That is a great ad for winter sailing JdS. Loved the mix of WS and kite. Jl, that is just painful watching. What crap those sails were! Yet there were so many participating....? I think that is the year I started.

Thx to Juandesooka for this unique link <a href="/http://vimeo.com/51212135" target="_blank">Salt in Veins</a> about kiting on gritty/chafing 'salt dunes' in the middle of the ocean, with a 'space jump' type pier launch near the end at 5:19

I think this is the most impressive kite wave riding I've seen.

I wonder how much pressure the barreling wave puts on the lines overhead, and if that screws up the kite's steering?

And if you crashed the kite in the middle of a set, I'm pretty sure things would immediately go to bad (probably destroy kite) and then maybe to worse (good chance of injury to yourself or others).

I suspect this level of kitesurfing will be left to those with both freakish talent and an unlimited source of free gear.[/url]

More Freestyle. Gollito's story. 20 minutes. Makes me want to get a 120 fps camera (e.g. at 8:13).
