Just a little vid I put together to trick people into giving me huge sums of money.

Bonus interview about all that money here - www.knotfuture.com/post/celebrating-twenty-years-kiteboarding-with-a-rowdy-video-part-and-interview?fbclid=IwAR2n_pBz65UlrLroRQpKsKVfHezPO2uUSkym83zwl7FlTzIrNSKpJtqUgt0

That was refreshing. So much better than the same ol' regurgitations from European shores. You're on my ****-list though Rowdy for riding a wakeskate in the waves better than I can on a SB

Nice. Yourve got some strapless/wakeskate skills going on.

I was waiting for the boost to the moon section but it never came...... That's what I want to see next.

Also since your a wave man that likes swing both ways with a bit of TT action in the waves too I recon you should lay your hands on one of the new mutant TT's and smash out some laps on one of those.



PS It's weird to see someone wearing shoes kitesurfing.

Cheers man!

I've spent enough days doing boosts kiting, I don't think I will ever spend time or effort on filming that because it just doesn't interest me that much, but you never know...

I'm not really a fan of small boards like that, or that particular shape (or straps). I do have a 159 snow style shape (Wraith) that rides pretty nice as a quasi directional -


p.s.
Things seem weird until they don't seem weird, people Skateboarding in shorts used to seem weird to me to.

Great entertaining vid of the most sponsored / paid kiter in Oz. Who never boasts about it . Great skills and progression . Liked the strapless and barless waveriding at 1.17 wotz that called ? Big roostertails at 3.27 waveriding a wakeskate ? Sir Rowdy always delivers for others to aspire to. Such an enigma . Instead of moving on to new sports such as rally driving ,he has stayed true to his passion and kept kiting .

Hahaha. I appreciate the kind words! I'm not the most paid or sponsored though I don't think, Keahi, Ewan, Ben Wilson have all made way above me I'm sure, I actually make very little from sponsorship.
Yeah not sure what that sports called but I think it could get popular .
Glad you see why I'm doing it!

Size wise it's similar to a mako, but everything else is pretty different about it. It has parabolic rails (like a snaowboard), rounder tips, a flat base and a lot more flex than a Mako. It's basically like riding a powder snowboard on the water, I think people who like snowboarding would enjoy it, people who just want a "normal" feeling board not so much. Mako on the other hand is all about grip and slicing through the water with an aggressive single concave, narrower tips/ overall shape and stiffer construction.

Great vid. Great to see you focusing on your style as opposed to the usual insta kite rubbish that we normally see.

Very slick and innovating riding. it looks like you are having fun, and that to me is the whole goal. Keep it up and thanks for sharing

Cheers man, thanks for the words! Unfortunately insta rubbish or things that get a maximum amount of mainstream likes is all kitebrands really seem to care about these days... so get ready to see a lot more of it.

Thanks man! Yep, if I wasn't having fun I'd quit because I'm certainly not doing it for fame or fortune! haha.

It's outrageous how much water you move with your wakeskate. So much spray!
