Just wondering why there are no videos of pros jumping over things which are lit on fire? Snowboarders do it, Dirtbikers do it, Even surfers hold flares while they're riding along. Why are all kitesurfing pros such pussies?
I remember a mate of mine kiteboarding near a bushfire at Point walter when it went through, the convection currents from a fire lofted him 15m into the air on a 2006 fuel and he was on the spit at the time, luckily he knew what he was doing, Still scared the crap out of him. Large fires suck the wind in and up. Remember Eddie
Perhaps we need a few pro kiters to find a positive slant on the fires ravaging Margaret River at the moment. Here's hoping things calm down pronto
