[@geandamalta203]

RIP you legend! Happy to see you lived a life worth living. Hopefully an inspiration to many youngsters. I salute you and hope in Heaven the winds are blowing strongly for you and they have a kite for you to get going.

RIP Mr. Cummings. I salute you for living a full life and honoring your wife for so long after her own passing.

[@markcollins8431]

who the hell puts thumbs down on Daves video...5 of you.. shame on you..

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

It's a longtime for a reply but I expect the thumbs down came from some grumpy jealous old men.

[@yukonheart]

God Bless you SIr - you have been a true inspiration ! I'm in my 60's and want to try this . I snow kite but hope to get on the water soon

[@danfloros4267]

Words of wisdom from this gentle man... life indeed is short and its all about marching to your own beat provided you do no harm, or better still leave this place better off for being here...great little video

[@switchkitesTV]

[@VictorSoskin]

RIP, inspiration to us youngsters!

[@suemonk8745]

I spent many hours as a windsurfing widow on that stretch of beach! Now he kites instead and will still be hopefully at your age - well done sir!

[@franmiller1888]

This guy is awesome! However you should check out Walter McCann! He's doing the same thing at almost 82! Spends his winters in Aruba. He's my Dad.

[@ME-sb6ru]

Great

[@franmiller1888]

@@ME-sb6ru he’s 89 now and still kitesurfing in Dewey beach, Delaware and Aruba in the winters!

[@dwobblering]

[@maciejp6225]

[@petervandewalle9803]

What an inInspiration you are David! May the wind be in your back for another 20 years!

[@MrJayinuk]

This is crazy good! Respect and never give up!

[@JamieG.]

I learnt to kite board along side a 70 year old man, I had a 50 year advantage to him, but that didn't stop his drive to learn something new.

[@kiteboardingwithTom]

So inspiring amazing film well done all involved

[@st202295]

RIP Our Old Friend 😢

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

Nobody lives for ever but some people don't live at all. Giving time to others is commendable but giving time to yourself is equally generous.

[@diegofdzz]

Inspiration. !!! Would like to share the wind and waters with him!

[@scottcarter828]

He'll probably live to be 97 ! Does very well!

[@jessicaparker6003]

He is such an inspiration

[@RalphMelis]

Only love for this man.

[@davidcummings7939]

hi Christian, not sure what your looking at but please look again. my Kite safety leash is attached to the front hook of my nappy harness, always has been , as I was taught. The leash behind me is the board leash I use to secure my board , when it is really blowing , 30 knts plus .

[@davidcummings7939]

Hi Christian, Forgot to add that when you attached the safety leash to the back line ( I always go for th port line) I attach it to the slip ring as specified , so if I need to operate the safty leash, the bar and lines are able to run up the lengh of the back line through the Slip Ring , as designed to, The kite can not loop and you have the safety leash attachd to one corner of the kite, rendering the kite useless and flapping like a flag, down wind and harmless. All as specied by Best Kites . This may not be the case in other Kite makes. so simple but very effective.

[@1515bubba1515]

David Cummings your the man among us 70+ men. Next thing you should try is POCKLEBALL. Go fly on the wings of your angelic wife.

[@peterholz7008]

Yes ,he is sooo right....

[@carlossas7876]

Grand respect pour cet homme

[@gusthunter4181]

A true philosopher!

[@KiteBud]

really cool stuff. I just can't help but notice the safety leash attached to the back line, seriously dangerous. who taught this guy? I wouldn't want to see him have to release in strong wind = death loop

[@lErssikeke]

Haha, back bar FTW! Easy to stay afloat when being dragged around. Just my opinion tho.

[@johanneshahn7696]

yes but i attache my leash on a bit over the chickenloop...I was out in 55 knots with an dice 7m and think.....mmmm. in this winds my safetysystem isnt working so i don't need one...before the landing i attached my leash on the right backline and landed my kite safe...If you are registered for the megaloopchallenge you learn that backline pulling is the only way to stop a deathloop...but you need to be strong xd
