last week one photographer showed up on a beach, and he made this amazing video...
It is not your regular kiting video, as it shows more what happens behind the scenes in kiteboarding...
enjoy

This is what I think Kiteboarding videos should look like! telling a story, not handle pass one after another!

That was beautifully shot - guy had skills with a camera and good equipment. It is refreshing to see something with a little more depth than a bunch of tricks and then some candid bits with sponsored riders living the good life - no offense Carl.

That's a good clip ... nice feeling of being there.

I like Carl's vids cos he's not one of those spoilt little brats who've had mummy and daddy pushing him hard and supplying him with the best kit & trainers since he was a snot-nosed brat - he's a regular joe who started a while back, pushes himself and puts the effort in - and is reaping the rewards. It's the difference between Hadlow's "Hey that could be me ... if I was twenty years younger and had rich parents and unnatural genes" versus the Carl "Hey that could be me ... if I pull the finger out of my nose and suck it up"

and had HOOJ BALLZ

Nice video!

I dont know what snot-nose kids your talking about. I was down for the beginning of triple s this year and any of them pros would shoot the crap with ya. No stuck up attitude at all. Was talking with Len10 while he was kicking around a soccer ball. A freind later came up and told me who it was. I had no idea, just though he was one of the locals.
So i have no idea where you get this snot-nose kids from. None of the pros i met are anything but cool , friendly people.

Thats awesome... Always nice to know the pros are approachable individuals.

By "snot-nosed" I meant little (as in young) kids ...

That was dope. Mad skills!

Most of them guys are in their 20s

nice video, high quality
good perspective shoots and framing

looks like a local spot where locals rotate thru for sessions
there is always good vibes, with good conditions and a good spot

we all should have joy for others good fortune, skill or resources. it is in our best interest.

:bigok:

Watching that video makes me realize why I got into kiting in the first place. Beautiful video

Great vid here is the New Google street view of that spot.... see some kites on the grass.

Great vid...add just a few more lingering shots of that lean, young blond surferette in the tight, black wetsuit, then it'd be perfect!....;-)
