What great stuff. Enjoy. Boy I can't wait for a big boat again.

Cheers,

Well isn't that just the coolest thing!
How on earth does he keep the camera looking where he wants it, surely not just static fixed to the kite... or is it?

Even more perplexing is how he got it to fly in front of him to get the head on shots !! All the while the boat sailing itself.

Cool Vid,
Thanks

Great find Clint. That's pretty darn cool.

My little guy was on my lap and we opened Youtube b/c he wanted to watch some train footage! Well, he got sailboats instead and he liked it.

I'd like to do this very much.

Cheers,
Clint

He's sailing "wing and wing," which means he's going downwind, MKane.

There are lots more of such videos, and web sites that detail the camera/kite setup.

Here's a URL for one such site:

Very relaxing to watch. Thanks.

Where is he hiding the orchestra and singers? That cuddy looks too small for more than a few musicians!
