Alex Peterson flying a 13 meter kite surfing kite at the 200 foot high table bluff in Eureka California. the music had to be changed from the original sound track because of copyright issues.
dude, this is kite flying at its best, i have never seen somebody flying tht long and "controlled" b4, an i've seen like 21000 vids on youtube--- dude, you've got my deepest respect.. awesome
I love power kiting still fairly new to it I have a basic 5m kite and I get some reasonable jumps of that. But what I love about this is that is so different from most other videos of power kiting. Its so relaxed and he makes it look easy! And thats the key. Just shows that he is in total control Nice one!
NICE HANG TIME. I for one would prefer water underneath me, but you defiantly pulled out the right kite for the amount of wind and you body weight. Good job.
I just had my harness break about 20 ft high one strap held and it flipped me around so I crashed head first luckily in deep water. Please other kiters don't try to copy this guy.
i just dont understand how he gets that vertical lift...is it because the wind being directed upward by the cliffs? or is it simply a lot of wind going horizontally at the kite causing it to create lift?
I'm 6 years experienced Powered paragliding instructor and it seems to me very dangerous. I have no clue about the sport that you showing here but if that wing collapsed you will loose lot of altitude and fast. Perhaps you can say about it more here and lead us out of the wrong impression? Perhaps if you like the feeling of flight you want to join the PPG community. Stay safe Dude J.
Dangerous . . . Smayngerous . . . professional bull riding is dangerous! Professional boxing is dangerous; high school football is dangerous; Sadly, riding a bus on the interstate highway in California is dangerous. We are all risk takers when we get out of bed every morning. This guy calculated the odds; thought they were OK; and, threw the dice. So what? Taking calculated risks is all part of living life.
awesome video, but isnt this dangerous to hit the ground once the wind drops?, i'm a paramotor pilot and i drop like 1 meter per second and mine is a 25m³ wing...
Man, that's awesome..I wish I wasn't so deathly afraid of heights. All I would be thinking about is that kite taking me up way too high! Is that possible, with strong winds? (Like, out of control)
Max respect, but the reason why your flying so long is the effect of the hill pushing the wind upwards (if you look at the wind sock its blowing slightly upwards)
if you get your self a paraglider harness and use short lines say 10metres you will have back protection and the short lines attached wide to the left and right carabiners on the harness will keep you from rotating. Of curse the center/front lines wont go through the centre bar hole...you can use a bar or separate handles for the brake/steer lines..need to rig them so you dont lose them if let go...2 eylets out bord on the bar might be an option for the 2 centre lines if you want to use the bar.rig the paraglider harness so you are facing into wind. maybe put a helmet on and maybe dont use old equipment and maybe find sand dunes with some give when you make a mistake and no trees or fences or cars round....good luck:)
@@Kevinbiernacki your welcome:)...speed wings are not as exiting as they dont flip the leading edge from front under to back and take off backwards into the hill:) they have like paragliders a gallery of bridle lines to stop that from happening (boring).an inflatable leading edge might not do this very often especially in smooth wind.a line between the tips of the kite might help in this regard..who knows:)

Crazy kite skills. Super dangerous. Wow.
Beautiful. I love the look on the kiter's face at the end, you can almost feel the stoke.
this is one of my all time fav youtube vids...Good job!

Nice one!
Alex,,,, is representing MN with pride. Just amazing to watch
this is inspiring! just epic! I'm grinning so much right now!
This must be a huge rush! just watching when he jumps off the car i can almost imagine free falling! BY FAR best kite control ever witnessed!
That was amazing control with a Kite but the risk is off the charts! Looks like you
love flying so why not give Powered Paragliding a try.
that looks so dangerous but friggin awesome! :] i loove the music btw.
That was awesome! I need to buy me one of those and exactly what he's doing :)
finally a power kite video without shitty music
@masterkiter89 Its because he is using the lift from the ridge.
Totaly awsome dude, respect
I'm new to this sport, but that was AWESOME!!!!
Super vidéo ! faire du parapente avec un kite c'est vraiment original ! Bravo!
This is so cool.
Be careful and get yourself some thick lines and a good harness :)
Incredibly mad skills....!!!
👏👏👏👏
Great video!! I want to learn this:D
Awesome kite control !
how much was that kite and where do you buy them from?
NICE HANG TIME. I for one would prefer water underneath me, but you defiantly pulled out the right kite for the amount of wind and you body weight. Good job.
Total LEGEND!
That was awesome. Looked like it got a bit sketchy at times!
Cool video!
Very good ! Where is this hill ??
What kite and bar model? Years? Wind speed?
that was pretty awesome!
this is so nice !
I think that this is the dream of all kiters =)
I mean...you fly !
This is a professional folks paragliding is his first passion one skilled pilot here
MAN THAT IS SOOOOO COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you for posting, You fly like a soul, we envy you, we think live is the most precious thing, enjoy carefully
I just had my harness break about 20 ft high one strap held and it flipped me around so I crashed head first luckily in deep water. Please other kiters don't try to copy this guy.
Amazing...how can it be done safely? I fly several 2 and 4 string stunt kites.
i just dont understand how he gets that vertical lift...is it because the wind being directed upward by the cliffs? or is it simply a lot of wind going horizontally at the kite causing it to create lift?
Wicked video dude

J.
Great control!
@sixxxgun in which ways beefed up?
Wow! A bit like the worlds biggest swing!
beautiful. good this one.
UNBELEAVABLE !!!!
man this is unreal
it's almost hard to believ it is real
it's like you guys rented a crane and hang the kite lines from it
Kite tied to the ground? Why does it hover above that vehicle all the time?
just like to know how he got stared with this, as first try could have been last!! respect is due
Cool :) Thanks for telling me!!!
hows the song called ? :)
unbelievable. perfect balance..
Very cool dude
How much would something like that cost sixxxgun?

wow...never try this without tons of experience-cause tube Kites are not constructed to fly with. Rather take a paraglider.
awesome video, but isnt this dangerous to hit the ground once the wind drops?, i'm a paramotor pilot and i drop like 1 meter per second and mine is a 25m³ wing...
if the depower breaks!! lool ;)the wind blows downside up and is very consistent...it helps
great video...
Serious airtime! Good to see the safety harness on. You'd be screwed if the wind quickly shifted the opposite way. hahaha
amazing!!
The paragliders are going WTF, great kite control
amazing dude :)
Man, that's awesome..I wish I wasn't so deathly afraid of heights. All I would be thinking about is that kite taking me up way too high! Is that possible, with strong winds? (Like, out of control)

Dude, you have balls.
@sixxxgun
i hope hes not using a climbing harness and that hes using what looks like a dakine seat harness
looks like fun after a long day at the office
Actually, because the wind was 22 mph+, it was his Best 13 sq.m.
Bravissimo!
nice kiting. would be good to hear audio from video.
hey look, I've just invented a really small paraglider!
SUPER ESE VUELO ESTOY EN LA CONSTRUCCION DEL MIO PARA REALIZAR UNO ASI...
that is so cool and ballsy
Fantastic
that's wicked
if you get your self a paraglider harness and use short lines say 10metres you will have back protection and the short lines attached wide to the left and right carabiners on the harness will keep you from rotating.

I think you just invented the speed wing.

@PieMan424242 yes
looks bloody dangerous
expert!
wow shit only 13 m2 how much wind did u have???
@Takoonjah haha yes he might survive the kiteloop crashing on his truck
wow man, your in total controle of your kite
Cool... But what if it does a kiteloop? :S :D
very crazy currents...
i have to try that
lol good music
what if the kite took you and never came back? still I would take the risk :) lots of fun!
respect4u!!!!
It sure has that shit-eating-grin factor going on
Krass! :-)
And?
Mr. Wonka warned him about the carbonation...
dobre dobre pozdro
Brooooo 😮
just a toy of the Wind!
tout simplement énorme
i like =)
Hey 6-gun, do you paraglide? If not you should start. You'd be a natural. You'll get way higher, it'll last longer and you'll probably live longer.
nice
My firrst question when seeing this video was: ISN'T IT DANGEROUS, MAN !??
Please reply....it's REALLY cool but I am concerned :D
Big hug/Erik
about a grand give or take a few hundred.
super
@tquix94 it wouldnt. not unless you made it do one ;)
MaX respeCt
