Outwardly, this video doesn't seem to be quite possible. No wind ripples and yet of he goes.



"Onboard video of some riding with the Flyboards Flydoor and Flysurfer Speed3 Deluxe kite. Enjoy the epic scenery and feeling from this video. Light wind kiteboarding can be awesome, especially when it is riding on glass, see from 01:00 minute onwards! "

Elliot Leboe's been hard at it, let's see what he has come up with.







ouch!

Going a bit nuts in the old country. Wonder how many trees or cliff faces this guy has snagged with his canopy? Impressive stuff all the same.


A squirrel suit flight in the same area. Some intense imagery.

A week ago some nice swells came along the east coast of Florida, in some areas EPIC swells. I was in Boston, next time! Greg and some friends rescued a boat that floundered in the inlet on another big day a few years back. More about that at: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=43902

11 - The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil is considered a wildlife sanctuary, but today, even in this isolated archipelago dolphins are victims of the bad habits of consumption. (Photo and caption by João Vianna) #

Note: the dolphins may be victims but they also like to carry trash around. Before trash it was likely seaweed but now they have plastic. The get bored easily after all.

Greg Long, Dungeons South Africa XXL Photo - Nic Bothma

See! They must of had gopro's... and line mounts back then too!

Not sure what they used to shoot that or how large it was. The Elura was out then along with some other smaller video cameras. Even had some lipstick cameras, I think.
