That water looks way to cold and scary. I can just imagine the great whites prowling around.

Man, that's like saying "look, I can WALK ON LAVA" and then upload a video of you running with the lava closely following you.
I'm not putting the effort down btw, kitesurfing just close to those waves is already an accomplishment and something to be proud about (a video of a person running while being closely followed by lava would be quite an accomplishment as well btw).
But when you claim to have done something you haven't you devalue what you have ACTUALLY done.

so in waves, do u only use primary safety so u can completely disconnect from kite easily? I've only been out once in proper surf and my kite pulled me around a bit when my kite was caught in a wave, i disconnected primary safety but my secondary still felt like a truck was pulling me through surf. Didn't feel good!

Agreed with trying to surf on a wake board, but riding strapless takes away one of the best things about kite surfing "wafting around in the air" :)
Would Rather Fly then look cool on a strapless, and Ride those waves with a STRAP~ON!

This is an insult to kitesurfing!!! those guys aren't even riding the wave they're running scared in front of it. Where is the bottom turn? the surfers in the vid have way more balls and even dropped in on the kiters cuz they're wasting waves. they need to learn to depower their kite and use the wave next time.
