It was off an ad for a particular brand.

Safety (5th line?) is swinging in the breeze and kiter hooked into the loop?

Boardies over wetty goes without saying. Wrong.

Hey Rad Lad,

Good find, it looks to me like the wind is blowing offshore (in the opposite direction of kite).

Could be wrong but I reckon the rider was photo shopped into a still pic of the waters edge. You can see reflection of nose of board doesn't quite sit right. They have done a good job though.

Cheers,

KH

i guess we need more info to fully analyze... i.e. his skill level, wind strength, type of kite, etc...


only thing i can think of (that hasn't been mentioned), he's flying suicide, with not a lot of depower left at the bar... but maybe he wants that...

Universally red means left.

This picture appeared on one of the major international online kiting sites.

This is reckless.

the question is what are they advertising... if it's lessons, then perhaps your' right.

also the Doctor said, it could have been mirrored image, or perhaps him just rotating the bar half way after a roll (although unlikely due to the line angles)... or perhaps he just rigged it like that in rush (as i did couple times only noticing on the water, and not being bothered to re-rig).

Given that the bar/kite is designed to travel be-directionally, i wander if there is any difference how you actually rig it up...

Nike have been shamed by Tiger into a complete rebranding of their company, and in their first kite harness have applied the reversed logo.
wow. the power of a driving force attached to the pelvic region.
