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?

The video is a trailer for a french documentary "Ushuaia Nature"; it is not about kitesurf but about the nature, so there is just few minutes of kitesurfing (you can see the full docu here http://medirama.net/index.php?get=vo...rre-sest-noyee)

The other guy with Jeremie is Nicolas Hulot, a french journalist very famous (not the new JJ Cousteau, but very famous in France )

Regarding the leash, I think only the journalist has it? And it seems that they didn't have a lot of wind.

Thank you for the details and link Anto! That's an interesting documentary project, exceptional videography too.

Red Bull puts together a nice big wave video on Robby. Great footage of him tearing it up windsurfing, kiting, standup and tow-in surfing in some of the nice waves off Maui's northern shore. Contains some of the most aggressive big wave standup footage I've seen.
