Seven replies and no haters yet. What's going on?

edit: now I've watched the clip - pretty hard to hate on.

I can hear the ad execs now... "2 huge brands find marketing synergies and value justification in remote location... Personalisation ensures success metrics met for both Jeep™ & Ben Wilson™"

/there you go greenie, something to stir the pot ever so slightly...

If it was a real Jeep ad, the kite would have broken down half way down the wave. Just saying

There is not a person on this planet, be it surfer, kitesurfer or whatever that could denounce such an effort. As it stands, all time. Until of course the next bugger does a bigger one. Worthy accolades for a champion.

Looked like a run of the mill hooked in upwind waveride to me. Not even a bottom turn and then buckets off the lip?

Settle down people I'm joking!

Seriously there can be no hate for that clip - epic wave and epic footage - thanks for sharing

I thought I caught a glimpse of the clip on Sydney Ch10 news today as well.

Ben wins this week's award for... well the award has not been named but I think you will get the idea:

* Objects are shown much much smaller than actual size

To ride something like this must be an amazing feeling,makes my local breaks look small and encourages me and the crew to keep hunting! Congrats Ben ... All REAL KITESURFERS know the feeling and that's all that matters!!!
