That's a very special flavor of Looney Tunes.... I kept looking for the coyote tail.
Huzzahs on wearing a helmet though.

Don't need a helmet when it's visual effects.
Heck, mythbusters even did an episode on this video.
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

I appreciate any video with that guy in it, I know it's not worth watching. (Maybe I'm still sore about his kiter-insults)

...seems like the speed is too great for given angle, length and general factors..... seems almost fake.... may be real.

Mythbusters also thought so. So they tried it - it's a fake.

You can fool some of the people, some of...
Yeah....
The speed needed to launch like that was the main factor... and also the hidden view of slider preceding the launch ramp... but the rest looked
realistic..which would fool some.
But check out this Kiting Classic which some said was fake.. but apparently it's as real as it looks..

So... first vid didnt look right.
RWJ... rather offensive, slightly amusing. Made me chuckle. But not worth much more than that.
The classic kiting video with Top Hat and Erik Eck... Must watch for all kitesurfers. Doesnt get much more real than that. Thats something that CAN
happen. Its rare, but it does happen. Up drafts in strange places can be a bit scary... Helmets, and knowledge of your area are a must..
