the sport to new extremes while also putting restrictions on the tricks that they are allowed to do, doesn't seem quite right…

@johneighteens from Sardegna here, good job guys, we see what you're doing. Keep up with it 🚀☀️
Thank you so much for inviting me! I hope I could motivate or inspire you with the story it’s not just kitesurfing it’s way more than this ❤
I love the stories. Thanks for giving riders an opportunity, riders that got dealt a more challenging hand than many of us in the west. This is emotional and inspiring 🙌🏽🙏🤗 cant wait for EP 2 and 3
Sick
So Awesome! Thank you Mike 🔥🔥
Finally some storytelling in kitesurfing that goes beyond performance. Please continue to connect kitesurfing to values, personal stories and real contributions. Meaningful marketing instead of product reviews and performance competitions only … thanks mike and thanks @surfpirates to expand and innovate the way we look at riders, storytelling and formats that connect to the world of kitesurfing and are a real contribution, attraction 😊and motivation for the next generation of kiters
Great to watch. Very entertaining. Seems like the comments all agree. Look forward to next one!

Well done Mike, well done riders!!
Absolutely LOVE what you are doing for the sport!!! I can't wait to see more!
Beautiful stuff! Love the mixture of riding and stories ❤
🔥🔥🔥
nice comp!! is tatajuba?
Hey Mike, this is such refreshing in an environment that at times is getting toxic even for just amateurs watching from outside.
Market leads as always, sponsors make the difference…but you are showing that there could be an alternative way…keep rocking.
Woooouh💥🦾Thank you for all this pleasant experience we had with you…
😍🚀🏆🦾💥
How much wind was?
Awesome competition and superb filming! Keep it coming!
Restrictions on tricks doesn't make sense. For the dicipline to grow and push limits in variation, you can not limit tricks. Big Air is the most spectacular discipline in kiteboarding.
It's like telling wave riders you can only ride the small waves or telling a freestyler you can't land blind or wrapped and no grabs either.
I know some of these riders probably can't Kiteloop board off or board spin, so you're trying to even out the competition so everyone has a chance. But I'm sorry if you're shit , step up your game… There is a standard of big air in the present time. Regardless of your background.
Go play a game of kite and add to the restrictions there.. but this is the big league, or a step before the big league. Let them cook!! Don't be silly with move restrictions.
