Kite Skating with Spartan Video
Had the pleasure of filming George doing his thing on the skates recently. Geez, he makes this look easy. (from my point of view) Mind you, I
believe I recall him saying that he kites most days of the week and when you do something that often, well, I guess you get this good at it!! I was
nicely powered in the buggy with a 4m XT and George had the 9m Frenzy 2011 out...in 20 knots. He didn't leave me much for a blooper reel either!!
I'm gonna have to give this a try one day. Please enjoy.
