Kite Skates

Hey guys! I was testing my Xmas treat and here's the result. It was an amazing session at Orewa Beach, NZ. Please be generous as it's my first attempt for a kiting video

Cool vid Dan. Whilst John Holgate sends the sea gulls scattering, you were sending the rubber neckers scattering. I'm sure you had it all under control.

I see your doomies have the wheel axis raised above your boot line, compare Spartan's which is level.

Nice video Dan .... looks like a SUPER smooth and hard packed beach !

Good mix of different angles mate ... kept it interesting

Pretty darn good I reckon Enjoyed it. I keep a small pump spray bottle full of window cleaner and microfiber cloth in a plastic bag in a pocket and stop to clean the lens often. I never dry wipe lenses or glasses - give 'em a squirt first, then wipe with finger (you'll soon feel any grit) and wipe dry with the microfiber cloth (either optometrists or the supermarket will have them). Microfiber tends to lift grime rather than smear or push it across the lens. My glasses and lenses last years without getting scratched this way. Or just give the gopro an occasional blast from your water bottle!

None to Shabby for a first video in fact it was bloody good.

That was a great video. Would never guess that it was a first attempt

Great Vid Dan, its great to see another Kiteskater strutting their stuff on camera, and it's cool how you've captured different angles, very attention grabbing.

Keep them coming...

Dan has custom monster doom wheels. When we looked at the design to build doomers with monster wheels on we decided to keep the ground clearance the same as the original small wheel doom set. Thus low rider monster doom wheels!..

PS epic vid Dan. keep em coming!.

kewl vid dan have not been to Orewa for a long time but looking great all the same last time i was there i was fishing not buggying or kiting for that matter well kite fishing only

thanks for the suggestion... i was wondering about the best way how to keep it unscratched as long as possible... will get some spray soon! cheers!

cheers guy for the positive comments. will do some more vids in future. yeah this beach is nice and packed, however in winter it tends to be quite wet with puddles... but it cannot stop us, huh?

Hey Dan!

Amazing video!

I like the way you have captured all the differnt angles. must have been tricky to hold the camera and also kite at the same time. none the less, superb performance!

Now i wanna Kite all over again!

Any more Vids Dan?

Hey Dan, how long does it take you to upload a vid on to Youtube?
