A film by killedthewind. A frenzy of the favorite footage that we shot during the recent kite year. Unusual riding, overhead sliders, strapless madness and more.

This film was shot on the California Coast in the spring, Sherman Island and the Columbia River Gorge in the summer, Maui in the fall, and La Ventana, Mexico (with night shots from the Burning Bush festival) in the winter.

For a complete list of the tricks and riders in the film, see this thread on Kiteforum: bit.ly/riderlist

    nice stuff, I'd be interested to know what you used for the craning shots at the start?
  • killedthewind plus 2 years ago
    It is a camera crane that gets blown over often when we are out riding

    what camera did you use for this film ?
  • killedthewind plus 1 year ago
    Many of the shots were made with a Panasonic GH1, the kitecam POV shots were made with a Pentax W60 and a Panasonic TS1, and there are two GoPro HD POV shots. Most of the slider shots were made with a Canon HF200 and the watermarked shots (4) were shot with a RED One camera.

    Inspired filming, editing, of original kitesurfing in some beautiful settings. The video flows and captures the feeling of kite travel. Loved the BB lanterns. Bravo!

    what is the name of the first song ???

  • killedthewind plus 1 year ago
    Hi Chrrom, it is listed at the bottom of the text below the video (above). Second song was taken from a radio show, don't know the title.

    what rig did you use to get the 'from kite' shots - looking down on the riding from the lines
  • killedthewind plus 1 year ago
    Freddie,
    It is a kite CamRig. You can get them from camrig.com. They work great.
  • killedthewind plus 1 year ago
    Update, you can now buy the camrig from kitehero.com.

    Awesome! Great mix of shot styles and blending with the audio track. You've inspired me to attempt a vid with some of my friends this summer on Hatteras

    Thanks for reposting E.T.

    For more powerful surf kiting, check out what Patrick R. is doing in "Coastal Currents". He's makes the board a true surf stick when he's on a wave - and a skateboard when he's in the air. New video coming late spring...

    Started a new feature on the SBC Kiteboard site called Flashback Fridays: Posting our favourite videos from the past year. A Year In The Life is our first flashback posting. An all time classic, love the editing of the different camera angles. Love to do an interview for the magazine.

    Thanks for selecting this, John. An honor!
