It was actually gusting 52 knots, we have underscored the wind speed so people don't think its clickbait. On top of it was super gusty and turbulent wind, so imagine that plus offshore conditions :)

The wind speed itself is not a problem - it's the gusts. Kite surfing in strong wind is easier, as long as you have the proper equipment (kite size especially). But gusts are always a PITA - perhaps manageable but not very pleasant.

Good quality video sound considering the wind - you guys have got that nailed!

Love the background of this!

Great spirit out there ! 👍🏄‍♂️

When the gust and steady wind are 20knots apart, its too windy. 40 knots is doable if its steady

Here in Germany there was a storm gusts around 48 knots... some were still riding 9m rebels or lets say they were flying;D

Yiimbob the nearest sensor recorded gusts of 52 knots that day, but the biggest issue was that wind switched side offshore and was incredibly gusty/turbulent. If it was smoother I bet some pro guys would of loved it. In our view it's better be safe then sorry :) thought love watching Dutch flying high during their storms

The spray of water 💦 60 knots my a##, the trees are barely moving and people walking past with pushchairs like it’s a summers day,looks more like 20 to 25 knots, come to Northern Europe during a winter storm or tarifa and experience what 40 to 60 knots feels like,

For what purpose one of you guys own a 4m anyway? High wind foiling?

hey Sanisi, the squals that we get here, are unkiteable, we had guys from cape town come here being confident that they can handle it, then being lofted and thrown around. In fact one guy from cape town broke his ribs after being lofted with 50 knot gust, it just looks deceiving in the video as all of the wind is up top

sometimes it is too windy, unless you're sponsored by red bull :) but in this case the nearby sensor was recording gusts of over 52 knots with lulls below 20, so it wasn't only just unsafe, it was also not enjoyable. (gusty offshore conditions)

No kiter should ever complain there is too much wind.
