For lack of a better name.
Just some un-edited fun at my local spot. I should have called it Wet&Wild. Maybe I'll change it.
Being 15 minutes long, it takes a little while to get going.
Hope you like it or at least humour me and say you do. lol

^^ Yep agreeing with above statements. RUN FOR THE HILLS LIGHTNING. I have been there done that. The second I saw the lightning the kite safties were
pulled and the kite was out of the air. I was packed before the rain started to fall. Good thing to I dont have room to dry a 14m Frenzy.

Great vid, really enjoyed it- that's one helluva spot to ride you've got there! Were you actually floating in the water at the end?
So many kites too... is that just a nornal day or was this an event?

I counted three bolts of lightening. But anyway. Very cool video, and great spot. Thanks you for sharing.

Wow! Thanks everyone.
Yeah the buggy floats just fine much to the annoyance of the local kitesurfers. I see it as revenge for leaving their gear all over the drag strip.
They now know I can go in the water and land my kite and just sit there, a bit like fishing but for surfers. Doesn't do my bearings much good though.
There can be hundreds of kitesurfers at the weekend although come winter only the die hards are left and yeah, not normally that many kites on land.
It was the annual racekites.com event.
Thanks again.
