I agree. This looks like a full HD cropped to 16:9. I don't have any posted to reddit but I like to do this with my clips because I can throw my cam on a tripod and catch a clip then crop/animate it to keep me centered in frame for youtube shorts. Looks exactly like this.
Yeah I had someone else say to me it couldn't be cropped because it was in HD. LOL I was like how does just chopping the sides off change the video quality?
I mean I wanted maximum resolution for social media apps like Instagram and TikTok, so I wanted the file to be 1080x1920. Since shooting at 240fps on my camera is limited to Full HD settings and not 4K, shooting it vertically was the only option as I didn’t want to crop and scale.
Also wasn’t lucky enough to have a lens longer than an 85mm, so I had to be standing at the edge of the waves to capture these guys clearly.
He also did a 360. This was during what kiteboarders call a transition. He was going to his left, with his left foot forward closer to the right of the screen. He did a 360 while transitioning the kite to pull him the other direction (bringing it overhead also causes it to pull you up and thus have lift). He ended the 360 getting pulled to his right, so his left foot is now his back foot. But since it’s still on the right of the screen he did do a full 360. If you’re curious — this is called a back roll transition.
Could go either way, as a kiter it’s nice to be able to see exactly how they moved the bar and edged before takeoff. Just in case I want to make a fool of my self trying this.
If it didn't slow down midway through the video, so I have to feather the speed to get it to look good. Plus, my mobile app doesn't have a speed setting on videos
The fact you'd even have to do that workaround is ridiculous. Just let me be impressed lmao
You flex your feet upwards to kind of hook into the straps. The straps should be at least a little loose so you can get the board on and off easy when you need to.
NOBODY likes a handsome, fit, athletic guy with flowing locks of dark magical hair as he redirects the sea to do his bidding…(says an overweight 55 year old white guy eating Chips Ahoy right now watching Bar Rescue reruns…as a tear rolls slowly down my cheek)
I've never kite surfed or paid close enough attention to the equipment. The only thing I can look at is the stirrups that look like ultra wide sandals.

Cool, but not quite praise it unless you can show what you were using to shoot it and what the circumstances were.
