Finally a new kiteboarding movie! With a Kite - It's coming!

The Triple S Invitational and the story of how it began...
The most anticipated kite movie of this decade has been given a firm release date! March 4th is the date in question, and believe us when we tell you it’s going to be good.

Autofocus good, Catalyst good, we’re talking stars on the sidewalk, hall of fame, endless play on the DVD player kind of kiteboarding movie here, and it’s available on Vimeo On Demand in only a few weeks.

If you’re wondering how one movie can make such a splash, check out the trailer below, but in essence it’s about the Triple S competition at Real Watersports in Cape Hatteras, USA. The story takes us through how the event became to be one of the biggest in kiteboarding history from its humble beginnings as an invitational event for a few mates.

“Shot on location in Cape Hatteras, N.C., Hood River, Ore., Nitro City, Panama, Tampa, Fla., and Charleston, S.C., the film opens with a narration by Sir Richard Branson as the history of human flight via kite unfolds through custom watercolor cell animation.

“With a Kite” then follows Charleston native and Naish pro kiteboarder Davey Blair and some of the world’s best riders as they make their annual pilgrimage to the Triple-S Invitational in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, the cradle of human flight.

Started in 2006, “Triple-S” stands for surf, slicks and sliders, where riders compete on strapless surfboards in the surf, wake-style boards in open water freestyle on the “slicks,” and over obstacles like sliders, rails and kickers. Filmmakers Adam Boozer and Tim Tewell self-funded the project, traveling to numerous locations over the past two years to interview riders at the Triple-S and other events, and get insight into their lives as well as the growth of the sport. The film was shot entirely on state of the art equipment, including the RED EPIC camera at 5k resolution and the Phantom Miro Digital High Speed camera, which captures 1000 frames per second for incredibly detailed slow-motion shots”


One question remains... Does the guy with his leash dangling in mid air drop his kite? I guess we'll have to wait until the movie comes out to see!
