Hey guys,
Been awhile since I posted but you'd like to check this out. Back in May I spent some time in Tahiti and was lucky enough to score some an amazing swell while I was there. Although the wind wasn't perfect I was fortunate enough to sneak into a couple bombs amongst the guys towing. Definitely some of the biggest kiting barrels of my life and some visions I'll never forget! The first wave is the image featured on the cover of the latest Freedom kite mag. Enjoy!

That was inspiring to watch. Interesting to see the line drag under the lip in slow mo.
He gets pulled out the back of the wave with the kite ((you can see his head pop up briefly) - actually he got pulled off the board by the kite but better that than go over the falls!!

Real Kite-SURFING.
True. The difference is Keahis actually getting barrelled rather than just posing in front of a wave... big difference. Keep killing it!
I think going backside actually helps on such a sucky side-offshore wave. Its the timing and the great bottom turns in the pocket that set him up so well. Being able to use the heels as the wave sucks and pigdog a bit keeps the rail from flipping.. Foamball deep... Respect 
Hi keahi
I have surfed chopes but to see someone kite it with that precision and smoothness under pressure is beyond impressive... that is next level! Well done
Amazing my friend, very inspiring.I wish I could surf it, let alone kite it. But I'm more likely to try it on a kite anyway.
Request: can we see that on the Double Agent? I've started foiling into waves on a kite but I am not at your level. I can only imagine what you'll achieve.
Respect..

What happened to you and the kite on the last wave?
Like someone said, my kite pulled me through the lip and I got out the back relatively unscathed on this one. Select to expand quotedave...... said..

Although being backside is beneficial in some conditions, personally I think its a little harder to get deeper. When its got a lot of offshore, your bar is closer to the wave and you can't really edge as hard off your toes compared to your heals. Going pigdog does help with balance though and breaking through pinching sections on the way outSelect to expand quoteSir V said..

Won't be riding a foil in waves like that any time soon, but have had a lot of fun riding the foil without the kite towing into some small swells with a ski here in hawaii. Pretty amazing feeling riding a swell without the kite
Jeeeeezus man,
Do you ever worry that you might actually die of boredom at Mokule'ia after that?
Epic!
Care to reveal a few technical details Keahi?
board dimensions /kite size /wind conditions ....................!
You can omit testosterone level as it is fairly evident!
