Pretty sure this is a guy known as "Trumpet" from Tauranga in New Zealand, and if it is, this is a old piece of footage (early 2000's) .... he did it while at KiteBeach in Hawaii.
he was lucky he wasn't badly hurt but it was pretty stupid to get so close to those rocks. it doesn't matter how much experience you have on kites it wont replace common sense
As far as dumbshit sports go that serve to thin out the population of fools, this one's currently in the lead. "Hey, look, I can fly" NO YOU CAN'T. Hahaha.
A neighbor just bought a kite and his next door neighbor's G/F walks up and says "hey, that looks like fun! Can I try?" 30 seconds later she has 2 broken vertabrae and a broken pelvis, even landing on sand.
its the "showboat syndrome" get close to the beach and its showtime, happens when there are spectators, especially hot chicks. With kiting the danger element is elevated and this time we see things go bad, this is why some call kiters "dopes on ropes". its pretty extreme.
the truth is mate that it is no more dangerous than driving a car or flying a plane. you have to keep it all in control and generally you will be fine.
start taking risks and you have to operate from a different set of rules!!! what he did wrong was not know the outcome. dumb dumb dumb
I always wonder why guys doing motorbike tricks wear all kind of protection, but kiters jumping dozens of of feet in the air over rocks wear only shorts.
He needs to wear a sign that warns people how stupid he is. I still think he should do dumb shit like that, but it'd be funny to have him as a friend. "hey spud, why don't you do another beer bong?....hey spud, jump off of that!"
I'm trembling watching this video. Had a really bad crash last week myself. Light wind kiting near the shore, (like this guy) gust caught me and launched me onto the beach. Luckily onto sand. Then it re-launched me (like this guy). I walked away but fractured the L-3 vertabrae in my back. You don't think it can happen to you?! Bullshit, thats what I thought. Watch the crash videos and learn. This guy is sooo damned lucky!! I feel I am too. Could have been worse.
Think you'll find the worst of the UK scum kicked over to the other side of the world a long time ago, where they've turned into the planets wankest kitesurfers.
helmet or not, overpowered or not, doing jumps with onshore winds near to rocks?? Hero or stupid? Thanks for the free lesson in how to kill yourself....
I like the no helmet beginner morons who hurt themselves and make the water safer for the rest of us.

It's mistakes like that, that make it a true pain for us to kiteboard. The beaches I go to keep getting closed because of these mistakes.
A note to all fellow kiteboarders. Please pay attention to what you're doing so we can continue the sport.

@Marinebratt7 I don't think it's his fault. It looks like a huge gust. Of course he was going to jump really close or over the rocks there.
