That kid is fun to watch and great to see the mixed skills. So many good groms coming from everywhere will keep spreading the stoke. Thumb's Up

That kid is crazy flexible, some of those moves in the surf looked like Gumby in full contortion!

Ripping hot video, I like it!

Is it common to see people self launching a kite like he was doing? He made it look pretty easy.

Yes, on a smooth beach or any surface where the kite/lines don't get hung up. Self landing the same in reverse order (pulling the closer/top lines in to secure the leading edge down rather than yanking the distant/bottom lines to launch).
