Kelsick gives up Island life for a bit of travellin'

If you’ve got aspirations of becoming the next big thing in kiteboarding, you better get in line, and if you look way up to the very front of such line, you’ll notice a guy named Jake Kelsick standing there.

This guy is living the life, not just the

' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>‘Island Life’ like he used to in Antigua, but living it up all over the world. In 2014 he was taking his signature board, the Tona Flow to places like Russia, Europe, Mauritius and Lithuania, and along the way he captured some stunning shots on his GoPro. Oh, and a helicopter pilot tried to kill him and the girls he was with…

Lets begin with that, because it sure does jump out at you when watching this video full of kiteboarding and bikinis. Kelsick gets into a chopper, which then proceeds to take off and quite literally skim inches from the treetops at full speed. It’s super cool, but that pilot better have known what he was doing! Jake was in the helicopter to check out some kiting from the air in Lithuania, although none of those aerial shots are in this clip.

What is in this clip, is a heap of epic scenery shots, world class kiteboarding and lots of pretty ladies. Chris Bobryk must be shaking in his boots right now, because Jake Kelsick is challenging his titles for ‘Ladies man of kiteboarding’.
