I watched some of the Alcatel Kitesurf Pro World Cup 2002 heats from New-Caledonia on Sky yesterday. One of the rare occasions where I've managed to catch some powerkiting activity on TV. How easy did they make it look, the hangtime was tremendous
 Did anyone else see it? JoJo

Over the past few years I've only managed to catch about 32 minutes worth of power kiting activities on the TV. Roughly 2 minutes worth of parakarting (which got me into the sport in the first place) and 30 minutes of kitesurfing (which was the aforementioned programme that I watched on Sunday)
It was on at 5.30pm, maybe it will be on again next Sunday - failing that, it's DVDs all round  JoJo |

I've managed to catch 2 different kite surfing shows on Extreme Sports in the past year all of which are very late at night. Every now and then they repeat one of the completions and there was one where they followed a group of pro's (including Nash family members) doing some nutty stuff in very nice locations.
I don't know quite how easy it is to get videos onto the channel (but there seems to be loads of near armature skateboarding ones)? It would be good to see some videos come of the more competent flayers  on buggies and ATB's.If all it takes is a good quality video camera and funky backing music then I'm sure the kiter's should be able to get a few more vid's out there. |
