Excellent vid.
I know it says "don't try this at home - these guys are piolots etc...."
but ..... i'd be tempted, perhaps if they'd shown a few crashes i might not.
looks like the coorong beach in SA. Where is it?
this is the best bit of footage i have seen on here -
if you know who these guys are please get them to PM me -
Holly ****! I've seen a little of that kinda stuff before but that's taking it to another level. You gotta love the possibilities of kites! well done lads.

Holy crap That is sensational.
I wouldn't be worried so much about the gusts I be more worried about the wind dropping out when at that height.
Any new kite that claims to have improved hangtime etc etc give it to these boys to test.
Now only if Erik Ek (spelling?) had a lesson from these lads before he went on his journey..........
More of the same, but as a ex hang gliding pilot, I find it interesting that a standard para glider makes a reasonable kite surfing kite.
