If it's not real it's an exceptionally good photoshop, one would have to believe it real by default

Looks like the kiter is using wakeboard bindings. That may explain the size of the spray...

Why?? I thought the spray came from the board- not the bindings,You think the water knows what the riders feet are wearing when he slashed it?!

sorry hi flya your wrong it can the weight variant on the wave acctully creates a large pressure build up because of the destableisation of the board in comparison with the weight of a board without bindings you dont acctully need a board just a set of bindings and a kite every ones doing it

Dohhh... when using bindings you can edge much harder and ride far more aggressively. So I just thought that maybe the bindings helped that rider to generate that huge spray...
