Just watching the ad shorts are bad enough...you could never sit through a full show surely....more than embarrassing,it's insulting to anyone's intelligence ...not good advertising for your brand of kite ... ouch

Great publicity for the sport.

This is where the public get's their negative perception for this sport.

NOooo
We all know it's made up stuff for the average Jo in the name if light entertainment

That's why it's called acting

Sounds to me like the writer of that show lost his girlfriend/wife to a kitesurfer.

Well spotted, it was actually at Magic Maui Harness which was the ladies "Mystic" range before they went under the same banner. Naish wouldn't put their brand anywhere near something that dodgy!!

Classic stuff. It mustn't have been a Cabrinha kite because it was stuck on the apartment building roof, not in a tree.

was a Slingshot Rally........

Quite amusing, glassy ocean, not a whitecap in sight, but she ends up getting hung up on a multi storey roof

Because the acting is so bad , could do a voice over and change the context of that youtube video.

three dumb , gay guys chasing and fooling around on the beach when one spots a suicidal attempt on the building , she's a jumper or least that is what it appears to the three dudes, with some of the hand movements and expressions from the over the top acting could use some creative dialog.

Thanks for posting. Laughed so hard. That is fantastic. My favourite bit was when the great Peter "its death on a stick out there" Phelps called kitesurfing a mickey mouse sport. Absolute gold!

Pretty harsh words guy's from what i can see someone is trying to do there best for the sport, the riding they did show looked controlled and well done seeing the conditions didn't look to flash. We all know its just a fictional show like all the others i take my hate off to anyone that puts themself on the line to promote the sport. Seems all the people that have negative comments dont contribute to the sport anyway.

Awesome effort Holly well done!

No way was any guy bagging the riding. just the show. So it was Holly (hol) Haldenby (the 23 year old grommet from the Central Coast)? Props to you, you ripped it up. I just need to get some boosting tips

. Congrats on your sponsorship.

Cant you all see

This is just a Brain washing show for the sheeple masses to make out that kitesurfers are dangerous and (Mickey Mouse????)what ever that means.So they can ban us from all beaches.Maybe its cause were not paying wind taxes?
