lol

0:20 i thought he had anchored himself to something for safety, then later its revealed to be his leashed board.

2:08 he smacks the bar out of frustration leading to faceplant sand drag move.

I can't believe he even knew

I can't believe he even knew how to kite. I mean, even getting up on the board was a total surprise to me. Funny stuff. Where'd you find that?

Jean claude kite jerk

Wow he yells at kids and family!!
That boyfriend looks like he holding it back at end...

Wow... funny how he acts like he knows lol...

Truth is any Newbs watching this the point is dont act like you know what you dont. Admit you dont know. Its cool to learn but watching this guy he acts in control. This whole site was to make people feel comfortable getting help....

This guy prob says "I know........." lol crazy
Love newbs and hate those that are to cool to be newbs
gotta learn sometime if he didnt already know then he could have had friends that were willing to help out...

WOW

Putin!

OMG I hear you, I thought "I hope he's not French" when I saw the name.

I think he says "putin!" at 1:30 LOL, I had almost forgotten that word.

So funny and pathetic at the same time, he needs instruction big time if still alive.

I agree, who the hell uses a leash when there LAUNCHING a kite. The board will not drift too far away on sand. this guy is a nightmare! I like the part where he is standing there adjusting the stopper ball on the beach. Heres a tip! If you do that on the beach you are going to get thrown!

Well... I do...

This being my first season I figured a board leash would help me spend more time on the board and less time body dragging. It's true that its a bit awkward as you launch but the fact is that it's a pain to clip the leach once your kite is in the air because you really need two hands... so... guilty as charged... I have been clipping my board leach prior to launching. I'm thinking of phasing it out now that I'm more confident but I feel a bit like a toddler having his pacifier taken away.

Love it!

Does anyone else love this guy? Who ever filmed him needs to follow him around and start a series of videos.

Hmmm, I'm really going to have to work on that bar slap/spin technique; it looks like a great way to get back onto the beach quickly! Wink

At least he's clearly enjoying himself. I mean who doesn't love an afternoon of launching yourself up on the beach to yell at random people who have the audacity to get in your way?

I have ran into people like

I have ran into people like this average about once a year and the last one was at Revere. I think we need to unite and give these people a severe kiter beat down we don't need them in the sport. Start with sand in the eyes then let the beatings begin. Better than having a kid or old person getting hurt. Thats my feeling on these types of people. Police can use defense tactics and we will be self policing.

wow-Too Funny!

Talk about given new comers a bad name. I was so pissed to see he was actually up riding for a bit at the end. I wish the little girl beat up, she could have taken him.
