I've binge watched you guys for the last few days, it's incredible to see how much you've progressed since the Caribbean. Very sure-footed now. The team-work during the fishing scene was tremendous.

Man I love you guys. I'm a kiter, a surfer, a sailor and explorer at heart. You keep my dream alive slaving at work trying to save enough to be following you tracks one day. Your videos inspire us all to dream and follow your dreams. Thank you for sharing you life and travels with us.

The best drone and Kitesurfing video I've ever seen I know you worked hard to get that footage. Primo job

I just love your fishing sections. Great episode. Thanks for sharing.

Dude . Your wife is BADASS .... Christ .. the way she handled that wahoo was epic ! ...

I love your fishing footage. The idea that sometimes you can supplement your food stores makes the possibility of cruising seem more doable! Safe travels ❤️

kitesurfing and sailing channel all in one !!!! get in !!!!

Really nice to see you can learn something from the comments. Shows great respect for the fish also.

Probably one of your best videos. I think that I've mentioned before that your choice of music for different scenes is very good. Cheers

Some of the best advice I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing and inspiring other by living your dreams!!!

Great episode and fantastic job, showcasing some of the awesome aspects of living and being around the water, kite surfing, sailing, exploring and fresh fish.

Love the video! ! And the bathing suit. Too cute! Biggest fish ever!!!

Great job guys, lots of drone shots that were amazing. Thanks for sharing, smooth sailing 👍🎣🏄⛵

Love your vlogs! Cannot get enough. Discovered you recently but have gone back to watch from beginning. So entertaining. Inspiring. Fun to watch. Thank you for sharing!!

Freakin great episode!! As usual, you guys are just killing it... keep it up.

Awesome video! You guys are killin it, and not just the fish. I especially liked the drone + kite board work. The voice over bit... so true, inspiring to me. Thank you for the mind treat, the eye candy...

You guys have some of the best cinematography of all the sailing vlogs and getting better! Awesome!

You two just keep getting better. Nice action and info.

Best video yet! Killing it. Nailed it! You guys rock!

Just finished watching video and once again I am smiling. I have followed you from the very beginning and my reaction is always the same. Thanks

I just came across y'alls channel a few days ago and I am watching every single video to catch up!! YEEEEWWWW!!!! I'm also excited to see the tiny boat y'all are getting ready to sail!! 👌

Wow! This Wahoo Fish that you caught is simply amazing, great job!

Enjoyed the music and the reality of being under sail with all the stuff you have to do.

Beautiful footage. You are getting better all the time.

Great Video and glad that you're enjoying the Ocean Rodeo Kites! The footage was unreal

Your view point on fear is truly an eye opener! I think as a spiecies, humans have a great amount of emotions which often times is good. . .We also have the capacity of thinking of and planning for our next move . I believe that in general it is a survival strategy nature has given us to keep out of harms way. For some of us, this overpowers our curiosity and will to go beyond our percieved limits. Thankfully , some of us can overide this fear and go forward. Crossing oceans, going to the moon, exploring uncharted territories, all helping us evolve into better, bolder creatures. Goes to say, there is no benifit in worrying too much about what could happen in the future or evr what we do not control becaus it keeps us form enjoying the present. Fair winds you two! ❤️🇨🇦

“Competence has replaced unreasonable fear” like the quote Ben! We are slowly executing our own plan and sometimes those “ unreasonable fears” start to derail us. Great video as always! And thanks for inspiring us to keep our heads up!

That was epic and well done on eating all the Wahoo. Hand lining is difficult, a moment’s hesitation while you aim the gaff shot and the pressure is off the hook, bingo, fish escapes. Great editing on this episode, the kite boarding was spectacular.

We are really looking forward to your next video. You guys are hysterical and I've enjoyed your channel a great deal. I can't wait to see you two in New Zealand.

I love the surfing documentary film called "Endless Summer". You are doing chapters of Kitesurfing's Endless Summer! You are living a dream of mine! I was working at Boeing in the mid eighties, and Dr. Doug McClean gave us a Noon Time Technical lecture he called "Off the Wall Hydrodynamics". He showed us a picture of a catamaran hull being pulled by a large stack of Flexi-Foil ram-inflated kites at the Johnny Walker Speed Sailing trials at Weymouth England. I saw his picture of a stack of twenty kites pulling a full sized catamaran hull 20 feet above the water, and decided waterskiing behind a stack of 3 Flexifoils was probably possible! So Billy and Cory Roeseler and I started trying it. I was a windsurfer and fairly skeptical that it would ever become a practical sport, but we kept trying it anyway. But Billy had a wave runner so we had a rescue boat. In 1986 Billy, Cory, and I ended up going to Weymouth. And Cory ended up winning the 10 meter speed sailing class with 3 Flexifoils and Jobe jump waterskiis. We met a Swiss sailor there, named Theo Schmidt, who was doing the same thing at Weymouth, ten years earlier! It's really hard to invent a new sport without finding out somebody did something similar before you! Ben Franklin was supposedly dragged across a lake by a big kite too! Anyway a bunch of Hawaiian Windsurfers saw Cory Roeseler win the Hood River Gorge Blowout 20-mile downwind race that next year. And someone over there invented an inflated kite and started riding a small surfboard with it, and kite surfing was finally practical! Some people have died kitesurfing, and hundreds of thousands have had a blast! Sir Richard Branson almost got Kitesurfing into the Olympics, and taught Obama how to water start! It's weird how we can all affect each other's lives, with a single ripple, you can affect an ocean.

The music was on point. Great vid guys. Absolutely love you guys. Cheers, Ted

Beautiful footage the adventure looks amazing

Ben, I really loved your monolog about evolving a fear of failure into something positive. I have a life full of adventures and took something huge risk of failure ( and failed some times ) but never thought about it this way...yes I am what I am because of all the experiences. I will soon go to my next big adventure and cross the Pacific on a small sailboat... see you out there :-)

Fantastic video guys, fluid! You work so well together.

Fantastic......thank you

I'd rather take a challenge than live in regret, proud of you both, great videos great experience, I done it before and I'm doing it again from June this year in a bespoke cat but my engines are industrial as I didn't opt for sails but I spoke to the builder today who will rectify this

WoW Ashley, Fantastic job reeling in that huge fish!! Big ups to your awesome Captain for all his efforts to help assure you success! It would have been almost impossible too reel in that big boy while hauling ass like you were. Yeah? You to truly are an winning team! P.s. Thanx for the true words of wisdom ya shared in this one. Be well. ; )

Keep on keeping on, Love your videos guys.

Great video guys!

Excellent work guys, nice filet job on the hoo. Best meat fish in the ocean and great job with landing it. Not an easy task, but worth the reward for sure.

Nice whoo! Great video as always.

Camera work on kiting is great...love you guys

You guys are awesome. The vids are getting better and better. The Value Of Fear.................Well spoken mate :)

Great job mixing this episode. Sail safe!

Wahoo! Great video thanks so much let us know when you are heading to Australia.. would love to meet you guys!

Love your kite boarding! You are one of the few sailing vlogs that do.

epic wahoo, fishing untouched waters on the sail, deadly. wicked.

Beautiful drone footage.

Great job on that fish!

Nice fishing ok the kite stuff was cool also

Awesome 👏 footage. My wife says she is impressed by your video....Really! She doesn't want to go to work now.😆 We had goose pimples watching this video...again. Thank you for this inspiring video. Stay safe...really? Ced and Kiki

Another epic video!! The music reminds me of the movie Scarface. lol Once again, living vicariously and preparing for our dream!

Thanks for the add

NICE DRONE DRIVING!!!!!!!

That's bigger than any Wahoo I've ever landed! Nice job!

Great video as allways. cant wait for next one. look forward the seeing New Zealand content. If you want to try fresh water kitting come to Taupo, would love to meet you both.

Excellent 👍

That looks like some really good meat! Keep making these vids! Thank you! :)

I so agree with the flesh around the bones but the filet of the larger fish are the cheeks! Yum. Love your vids, been going through them the past few days, I’m a new sub. Cheers from Vancouver 🇨🇦

I think you guys are doing a great job. Thanks for the entertainment. I do feel that you Ashley might want to teach him how to actually land a fish.. lol..

Wow, awesome!!! 😍😍⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great Video, and good job on the Wahoo. Might I suggest a LARGE fish cleaning table on the rail somewhere, the way you guys keep catching fish it would be handy. it Sucks having to clean fish on the floor!

Good Job on the video mate... this is my dream is to sail to an atoll and kite-board the lagoon there.... Thanks for sharing....

very cool....

Awesome vid guys! Nice catch!🎏 I have to learn how to kiteboard!

wahooooooo nice video guys

That is one huge wahoo!

Heading into NZ, wow you make it sound almost banal. .. Have a great sailing!

very nice

mmmmmmm,..... making me hungry, keep up the good work, until next time, safe journey.

I’m on a mission to watch all your videos

as always nice work and if you do a road trip in NZ and make to wellington we'd like to catch up and meet you. :) Nolan and Jhen

🤙🏻 looks like so much fun and epic adventures! You two are rad ass people just don’t have kid’s they’ll ruin your life

Hi! It continually drives me crazy to see so many Sailing Vlogs in which folks land fish with such terrible techniques such as not even knowing if a bait casting or spin cast reel should be used above or below the rod!, not keeping their rod tips up so as to use the natural "spring effect" of the rod, not slowing the boat down when landing an especially nice or big fish, never allowing there to be any slack in the line or finally after getting that beauty next to the boat actually landing the fish with their bare hands holding the line etc. and etc. All of these basics actually can all be learned even by at the LEAST watching one or a few very short KZfaq video tutorials on How to Land a Fish and also learn to use basic tools like landing nets or gaffs to finalize securing that catch and putting it it in the boat. It was so refreshing to see a "Sailboat Fisherman" landing what would be the Fish Of A Lifetime for most anglers and getting it In your boat by doing things RIGHT. I just felt compelled to (instead of doing my norm of yelling at the TV Screen - "You Idiot") do what's rare for me by actually sending you a comment from this experienced old fisherman just in order to tell you - GREAT JOB!!! As delicious and important as it is at times to provide your boat with such a tasty, fresh and healthy, Omega-3 and vitamin rich, protein food source especially on those long sails accompanied with waning food stocks all Cruising Sailors should make these basic and easy to learn skills needed to get that beautiful bounty that you just managed to get on the hook actually In Your Boat! So many Sailing Vlogs have me wincing in pain and shaking my head in sad disgust as crew members demonstrate that they simply have NO CLUE or have made next little to no effort to learn "How to Land a Fish"! This time I just felt compelled to actually write a comment after watching you, a Live Aboard World Cruiser catch a beauty and then get it in the boat! A framed photo of you and your Beautiful Wahoo belongs on the wall of your boat!!! If the day comes that one of you two ever have a fishing question you'd like help with especially as to technique questions such as bait, line or leader rigging, best all around artificial baits or artificials used combined with live bait, or even tips on mounting your rod holders etc etc that are involved with Trolling in Salt Water I'd be pleased to offer my advice and share my experience by replying to any question you might have one day. Just email me at melvincurtice@msn.com. Finally I say that I sure enjoy y'alls videos! Thanks Melvin (Curtice) OH!!! and as a P.S. - I think I got so motivated so as to comment in such depth to you because of pure JEALOUSY! I've caught many Wahoo in my days but your big trophy beat any one I've ever caught! Ha Ha 😁

New subscriber - binge watching your sailing around the world series - passing through adventure 33 - I have a question - what is the purpose for giving the catch of the day a drink? LOL

Very nice video it’s all very nonchalant with you guys, your choice of music is great! Where do you pic the music from?

Love your videos, guys! Love your travels and spirit! Could you, by any chance, tell a bit in your next video what video equipment you are using? Do you run post-production color enhancement in a any software? What software do you use for putting your vlogs together? Very curious about these details.

nice fish.......:)

Nice job guys!Where to next? Are you thinking of going to the Med?

Just found your channel. Love it. I can't find anywhere that you have introduced yourselves. I would love to know your backgrounds prior to setting off sailing. Thanks

Great video. The kites looked like great fun. How fast do you suppose? Nice fish too.

Tropic bird!

I think you have to be careful that what has actually replaced fear isn't complacency!

Your music and soundtracks are also wonderful. Could you tell where you grab soundtracks?

Has Ocean Rodeo approached you to sponsor some of your gear in exchange for use of your video? They should! Your video SELLS it!

Damn that speech was deep..........like a bottle of dark rum : )

Great drone footage of Ashley kite surfing! Very professional. I just wish I could hear your overdub a bit better, the sound level is a bit low.

Awesome views! That drone is totally worth it! Question for you, I always wonder about antibiotics. How do you guys know what to take and when? Where do you get them. Any advice is appreciated.

As always Smokin hot video guys. Which way r u heading around Aussie-clockwise or ante?

Hey guys. Thanks for another awesome vlog. If you're really going all the way round, you may be coming to South Africa. I am based on the East Coast of South Africa, in a coastal city if Durban. I would LOVE to host you here.

Great adventure! How many days since you first set sail?

👍

Nice work! Some (hopefully) constructive feedback... I noticed the sound levels tended to vary quite a lot, with music sounding higher than spoken voice which made it a bit tricky to hear what you were saying. I found myself having to turn it up and down quite a bit between sections. Great fish though! Glad they'll let you keep it when you come here (NZ). Don't miss Rangitoto, Tiritiri Matangi, and the Poor Knights while you're here.

FYI ...wahoo are the worlds fastest swimming fish ! Is it a secret as to the type of lure you are using ? I'd like to know , please share !😃

Mole skin is the best for wounds when you can't stop kiting...

Sometimes , we throw the bones and skin in a pot , make soup or stew, just a thought. :D

How scary does it get to sail during a storm? Like huge waves :// Do you worry when you are approaching reefs that are known for boat crashes?

My favorite chanel?i wish i can joint around word...

What can fish no eat because some video for some people tell in the video the baracua has poison is true ?

Fear will get you killed unless it's replaced with competence. Paraglider pilot..
