Am I the only one picturing all those kite lines tangling up together 😂?

When I first saw Corey do this in the 90s I never thought it would progress to this. Fantastic.

Thank you for this. Quite amazing thing to do. Great shots to show this sport off nicely.

Doubled over backs look uncomfortable compared to windsurfing. But...the foil provides a smooth ride & the big kite provides stronger and smoother winds. These racers are going very fast ( I see some races average 30+ knots).

I am a boater, and I remember one day in San Francisco monumental winds and the waves were absolutely treacherous. I looked out to sea and what do you think I saw??? A bunch of wind surfers flying around, doing flips spins and etc. I was absolutely astounded. Still am. . .

Excellent video!🙂 I'm hoping to take up kite boarding at Montrose beach on Lake Michigan in Chicago this year. This video has got me stoked!😎

If only I was 47 years younger, I'd be there.

This sport is proof that no matter what some kid dreams up there is a chance that it will become a reality in their lifetime.

Judging from the riders' body positions it must be one of most complex and convoluted ways to take a dump into the water at a high speed 🤣

Amazing sport! This one deserves to become Olympic.

[@iz5772]

This should be an Olympic sport

[@bmanbarry40]

Amazing video! Amazing sport! I'm instantly addicted. I have to know where that soundtrack came from and the name of the band or the person performing the music.

Used to watch the Kite Surfers off the jetty at Ft Pierce in Florida. Fantastic

[@Jvljvljvl]

Wow so impressive! I can see the elements of a few sports giving birth to this sport.

[@49minutesago]

Would love to see this as next Olympic exhibition sport.

[@LeonardZech]

Great images, beautifully shot and edited! 👌

[@larsthorwald3338]

Woah. Coolest thing I've seen on the 'net in ages. 👍

[@markalan1501]

[@mkogrady6078]

Looks like a lot of fun if you had the timecand experience to zip around the water thisvvway.
