An amazing clip! Wonder what kind of wind it would take to throw a windsurfing rig 50 or 60 ft. horizontally through the air? Kiters need to worry about hitting windsurfers downwind on jumps. Looks like windsurfers need to do the same in conditions like this! It looks like it might be hard to survive in one piece an impact from a rig that heavy flying in with such force.

I saw unmanned flying windsurf rigs like this on Lake Arenal, Costa Rica when we were overpowered on 3.2m and 2.8m sails... probably 45 - 50 knots

Thanks for posting the clip, yes a ton of kiters. It is interesting that the winners rode foil boards.

Looks like snowkiting was born by a little accident

Some photos from a short session last night after work. With sunset at 5:30 pm, there really isn't any other kind in daylight anyway.
The wind continues ... .
