I thought he was doing fine till 2 minutes in :lol:

Need to link that one to the Depower Blade for sale posting!

mougl - 16-6-2009 at 08:05 PM

I dont know Kam...just doesnt seem like the brightest idea to me to launch a blade (even a 3m) in those winds.

lad - 16-6-2009 at 08:10 PM

But the depowerable 3m(!) Ozone Access could prob. do the job! :cool:

Dang.... I was really waiting on the orca to go for the temporary beaching to snag the tasty, flailing "bait" before swimming off into the sunset.

It really would have added the perfect Monty Python (or Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom for those old enough to remember that) flavor to the whole thing.
:ticking:

History in the making! The worlds first attempt at bare foot kite surfing!

Kamikuza - 16-6-2009 at 11:41 PM

It looked like he had plenty of room down wind :D :karate:
... wonder how he got the kite outa the water? :lol:

just out of curiosity?
What color twister you got mougl?

mougl - 17-6-2009 at 02:31 PM

Blue/black/gray :D

dgkid78 - 17-6-2009 at 04:35 PM

thats a great video. Awesome seeing that sand sweeping by. You'd think he would have his lines sorted before launching. Jeeezz constantly spinning the bar and trying to untangle, scary in them winds :crazy:

kitejumper - 1-7-2009 at 06:03 PM

this was one of many utube kite vids i watched before i bought my first power kite.......i was so scared of my beamer 3m after seeing all these crazy kiters,that i didnt even fly it for 3wks after i got it , and then i was totally scared it was going to kill me for sure--:P

This one was on the same page.

Sure the guy has a speed record but does it count if it is complete with wipe-out.

I thought he did well for a blade in 50 mph winds.

BeamerBob - 15-9-2009 at 07:15 PM

I don't think that was a depower mod. I think it is just the flexi extreme bar. I would want the control of handles if I had enough to drink to fly a 3m kite in that wind. :rolleyes::bouncing:

Wish youtube worked where I am. Guess I'll have to look at these when I get home... :)

remember to count the number of tumbles in the surf during the slo-mo replay at the end, the fella takes quite a few!

i can't believe how easily he was moving about at the end of the video!

barefoot kitesurfing has been done, but on an FB? any size?

try www.vvd1.net if you're behind a proxy restricting your access. it might work.

just paste the url in the bar on bottom.

There's a fine line between craziness, and stupidity...

Idk if I'd sympathize with them if anything were to happen.
