Kiteboarder on the Oregon Coast

My daughter and I were walking down the very windy, pretty chilly Lincoln City beach on the Oregon coast the other night. It was probably about 7:30PM and my four-year-old daughter was very brave for being out there. It was a steady 20mph wind, strong enough to be whipping sand in our faces. Cold, non-stop wind, pelting sand . . . what's not to like?

Then we saw an insane guy (his name is Karob; I talked to him afterward and asked him about posting this video) setting up his massive board-kite or kite-board or whatever it's called. He was taking his time so we just kept walking. About 15 minutes later, on our way back, we saw him out on the surf going crazy.

Fortunately I had my stabilized 18-135 STM on my camera (instead of my normal primes) so I did my best handholding my t4i. I switched it over to 60p so I could slow some of my shots down in post. I think the result is pretty entertaining for an on-the-fly shoot.

Just posting for fun.  C&C welcome.  Or not.
