Not the best place to leave a kite (midway through the clip)? Also, has anyone seen any footage of the windsurfer taking it on? There is a quick cut to a guy rigging up at 1:26ish of that clip...

Imagine how violent the results would be for your mast to be clipped by a lip throwing that hard

Bennosmith, thanks for that - the pics are awesome. Such a perfect wave. Nice to have sponsors - I reckon he burned a few rigs that day.

Is it just me or is Kiting Teahupoo a bit like getting to the top of Mt Everest by helicopter?

That just made kiting look very lame.
Twin tips @ teahupoo.....c'mon, seriously.
Loading up the backside rail, unable to bottom turn is not waveriding.
Boujmaa however, is a gun.

I think the problem with a kite is the speed required to make the wave. Looks like all the guys with directionals and no straps are struggling.

Just when we thought it wasn't possible for anyone riding big Teahupoo, on anything, to look lame...these baggers have managed it.

Oh look I'm about to go over the falls of the monster and be driven into the reef!!!...but no, nothing to worry about here as my trusty parachute whisks me out of harms way.

Kiters on this vid remind me of Monty Python (clip from 1:12 onwards :) )
