Are they kiting in offshore wind? If so, what's creating all that wind? I thought thermal wind is onshore.
Amazing place to ride. PHREERIDER, I'll see you there.

New kite speed record!
It's not over just yet, but already a new kitespeed record has been recorded at 50.98knots. A second kiter at 50.95- that's gotta be tough to take.

Holy Cr*p batman!
Those are some Nukin winds! Those look like no more than popsicle sticks their riding on.
Hooj Balls for sure! Can't say I've ever experienced winds like that. But what can you expect when I live in the Midwest.
