I am amazed that board leash was used for the flat water condition (Bahamas). Both riders were quite skilled. I wondering

Hard to say why. Could be the meter was running on the expensive helicopter and videographer doing the fly overs and they were worried about board retrieval delays? They can have ripping tidal currents in some of the cuts over there, didn't notice any of those however. In distance races in waves some use them but it is best to avoid jumping, not so in this case. Also, it was a simple surfboard leash too, don't know if he used a weak link either. Anyone understand French, is this a trailer for a longer video?

I can't watch the video right now but I will do it tonight and I let you know. By the way I really like what he does, he has a cool website (http://jeremieeloykiteboarding.com/) with many new articles in EN/FR, I spoke with him once and it seems very cool. I love watching kiteboarders waves-riding (unfortunately I don't have yet the level to do the same, but I hope it will change one day ^^), and he does a lot of very great waves videos IMO. Otherwise, I don't know if you already put this video of Mitu Monteiro (Fone) on this topic but I really like it: Manera in Cabo Verde |

June wind in Florida? True story, caught some around midday yesterday. Some guys were out making the most of it. Didn't have a camera but was carrying the EVO cellphone.
This was around 2 pm, surprisingly the guys were mainly locked in, not having to sine their kites. Nice, serene afternoon, good kiting, even the diving wasn't that bad. As long as you were far enough offshore. .

Not sure, maybe John Z (1962 Oahu) has them beat. These reed raft fishermen off Peru may have gotten into it a couple thousand years before John though. They do standup at times to surf in. Lots more about standup and its origins back in the day and more recently at: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=7783#post7783

Excellent video, thanks for putting it up! Love the Mr. Bill surf and whitewater simulations. Great stuff.
On a positive kiting note, it has been surprisingly breezing (not quite windy) in the SE mainland so far this summer. Been nuking at times in the Keys as well. Be of good heart, it will blow again ... sometime!

Kinsley Wong takes someone up on a tandem paraglider flight over Shell Beach, CA. Nice cliff soaring conditions that day. A kiter comes into the picture. Kinsley provides a special perspective on the rider's session. Make sure you're sitting down, the scenery is so relaxing it might cause you to drift off.
