I posted it as I often see people down my neck of the woods boosting big right on the shoreline and fairly regularly stacking it in about 10" of water.

It's a pain in the bum having to extract one of my weed fins from the freckle of some bleeding kiter

The noise they make when you do it is incredible "DID YA SEE THAT JUMP MAAAAAATE??? Faaaarken Awesome, 3 kiteloops, 2 double backwards twisting turning thingies" Mate, can someone get this fin out of my Freckle?

The kiter in the video clip did not try and jump. Looks like he caught the nose of the board and got launched into that spin. Lucky bugger looks like he got up and walked away okay.

Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that the lady, after seeing the guy get nailed, slowly look around, paused, then sauntered over to him in the most leisurely/unhurried way, as though he didnt just have a potenitally lethal experience!?!?

whats really impressive about this is that even after a million spins - he doesnt put the kite into the power zone and really hurt himself - nice one!

How irresponsible. Those bloody sailboarders leaving sharp fins exposed so that other innocent beach users can impale themselves. Sailboarding should be banned. It's too bloody dangerous and the riders are too damned inconsiderate of other beach users.
