- I was kitesurfing yesterday and all the sudden the wind picked up massively, so I turned around and as I was going to the shore my speed picked up so I would have crashed into a kitesurfer who was sitting at the beach. In a split second I decided to pull the safety release.

Very well executed 🙏🏻🙌🏼🙏🏻🙌🏼🙏🏻🙌🏼
It’s very nice to see a video where a kiter knows his limits and respects the power of the nature. Getting aware of the extreme storm kicking in, heading towards the beach and ejecting the Chicken Loop Quick Release while still being in shallow water, to make it even safer 💪🏼
If all kitesurfers reacted as smartly and swiftly as you did, accidents would surely decrease significantly.
just wondering, it seems you still could have used your depower line? Why did you not first try to depower before heading back?
well anyway, good to have released it so quickly. i tend to wait too long before wanting to pull the safety 😜
Maybe, he was finding out his limits!
what size kite was that? looks like a 40+ knot squall
8m, it was around 50kn, which isn't that much, but I couldn't stop anymore and would have crashed into that other kitesurfer on the beach.
Top !!!!
unbelieavable those 2 dudes were just chillaxing instad being mindful of other people being in trouble
Or... Know your limits and not venture out in a storm in the 1st place?
What is so special about this clip? Thought you would secure the kite without any help.
Anyways, good that nothing serious happened to you. Stay safe!
I just wanted people to remember that pulling the safety is always a option. Also that guy in the beginning that jumped, didn't come down anymore :)
what a lame.
absoluter amateur. hat bei solche bedingungen nichts verloren. einfach desaströs und peinlich. gut dass er niemand verletzt hat.
Yes i wish i was as good as you on your videos. Wait...
Everything ok dude? Whats up? Too long no surfing?
You seem intelligent.
Those conditions were a good thing for him to be in, it was a learning experience and it looks like he handled it good. What is actually embarrassing, are people putting others down.
LOL, little keyboard warrior.
