Epic Kitesurfing in Gnarly Conditions

Réunion Island has some of the most picturesque and beautiful reef passes in the world. They're also host to some amazing waves and when the swells come marching in the surfers and kitesurfers get ready for to snag some incredible lefts. If the winds aren't right the surfers have to look elsewhere but the kitesurfers are all over it. Check out pros Airton Cozzolino, Mitu Monteiro, Jesse Richman, and friends as they absolutely dismantle a left that gets bigger and bigger as the swell fills in. 

Looks super fun, doesn't it? But again, don't forget that the reef is lurking right below the water and it will bite anyone who makes the slightest mistake. That's why, when these guys fall, they fall very flat.
