Hey guys,

This year I spent a fair bit of time in Hawaii and its fair to say I scored some epic days. Here is a quick edit that Anders put together. Learnt a lot of new stuff over the winter there and here is some of it. Shot by Elliot Leboe and Reo Stevens on both Maui and Oahu. Can't wait to go back again!

Killing the waveriders dangle boosters at their own game, they will probably cry when they watch this haha.
Really liked it dude! The actual waveriding stuff was the best though, those smooth faces looked sick.

Absolute ripper in terms of riding and then two thumbs up for modesty.

Including being 'plucked unglamorously from the face....twice!' around 1:15 kept it real!

Man. Unreal. Easily the most progressive riding happening right now. All that stuff about making kiting as much like surfing as possible is fine but you're showing what can really be done with a kite.

Really looks like you're having fun too.

That might very well be the best four minutes of kiting I've ever seen...

Except for that move at 1min 10.....

You stole that directly from me

Pat G told me u were good !
Now I see what he was talking about. Seeing Vids like yours is one of the reasons why I've crossed over from surfing. Hey I still surf though.

Absolutely inspirational Keahi! Terrific skills young man. Nice video edit/montage and score/music choice. Enjoyable to watch on a number of levels.

AMAZING!
Would have loved to see the result from that last trick when the kite was about to plummet from the sky

Not superglue but rare earth magnets embedded in the board and implanted into the soles of Keahi's feet.
You could do it on the cheap, by making some booties out of hook&loop Velcro and covering the board with same.
