Hawaii Stylee-2

Legend Larry Bertlemann one of Hawaii's premiere style masters from the seventies. Watch the rail to rail with the power carves on the single fin. Sometimes, it is good to go through archives, watching and learning from the masters. Kitesurfing is not so removed from 70's style surfing. I love watching the power turning and slashing. To have style is to have originality. There is nothing wrong with grabbing some concept from a previous generation, but making it your own is the difficult part. Find something, master it, change it with your own signature. Don't copy it, and assume you are going to get respect. Aloha and good luck.
