Holy shit! That looks like a really fun way to kill yourself. I would so seriously love to try that.

he should be wearing a Bawls hat, not a Red Bull one... cause he's got some seriously big bawls.

The "music" (for lack of a better word) is not the focus of the video.

He's taking the sport to a new level? What's the current level? "Falling face first into water from a medium height"?

I gave up after a couple of minutes, but it looks to me like all he's doing is falling into water while being totally rad and extreme, dude! If I strapped on a kite in super-stormy weather, I'd probably land face first in the ocean, too, at some point. I'd probably die in the process, so points should be awarded to him for avoiding any Darwin Award scenarios, but I'd be more impressed if he actually stuck a landing or two and did some cool tricks while in the air.

But he doesn't. Half of the time he crashes and half of the time the "landing" is edited out, presumably because he crashes there as well. Meh.

Someone should tell him the story of Ben Franklin and why you don't fly kites in thunder storms.

But why is he wearing a seat belt in the car?

i thought 'oh noes! i have to be the only jerk here and complain' but thanks to istari i ain't :-)

I don't see anything impressive. This 12-year-old-looking guy ("Oh watch my extremness! I drink my sponsor's softdrink right before doing super extreme stuff, just as i wrote on my super extreme yellow 45bhp racing machine!") just crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME. Either you see him fail or the edit out the landing. If you'd strap a dead cow to a parachute during that kind of weather, the results would be the same. There's no control involved whatsoever. Just flying around 60ft in the air alone doesn't qualify as impressive. Not without a controlled flight and / or landing.

No conan and istari, you get to criticize when you can land a 60ft jump in 40+ mph wind.

Morons.

ps. I saw quite a few landings actually. Were you watching the same vid?

I was a little surprised to see critical comments as well. I mean, OK, the landings might be sloppy. But he's flying.

I was just waiting for him to keep floating up and up and up. Does he ever bail the kite so he isn't flown into space? I wasn't paying that close of attention.

at first i thought "Damn, some of those landings are brutal. I wonder if he sticks any?" then i WATCHED THE REST OF THE VIDEO and he did stick a few. and i can't imagine what it must take to hold onto that kite in those kinds of winds (aside from a few redbulls) on a surfboard and NOT crack your skull open, let alone stick even a few landings.... and i liked the "music".
i thought it was beautifully shot too, kudos to the camera guy.

Put me in the "don't understand" camp. I watched the whole thing and I saw exactly 1 landing that wasn't cut either before he landed or 0.2 seconds after the board hit the water at a somewhat plausible angle (but I bet he toppled over soon after or they'd have shown more). What I take from that is that this is not a continuous sport. 1 in 20 times you might actually keep going after flying up in the air, but the other 19 you get your jump and that's it. I'm often exited or at least intrigued when Videosift shows me a new sport for the first time, but I just don't get this one.

Exactly. There's actually ONE landing where he doesn't crash or the video cuts away. Still i stick to my opinion that this isn't impressive. But hey, this is a free Siftworld :-)

I was more impressed with his air-time than any implied sport or successful landings.

I have a personal obsession with flight and/or weightlessness, and if watching someone else do some pretty insane jumps allows me to live vicariously through your antics of weightlessness and defiance of gravity (It's the Law!), then more power to you.

I get the same feeling from watching astronauts, skateboarders on halfpipes, bmx jumps, motocross jumps, watching planes/helis take off/land, watching monster trucks leap over stacks of junked cars, watching parkour, gymnastics, etc.
And with such an extensive, readily available list from which to pull examples, I can't be the only one that feels this way.

It's all about the air-time man... the air-time...
The landing is just a crafty way of avoiding injury after the fun stuff is over.
