KITEBOARDING GONE WRONG! HE SAVED HER LIFE!

When things break we fix them... (eventually) and when people need help we save them. All of these things are just a part of living on the water! Give a little 👍 to Billy in the comments for helping this lady out 🥰 What a guy! Kiteboarding is a safe sport as long as you know what you are doing and how to work your safety system. However, sometimes things can get a little more complicated than that. This Kitemare started because she could NOT reach her release system!

    I've been watching all your videos, you do a great job of recording and narrating. I didn't realize how cool kiteboarding from POV was. I've watched a ton of kiteboarding but you two are the best! It's inspiring, I lived in WPB for 3 years, I just started kiteboarding lessons I was body dragging and then had to move back to MI. I thought I could/would continue my progression here but it's tough to do from the inland lakes around me. Watching your videos makes me want to get out to the great lakes and continue learning this amazing sport. It sure can be intimidating for beginners... keep up the great work! Hope to see you in MI on your road trip!

    Billy is a hero for saving the lady... He monstered the waves, did a U turn nearly hitting the beach himself, had to do a slide move to avoid the rocks, picked off seaweed with his spare hand while he focused, like a greek athlete, and singlehandedly swept down, picking up the lady's board with his teeth, all while flexing, pivoting like a champion, and rescuing the girl. Bloody legend...

    25 years windsurfing experience - I then bought all the kiting gear and had a similar scare as the lady Billy saved - Kiting is a great sport but can be seriously dangerous - if she'd dragged into the rocks and trees she was heading straight towards - she would have been in serious danger - Billy is not exaggerating that he may have saved her life.... Also great advice to get lessons and the right gear....

Too bad about your recycled board but great to have passed on to those local boys. I’m sure they will have tons of fun with it. You sure were getting Big Air out there! You are obviously a real expert at it and you showed us why you are a great instructor of the sport. Jetty looked kind of non-plussed about her new friends. That pack though looked to be not so friendly and Sierra picked her just in time. This island really looked nice but perhaps a bit too windy. Hope you kids are staying safe & healthy

    I've been kiting 12 years in the NW and Florida. I've seen people get wrapped up but it's rare. When passing someone the up wind kiter raises his kite and the downwind rider lowers his kite in order to pass each other without tangling.

Can you give a demonstration of how you set up all of this rigging? So now you have a problem and you release your kite, is your kite go off into never never land or does it collapse and settle down to the water and will it sink? What are the maximum wind speeds that you should not go kite boarding? Thanks for the videos and your channel. Stay Healthy!
