pretty bloody good i would say. How was the running on water move and the barefoot skiing bit.

I like the fact that it's more than just the water action but it makes me think…Our lives are complex and unsustainable and theirs are probably happier and definitely less harmful to the planet.

I guess being stuck at work while the sun is shining outside is making me see the negatives.

what a belter. the production values on this are top notch.

i'm usually underwhelmed by kite-boarding tricks, but the dude doing kick flips and all sorts with that surfboard-kite combo was boss.

great find panda

Bloody awesome, I liked everything about it. Even though kites don't float my boat it just goes to show it doesn't matter what it is, if it's sweet it's sweet

But, all that talent and they can't drive a 4WD

Yeah pretty good vid, production values were off the chain, beautifully shot and in HD it looked incredible Highlights were the barefoot skiing/water walking and the kite loops, everything else I found a bit boring; there are only so many times you can watch a dude hanging from and rope spin, or small variation thereof.

Not sure anyone can answer this here but why haven't the freestyle kite tricks progressed into the waves like they have in windsurfing? Is it a function of how they are done making it not realistic with kites? I ask because wave-kiting seems these days to be dominated by strapless riding which to me seems a bit pointless because at the end of the day it's just sub-standard surfing when compared to the best in that game. Imagine dudes busting kite loops off the lip etc (if possible), that would be epic.

I enjoyed the kiteloops, but the rest of the action wasn't that interesting to be honest. But then I feel the same about slalom racing , its probably a lot more fun to do then watch. Some pretty cool effects thou.

One of the first things I noticed was they spelt 'off road', 'of road'. It kind of bugged me and was despite all the $$ spent in post production. Professional writing training at work has turned me into a spelling/grammar nazi lol.

The F-One promo vids get better each year.
Really captured the local "feël" of the country and travel experience.
Makes ya want to jump on a plane and go explore.
Cant wait to see how they beat this one next year though.

Am I in the right forum? It said Windsurfing > General but now I'm confused.
Looked like the start of a good video until blow ins unrolled their dirty laundry, couldn't watch a second more

"totally wrong" I love your confidence that our way of life is so much more sustainable.

A few guys flying half way around the planet and then driving miles across an island (to spend most of their time kiting on flat water and showing off to the locals who would probably have been more entertained by yo yo's or picture books.

I can't wait till global "civilization" has advanced to the point that all these folks have access to international air travel, Toyota's , i phones, jet ski's, kiteboards and windsurfers.

Sure they have had independence since 1960, plenty of time to get their act together and create some sort of weathy lifestyle with all the lurks and perks that wealthy global citizens deserve.

I dont know the answers though.....

Right on! Nice spot, nice production, and the first few minutes were interesting but there is nothing in the world quite as boring as a kite video. zzzzzzzzz

You forgot the apostrophe, and I'll be a real Nazi and say spelled instead of spelt.
