Hey guys,

Here is a quick clip from the kiting session I had at Wadi Adventure in Al Ain. I went there to surf it and surprisingly it was fairly windy. I thought i'd give it a crack and surprising it worked a lot better then I expected.

Unfortunately this was all the footage I got as we were shooting stills mostly. Check out the next issue of KBM for the full story!

It's not something I'd recommend to many people to try kite it is quite sketchy and the wind is quite rare, but if your ever in the area, go surf it. Its a super fun wave with reasonable prices for what it is. Check my video in the stand up forum for more footage.

Is it actually open for kiters to use or did they allow it just for you?

Super nice man not much margin for error!

Unfortunately no. They just allowed me before opening hours. Its probably good though as it wouldn't take much for something to go wrong.

I love the colour of the water in the vid.

Harpic Blue.

Good idea and cool vid, but they should've turned the waves up a bit...
It looked like two foot slop, I get that every weekend at my beach!
