Alot of pilot's seem to kitesurf. Maybe it's their fascination with wings, or things that fly. I saw that segment last nite and what magnificent video, and also looks like he was out at the KFC on the Broadwater. Richard Branson has a private licence as well as being a very capable kitesurfer. Here's the link to 60 minutes.
