I met a kite boarder on vacation and shot these with my quadcopter. After watching him for a few days I'm hooked and I'm looking into taking lessons in the spring. I'd appreciate any input if anyone can recommend a class near Galveston, TX.

Sea Fever - Herve Boure
"And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying."

Can someone provide some context as to what these cats are doing in this video? It seems they are trying to either practice for high speed kiting or just have fun...seems like they are just trying to have some fun, but damn that is some dangerous shit!
The music adds the hilarious nature of the video and the guy getting tea bagged at the end is beautiful.

I think at beginning of video it's Alex Caizergues (world kite speed record: 56.62 knots - 104.8km/hrs).
Here is an old video about him: https://youtu.be/oPbc7O3bFWw

Drifting Indonesia (Cabrinha Kitesurfing)
When nothing on a trip goes right… surf a left.
Indonesia is blessed with some of the best waves on the planet. The waves come from deep water with massive amounts of power. Even when the wind kicks in you can find perfect clean hollow waves. Chasing a swell to Indo as a kitesurfer has it’s challenges though. There isn’t a real wind forecast so you never really know what you’re going to get.
This year Keahi de Aboitiz, Moona Whyte and Matt Elsasser sat around waiting for the wind in front of their favorite wave while a big black ugly rain cloud came to visit everyday. As soon as the wind picked up, it started raining and the wind died.
In the end, they found new spots with no one around, and scored a couple sessions at their favorite place.
