There is a thread on KiteCrowd that indicates that the footage was likely faked.

Most discussions talk about it being a pretty good fake but little things like the take off - going out of frame, the bobbled sketchy path of flight,
then going out of frame just before landing being indications of faking but the icing on the cake was the frame captures as he comes in to land and a
split second later - there are a few different car positions between the two groups of vehicles. I'll attach screen captures. the small group at the
top goes from 2 to 3 cars and then a different car and position in the lower group. And forgot to mention all the puddles dry up in 2 seconds.

Either my eyes are freaking awesome or there is a large gap between what you and I think is a "good fake"
