tell us the story behind the session

I am guessing it was all done at the same time as this pic

And most likely why we didn't see more pics cause the jeep thing was happening in the background

They should have more pics and film, so we hopefully will see more in the future

^^ interesting reading the comments regarding the size

It's made the front page of the news today.

Someone told me it was on the telly news as well.
Jeep will be happy with that freeby.

Yeah Im sure Jeep are paying but that would be for their ad campaign (Im sure we will see that sooner or later) but free airtime on prime time news!!! thats is GOLD.

And re the wave size quoted ???
When has any 'wave size quoted' not been controversial. Thats is always the way it goes.
Whatever the size U reckon it might be - its an awesome bit of footage.

Yep what peterc says............. thats gotta be a milestone in the kitesurfing right there !!!

How is this for a different perspective. Ry told me about this session a few weeks ago and I have been hanging to see it.

I am in Beijing for work and just drove past the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium and because Ihave an hour in the car I thought I would see what was happening on Seabreeze.

Now I am spewing Because being in Beijing I can't click the link to see the clip because YouTube is blocked in China.

Ben Wilson he bad man!!!!!

1:23 in this is fairly big.

Nope mate,not requesting his approval, just wondering why we didn't get the usual coat of bull %hit and criticism of people who probably kite 50 times better than him on the basis of:

camera angle not good enough for Rowdy Tarantino
Subject is hooked in and therefore not worth displaying
He has straps so it is a poor effort (although in this instance Ben is unstrapped)
Useless as kiting is gay and wake boarders are way more advanced
and finaly my favorite, subject is not legit under his own undiscosed criteria

I was just wondering where the above video fits in????

I also really enjoy getting red thumbed by his army of little followers so I allow myself a couple of stabs per month in a vain attempt to save him as I am deeply concerned that his over inflated ego my cause a brain aneurysm some days.
