The 100 year old kitesurfer! Watch as Nels Glesne goes kiting on his 100th birthday. Hats off to him and the guys who helped him do it, this is truly incredible to see. What a legend.
Be sure to take a look, no excuses for anyone not to get on the water now!

"You know that special place in your heart where you feel comfortable safe and in control. My local right hander turned on a few weeks ago it is maybe one of the best in the country.
So sit back turn up the volume and enjoy the ride."
Location: Brandon bay `Kerry Ireland
Rider: Ryan Coote
Nice video of a beautiful session a Var, South of France, home of Yoann Guignot spot.
Look what he sees a talented wave rider.
This is the official and full edit of Magic Skateboarding, a kitesurf movie in Tarifa (Spain), Gruissan (France) with the famous spanish rider Alvaro Onieva and the crazy french guy Alex Campet.
Watch & enjoy!
"In a world of chaos ... one should look after the poor kitesurfer that are crashing together!
From the poor souls that don't know what they are doing, because no one told them, to the kiters that are cut out and have no way to avoid crashing on people going around without looking where they are going, someone has to do something.
luckilly the Lagoon Ranger is on the mission!
Here are the two easy rules that the pros go by in the kite spots, that allow hundreds of people to share a tiny lagoon:
1) watch where you are going:
just like on a highway when you switch lanes, you don't have priority when you change direction ,because no one can know when you will do it. So please, before changing side, just look if someone is flying towards you or preparing to jump, and if there is someone: just let them go and go when they are safe and you too.
2) Look upwind, you are in the way of anybody upwind of yourself, so if you don't want people to crash on you be aware of what or who is coming to you. Sometimes its just a kite flying with no one attached to it, sometimes, its a beginner that lost control. If you stay downwind of everybody all the time though, you are just blocking them because they can't do anything without putting you in danger, at some point, they will just put you in danger...
you will be amazed how many people can ride in a small spot without any problems like this, and everyone rides much more!
So look where you are going or you will be lassoed and tied to a tree!"
