That was amazing man.

There are three small issues with it;
1- The boots they are using is the normal ski boots and it will suck the water and will turn to 10 kg each and makes life hard for you (how can you swim with those boots?)

2- They are using a normal bindings from skiing on it which is almost impossible to open if you get caught in the waves

3- You need to connect these skies together that just in case if you opened the bindings you can retrieve both of them together

The design is a bit sketchy right now but if they develop it a bit more I'll be the first person jumping into alpine side of kite surfing

Thanks for sharing the video

I always considered windsurfing to be kiteboardings equivilant to the rollerblading (windsurfing) vs skating (kiteboarding) argument... I think this may have just stolen that hat.

Good work to the guys for trying something new though.

cool vid .....good to see people still experimenting....

could have been a little better if they were wearing snow ski gear and somehow carried poles just for a laugh
