That was great.
Hope some of those guys are still around for the latest version of the kite. Do you reckon?

Looks nice and safe

You know they were crazy back then! Very cool!

Unsure if I would put my hand up to try hang glide waterskiing :O They have a quick release though, so should be all good...

Why did this not progress further... almost 35 years later kitesurfing was born... Seems odd.

I think it's because they progressed to barefoot waterskiing ?

to be fair i knew it wasn't a direct descendant of kite surfing, Just a cool old extreme sports video with a funky track and bizarre bathing suits :)
As chrwar says, para sailing and similar sports are closer.
