Only posting because I know that quite of few us enjoy this sport as well as kitesurfing. Enjoy!

The skill level of that looping is suicidal :) Double suicidal with two pilots!

Unlivable. Thanks for sharing!

See, the problem with Kiteboarding and in Australia is the safety police would be whinging about kiting in public places.

In Australia they call it "dangerous" in Europe they'd call it "fun".

In Australia some cashed up bogan would try it after 14 beers and kill someone in the process.

Everything in Aus is generally spoilt as a result of the few who have the self control of a boy with his first playboy magazine.

Kiting? Yeah, some ****wit will kite in-between the swimmers because he thinks it will give him street cred with the girls on the beach.
Driving? Yea, some ****wit will do doughtnuts in a busy area and kill himself or his passenger because he's doing it after having 10 tinnies.
The list goes on.

We have created a culture where individuals don't take responsibility for their actions and the government creates laws to stop it instead of addressing the real issue. Apparently it's not the parents fault when their 12 year old is out doing grafiti and the "little boy" won't be punished so it creates this culture where useless laws are created for the masses.

Case in point...schools...private school funding...we have foreigners coming to Aus who were in schools that were 100 times worse than our public school system and they not only survived, but excelled to become skilled immigrants in our country. In our country, when the kid doesn't go to school because his parents are high on meth and don't give a ****, it's the private school systems fault because public schools don't have the same funding. If they were in private school, they would do the same because their parents would still be doing meth and they would still be bunking. Does it make a difference? Maybe about 5%, but yeah, lets blame it on someone else instead of addressing real problems.

Someone kills themself off a bridge? Yeah, let's blame the government for not making high enough railings the bridge instead of addressing real issues.

The list goes on to every aspect of it. Quick fixes to a problem that are not the right fixes.

Not really up to JB Chandelier's standard, but this is me soaring the mountains in India. The wind was light from the east and cloud was pouring out of the bowl to the west. The resulting cloud face was pretty magic.

Id love to have a crack at Paragliding - looks awesome but I dont lik the thought of getting tangled in 4 lines of my kite - and am now horrified at the thought of the para glider bridles wrapped around your face whilst plumeting towards the ground is a bit off putting!!

I like the idea of speed flying. Ripping fast close to terrain. I don't like the idea of turning into pink mist though.

PS the kitesurfing in this vid is at my local.
