Scary conditions -yes.
Kite deforming - no.

The kite is changing aoa rapidly as rider negotiates bumpy huge wave faces. And gusts. Kite flare appears to respond to this as well. It's a wave kite, a drift kite.
This is not deformation or jelly fishing.

Great riding from Irish, but that hair! Really? You never would have got away with that in NZ.
