i have not seen any wave kiting (or tow in surfing) that even comes close. I never thought I would say this but I might need to learn to windsurf

Thanks Peter! No better way to spend a "no wind" day than to watch that. True waterman.

Amazing footage... he comments that he's had around 10 sessions like that in 20yrs so that session was definitely special.

The video was removed, but has now been reloaded. Looks good fullscreen.
