Just watched a short vid of boys surfing pumping kirra and then one wave there's a kiter in there having a go.
Anyone seen more footage of the kiter?

There have been a fair few of us but I'd say the footage you have seen is keahi at the alley. That day was unrideable for any of us normals. Such a talented dude.

looks like he was starting drive board and body hard right under the wash/lip, bogging his speed while flying kite up (hard yank on left side of bar) to get it going vert - this would then of pulled him up out of water/wash behind wave.

So yeah, end of ride, but must have been pretty happy with that one already i dare say!!! stoked!

There is a video on instagram of Keahi towing (kite powered) Hippo into a Currumbin set wave, can't find it however.
