I thought this video merited airtime on my site simply for its unbelievable nature. Being an avid kitesurfer myself, you should know that what you’re about to see is INCREDIBLY dangerous. They fact that he survived without serious injury, let alone the fact that it happened, is truly phenomenal. Until you’ve actually maneuvered one of these kites yourself, you have no idea how much power they have (that’s what makes kiting so much fun!).
For the record, Erik Eck holds the hang time record for 39 seconds in this video, as well as the highest flight that I know of, over 150 feet. My teacher knows these dudes, too.
Enjoy and be amazed!
