Kiting the Wave Pool in UAE - Keahi de Aboitiz

Postby Keahi » Sat Jul 14, 2012 1:47 pm

Hey guys,

Here is a quick clip from the kiting session I had at Wadi Adventure in Al Ain. I went there to surf it and surprisingly it was fairly windy. I thought i'd give it a crack and surprising it worked a lot better then I expected.

Unfortunately this was all the footage I got as we were shooting stills mostly. Check out the next issue of the following mags for the full story

Now they just need to make that pool about a half mile wide and it would be perfect.

Yet another example of kite company "marketing for dummies".

What on earth is the Cabrinha logo doing on a video of a guy kiting right up against cement walls with no helmet in explosive artificial waves. At one point the rider even wipes out in shallow water with a cement base underneath.

Also I wonder how much oil is burn't up every time that thing spits out a wave.
