Looks like the spot is sheltered in close to the shore, there looks to be 10-15 knots out the back and suspect there is plenty of wind up high where the riders have their kites.
Also not really possible to kite in such low winds with small boards like the riders seem to be using. Are the riders young people/really light weights?
Sub 10 knots is super marginal conditions most of the time due to the fickle nature of sub 10 knot winds.

amazing pics, that water looks so smooth like butter,the type of water you wakeboard on!
yea probably the wrong terminology,
ill re-phrase, looks like you can ride up-wind in 10.
A simple flip about with PS and voila, now it looks like he is kiting in the same wind as the other pics, - cross offshore, at a spot where the shoreline is sheltered.
These pics are not fooling anyone, we all know how low we can go, and super glassy water, always raises suspicions when someone is making a claim about superior low wind performance from any kite, especially when the board is not massive, and the water is glass smooth with windy conditions visible in the background!

How much wind was this inspector steve , looks off shore or sheltered it may need the switch just to make you feel better.
On the 14m is a kid around 16 60kg other is his brother 13 45-50 kg.
at pt parham in SA.
I'm always skeptical when anyone claims planing on small boards under 15knots.
My issue with these photos is where is the wake and whitewater from the kiter's passage further back? Unless they've just jumped to those spots there's only 5mts of water disturbance behind them. Good PhotoShop perhaps?
Glassy surface .....windy upper atmospher, running 50m strings?
S.A on the tides does this in the shallows............. looks like your cutting a nice edge dispite glassy surface 5knts 7knts 10knts to 15knt .
Fat bastards see but dont believe.
hmm an inconclusive set of pics at best, but I doubt they have been "photoshopped"
In that first shot it looks cross off, but in the second two it looks cross on. If you look at where the sun is in the pics the last one was taken facing a different direction as the first two. Also there is land visible in the background of the first shot but not the others. Assuming these were afternoon pic then they were taken looking NW, WSW and S respectively.
In the last shot there are two people standing in the water behind the kiter, so it's pretty shallow there making walking back upwind if/when you are not holding ground (or to relaunch!) an option.
Steve is right that last shot does seem to have a lot of wind out the back.
Regardless - that spot looks epic on google earth - in the right tide and wind it's flatty goodness as far as you want / need it...
PS - yes I am bored - Sydney has the worst (aka no) wind at the moment...
PPS - on a side note adobe hates the use of "photoshop" as a verb - see www.adobe.com/legal/permissions/trademarks.html
your nearlly correct hobie, but it was steven on the 12m and his younger bro on the 14m , I was standing and watching the 2 ride and I can say that the wind was around 8 to 12 knots and cross on with no sheltered water what so ever.
He's actually wake boarding with a piano wire tied to his harness. The bar has lines which have been dipped in hot wax to give the effect of vertical taughtness..... Also thats Jesus and his diciple in the background. I cant believe the trouble some people go to just to look cool!
