Hey all. Let me start by saying I am not a particularly coordinated board rider. It has taken me over 10 years of kiting to find a setup that challenges me all conditions and that I really enjoy. For me it is a full quiver of c-kites using a 5th line, along with a wakeboard and skimboard which I ride 80% of the time.
I have so much fun on the skim and I am learning a lot which completely translates to the wakestyle riding. What I have dialled now is my surface passes – I can pass either way riding any direction, so do the pass and ride away wrapped or blind, with grabs and reversing the trick at the end. Where I ultimately want to get to is popped tricks, unhooked airs tricks and grabs, and of course waveriding.
I guess what I am asking for is inspiration. What direction should I push my progression? What are the next steps that are within my reach?
