Too funny. Bruno, haven't heard about him in years, should have recognized the kiter. Don't see a lot of overpowered foil footage. Maybe he could have used a winch down cable like they use for helicopters on carriers to connect with his bindings? That must have been an advanced F One, had a brake line. None of mine came that way, had to make after market jury rigs. Got dragged on my face a few times by the old ATK and STW's. I would love it when the ATK would stall, wad up like a bunch of dirty clothes, fall down like rock into the powerzone, then tension the lines, reinflate and drag you on your face at light speed, consistently. Hit a directional skeg, ouch! Glad you weren't more seriously hurt.

I recall Kevin Collin's Kite TV, got a VHS of it at home. May have to dust it off. Thanks for posting.
