Kiteboarding seems to be getting a higher profile as the sport matures.

Here are a few examples

I especially like the Audi Add. Wonder if it will ever get to be shown in Australia?

haha, their takin the piss of poleboarders..

Wow....was that a slim chance to blind that male model nailed?

Anyone else see a boat in the girly model close up (bottom RH corner)?

I must have been busy doing a Milan or Paris show when that was filmed

Is that erricsson one depicting the cool new contemporary sport (kiting) overtaking the conventional, "old way" being windsurfing??

It sure seems that way to me.

I asked a guy at work who's a sailboarder to interpret it for us...

"
Can't you see... the poley is rushing out into the waves while the kiter is getting massive air-time, the poley will be well into the waves before the kiter lands it. Hence, the poley owns the waves.
"

Then he went on, and on, about tortoises and hares... and white rabbits down holes... and something about being late, late, for a very important date...

anyone seen that crappy film-clip on video hits with kitesurfing ?

Yep, I know the one - Main female singer and all you see the whole time is a kite in the background just turning from side to side, and no rider... Practically pointless...
