For Keahi, kitesurfing has become an extension of surfing and a way to spend as much time in the ocean as possible. It’s a tool that turns windy sessions into a whole new world of fun.
It’s an obsessive addiction that has led him to drop everything when a forecasted big swell appears on the horizon and scramble into planning to make it there. 2019 marked the beginning of a journey to go in search of some of the best waves on the planet.

Best Kitesurfing movie ever.
Disclaimer: I work for one of Cabrinha's textile suppliers. Why these vids don't have millions of views is beyond me. The footage, travel time, personal sacrifices, development, design, engineering behind everything in this artwork is clearly underappreciated. Thanks Keahi.
Just Fricken EPIC!!!! Agree 100%
Underappreciated is correct. The sport is expensive & coastal. Most interested in taking up the sport are either like me who just bought a complete set yet stuck inside of city life anticipating the travels to go take up the sport stuck watching videos or are the people who take interest in it but are too preoccupied with doing it to watch TouTube videos. kind of a win win but as for views, city populaces avoid things that make them envious & are the mass majority of viewers.
Can't wait to show you guys what we've been working on!
Looking forward to see it bro! 🤘🏻🤙🏻
🤙
So epic Keahi
Amazing clip! You get soooo barrelled! Wow! And those power blow tails are 💯
Wow. Just terrific. Thankyou!
This is the “endless summer” of kitesurfing films
Thanks mate! Really stoked with the finished product
The most barrels I've ever seen in 24 minutes by the master . Incredible. Courageous. Such skill.
Thanks Marto!
What a beast!
That last wave before the credits was something else.
What dreams are made of 🙌🏼
One of the best kitesurfing movies I have seen. As a kitesurfer, and not a kiteboarder, most kiting films are of no interest to me. This one is different. Keahi, you rip dude, thanks for getting this out there for all to see what kiting really can be!
Thankyou! I've always wanted to show just what was possible with kitesurfing in proper waves and how it just be an extension of surfing
Those people all look so tiny! That is some serious badassery!
Kite Surfing, another example of sometimes crazy workz.
For those wondering what I'm using in the film: Kitesurfing gear from CABRINHA Wetsuits / Clothing by PATAGONIA Gopro mouth mounts by THE PRO STANDARD Sups by JP AUSTRALIA Thanks for watching!
I am also curious about the kite sizes you used in the film. Awesome movie, Btw! Congrats
@@MrMarceloAntunes It varies depending on the conditions but mostly between 8 and 11. A 10m is usually my most used size
How about surfboards? Were those Tomos shapes in the firewires?
@@alexhemingway6549 A few different shapes in there. Mostly the omni from the tomo shapes which I love in hollow barrels
Hey Keahi, could you share the names of few of the spots from this awesome movie?
You blew the door open. Now alot of surfers are going to wake up
Sure a lot of surfers would love it once they figure it out. Easily the best way to make the most of windy swell or escape the crowd!
Cabrihna Day !!! Tunnel Vision wooo hooo.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Skeleton bay is craaaaaaaazy
Tunnel Vision is a fitting title to the movie considering how much time was spent in the barrel. Rage on brother!
Kinda what we we were going for haha. I do have an addiction for barrels!
Keahi has outdone himself, congratulations
Just crazy Keahi, no balbla just waves waves and waves !!! And congrats to the video makers too ;)
Thankyou. Anders Kruger is the man!
the best of free rider kitesurfer the world!
Amazing Keahi.. best 24min of pure kite&surfing! Awesome.. please don't stop shooting!!

You and your mates have created a beautifully crafted film. It really captures your love and passion for what you enjoy most being in the water, no matter what watercraft you're on. Thanks to all for sharing the love and vision. Superb 🙏👍👌💯
Thanks for the kind words Erik!
amazing! Action packed! - theres a 2 hour feature film in the action in this 24 min masterpiece
Thanks Mike!
Best surf vid that I've seen in a long time! Keahi's got such great style, flawless technique, and amazing tube riding skills! I've never been exposed to kite surfing like this, so It was a pleasure to watch the different lines being drawn, stalls, bottom turns, and speed boosts garnered from the kite. I also liked how there were only a few slow motion clips, full wave clips from start to finish, and that the vid focused on surfing.
What a film!!! I'm gonna run to the beach for [kite]surfing!!
Awesome video, Keahi and team! The videography is incredible! Would love to see something like this edited to a 45 min - 1 hr format with more commentary about the locations and some video from the local community. Such as incorporating some of your comments from the interview about tunnel vision with Pete - which was great.
Just Beyond Sick and Insane!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!
Well worth the wait! This was amazing.
22m43s just wow and wow. Incredible video. Thank you Keahi for the skills and kuddos to Cabrinha for putting it together. Kitesurf and surf at their best!

At 18:18 there is a GoPro selfie in the barrel (while kiting) and it is proof of the insane skill of Keahi. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this from start to end. Incredible 👏🏼👏🏼

Keahi de Aboitiz - MBH (masters of barrel hunting)
