Great I will take a look, thanks.

I can't watch the video right now but I will do it tonight and I let you know.
By the way I really like what he does, he has a cool website (http://jeremieeloykiteboarding.com/) with many new articles in EN/FR, I spoke with him once and it seems very cool. I love watching kiteboarders waves-riding (unfortunately I don't have yet the level to do the same, but I hope it will change one day ^^), and he does a lot of very great waves videos IMO.

Otherwise, I don't know if you already put this video of Mitu Monteiro (Fone) on this topic but I really like it:


Manera in Cabo Verde

The video is a trailer for a french documentary "Ushuaia Nature"; it is not about kitesurf but about the nature, so there is just few minutes of kitesurfing (you can see the full docu here http://medirama.net/index.php?get=vo...rre-sest-noyee)

The other guy with Jeremie is Nicolas Hulot, a french journalist very famous (not the new JJ Cousteau, but very famous in France ;) )

Regarding the leash, I think only the journalist has it? And it seems that they didn't have a lot of wind.

Thank you for the details and link Anto! That's an interesting documentary project, exceptional videography too.

Red Bull puts together a nice big wave video on Robby. Great footage of him tearing it up windsurfing, kiting, standup and tow-in surfing in some of the nice waves off Maui's northern shore. Contains some of the most aggressive big wave standup footage I've seen.

June wind in Florida? True story, caught some around midday yesterday. Some guys were out making the most of it. Didn't have a camera but was carrying the EVO cellphone.

This was around 2 pm, surprisingly the guys were mainly locked in, not having to sine their kites.

Nice, serene afternoon, good kiting, even the diving wasn't that bad. As long as you were far enough offshore.

Hey,

Acapulco or Chilpancingo 1972.

Not sure, maybe John Z (1962 Oahu) has them beat.

These reed raft fishermen off Peru may have gotten into it a couple thousand years before John though. They do standup at times to surf in.

Lots more about standup and its origins back in the day and more recently at:

This is now my background on my evo, thanks Rick!

Am I the only one missing waves and wind :) ?..

Excellent video, thanks for putting it up! Love the Mr. Bill surf and whitewater simulations. Great stuff.

On a positive kiting note, it has been surprisingly breezing (not quite windy) in the SE mainland so far this summer. Been nuking at times in the Keys as well. Be of good heart, it will blow again ... sometime!
