Extreme Dutch Kiter

Post by **rstalfoort** » Friday 9 September 2011, 10:24

Hi everyone, allow me to introduce our Dutch Extreme Kiter - Dick van der Spek. He can do almost anything with his kite and waveboard. I think he definitely rocks like us snowboarders

Great ! Its board looks wide compared to usual kite surf boards.
And as for extremecarving, this guy looks as an experienced man, not a youngster

2 others dutch guys rocking on the sea : HEEMSKERK Mischa and TENTIJ Bastiaan 2nd at the world championship F18 on a french boat.

Hi Arnaud, how are you?

Dick is absolutely experienced and still a youngster, you can tell by looking in his eyes, just like you

Awesome! I love this picture.

Do you have any video or photo sequence for studying the move? I would like to learn... though the way is long till Dick's level!
I wonder what the exact move with the kite is.

Another nice picture had been shown in this Forum 4-5 years ago. The rider is Jacques Delpierre:

Now some surfers also achieve amazing turns close to EC: see this thread posted by Nils.

Next step is to achieve the same turns on the backside!

But noice on sea is even worse

I recognize you on this picture, Sylvain!

Next winter I want to see you extremecarving with no bindings!

When there is no wave and no wind, this (expensive and noisy) tool is an option. Carving seems great on flat water.
But I doubt it is allowed on my (Geneva) lake. Indeed the jetskis are forbidden in Switzerland.
