‘‘THE WAVE IS TENSED; ITS LIP
PITCHES HARD ONTO THE REEF AND CREATES
A VERY CLEAN TUBE: MITU TAKES ADVANTAGE OF IT. ‘’
The wave is tensed; its lip pit-
ches hard onto the reef and
creates a very clean tube:
Mitu takes advantage of it.
We have to be careful not to
much slack in the lines; the
kite is often just at the limit to
backstall.
I decide to unhook to control
better, but as soon as I gain a
bit of speed on the wave I have
no other option than to grab
the chicken loop to release
some tension.
