Sit down for this one, as you're in for a wild ride. Hawaiian born kite surfer Reo Stevens is at it again at his local with a couple of GoPro cameras, the break to himself and those reliable Winter winds on Oahu, Hawaii. 

Up on the north shore of Oahu, there's a little beach that the locals call Mokes. It's a very famous beach, but not many people know where it is or why in fact it's so famous. Mokes has probably been seen by 90% of all kite surfers worldwide, but on a good day it's rare to see more than 15 people out. So why is it so important? It's 'Top Hat beach'... 

Yep, you know the movie: "Oh look! There's a guy up there!" says the man in the Top Hat, and some poor guy gets sucked up into the clouds and then deposited swiftly into the small patch of forest behind the beach. Welcome to Mokes, and although such accidents are not a regular occurrence, this beach is for the experienced kite surfers and the locals only. Testing grounds for several big names in the kiteboarding world, and you'll always find a famous face or two lounging about on the picnic tables after a session. Mokes is where it's at when it comes to kitesurfing on Oahu. 

Back to the movie though, Reo is one such local who frequents the beach. Like all the other local riders (and I mean ALL the other locals) he exclusively rides surfboards of the strapless kind and spends all day tucking into the sucky barrels that break hard on the shallow reef. Sponsored by Cabrinha kiteboarding, Reo also frequents far more exotic places like Bali, the Marshal Islands and Indonesia where he films his short films called 'Visions with Reo Stevens' for his sponsors. 

Again, to blow smoke up the little cameras usb slot - the GoPro is really the star in this short flick. It's attached in all kinds of places like on the kite, on a pole, on Reo's board, handheld and then there's even the classic from the beach shot tucked away in there too. Without the GoPro the world (and Youtube) would be less of a place, and for that we thank the riders who churn out these little flicks day in, day out for us to watch when it's not windy at home...
