He had no business cutting back between the boats at all. His first pass was a safe distance from both boats but his obvious line back was behind the second boat.

But clearly he had the right of way being wind powered...and if he'd been a boat it'd have been his starboard side theother boat was presented with. AND he was upwind. It's all stacking in his favor..... :lol:

It looks almost like he was trying to jump the boat? Sometimes Darwin misses by just a bit but he'll get this guy yet.

I'm with Macboy, failed jump (especially considering his kite position when we see it)...darn those lulls at the wrong time..

Hope he knows the people in the boat, that's a tough one to explain afterwards if he didn't.

Always wear a helmet..


..and maybe pack up the kite when the sky looks like rain squalls may be coming in. OUCH!

Not sure if we should include in 'idiot ' file..just because no helmet...

Sorry if this is old and some have seen this...? :

video:are those storm clouds coming in..?
