Dayz in SA

I have been in Cape town for a few days now and so far it has been pretty good, I am finally settling back into being here although I’ll be back off again in a couple of weeks.

So far I have kited Big Bay quite a bit and also tripped up to Langabaan and the Cable. Big Bay has shown its usual form of MegaLoop winds, it has been getting to the point where its hard to hold an edge!!! Today I messed up a MegaLoop to un-hook handle pass and ended up about 8m over my Kite as it skimmed the water, it has brought back hope of the en-do KL (where the kite goes WAY WAY below you) which still hasn’t been made as far as I know, but it also ended in a front flip 8m free fall over my lines which sort of puts me back off it at the same time.

Anyways here is a short movie from the other day, you can also see the higher res and download it here.

    Bindings are cool, it’s a different style, thing I like most is landings.

  12. Sjoerd Boersma Says:

    Very cool movie.
    What’s the title of the song?
    And could you recommend riding bindings, when you slip out of your straps?

  13. aaronhadlow Says:

    Thanks, the song is Fuel Injected by Swollen Members.
    Binding are more for style and landings in my eyes, I would say try and find the straps and pads that suit you if slipping out is the only reason for change.
    Cheers.

    Hey Aaron, are you editing this little movies? Looking good!

  16. PK Says:

    Aaron, about bindings talk, I feel my feet slipping out of pads. Now I’m using heel straps, have you used heel straps and what dou u think about’em?

  17. esther Says:

    Yo Aaron!! Sick movie, nice spot!
    Stay in CT for a while, bloody freezing over here in Europe…

  18. aaronhadlow Says:

    Cheers Justin, there’s more to come.

  19. aaronhadlow Says:

    Yeah I’ve been editing the movies.
    As for heel straps, no I haven’t ever used them, I stay in my straps fine. I think if they are the right tension then they could work but if your foot really wants to come out then i reckon the heel strap will stretch and you will come out anyways.
    Maybe try a few different types and combos of pads and straps and see if anything works better for you.
    Cheers, Aaron.

  27. Craig Smith Says:

    dude how come in this video and in some of the pics i have seen from mexico u havnt got the Red Bull logo’s on your kites???

  28. Jeff Dell Says:

    Langebaan looks awesome there. Looks pretty flat. Can only see the first 15 seconds of the movie.

    Good luck with the rest of the tour!

  29. aaronhadlow Says:

    Had no logo’s since MEX cause the factory was closed in china, have my new set for the next event though.

  30. nuno Says:

    WHERE ARE THE MEGALOOPS VIDEO?!?!?!?! :))

  31. Craig Smith Says:

    o right sweet cheers for clearing that up dude..u must change your kites like i do my socks haha good luck in France dude!

  32. Jason Stone Says:

    Yeah dude, sweet power moves!
    But the song is not representing, you just copied from the Wakeboard video Free4all, the video part of Parks Bonifay, and the slow motion you have is the same one, be more creative for next time.

  33. aaronhadlow Says:

    Cheers Jason,
    Yeah I know, I like the song though, just threw this vid together quick.
    Maybe you’ll like the next one better once it’s out.

  34. PK Says:

    Com´on Jason, the dude is a pro kiteboarder not a pro video maker. He´s suposed to be creative on a kiteboard not behind a keyboard…
    You sound a little jealous…

    Just keep on posting videos Aaron, so this way we can keep on trying to copie your moves

  35. Fabio Says:

    That´s an awesome video Aaron! That spot looks perfect.
