An amazing video of Hannah Whiteley kiteboarding in South Africa from Scuttlebutt Sailing News. Enjoy.
interesting. beautiful, but bizarre juxtapositions. don’t you think?
I agree that while beautiful that the juxtapositions are bizarre, and it also seems to me a bit exploitative of multiple things; first and foremost of Ms Whiteley’s sexuality and secondly of South African kids etc. I did really like the kite surfing and am impressed by Whiteley’s athleticism.
Look, I’m 62, so stop it.
Ill never get close to anything like that ever again, sadly.
Anyway, this CNN story explains how she almost died.

I liked that the video did not show the kiteboarding in a vacuum. I liked seeing the locals and the setting even if I didn’t think that I don’t think that the juxtaposition quite worked.
Thanks for the article Phil. Very interesting.
