User / Pierre Lesage / Extreme KAP Session on FaaFaite Vaa
Pierre Lesage / 4,904 items
FaaFaite Vaa is a traditional polynesian outrigger canoe that can sometimes be chartered for private events.

This was one our friends birthday who is 99 % blind and this charter was just a blast for him.

Once out in the open ocean we had a steady 25 to 30 knots wind with very limited space to move...

The sea condition were pretty rough, we had to launch the kite from the back of the Canoe but had to put a life jacket on (just in case)

The PFK nighthawk delta was the ideal kite for the job + the Dual camera autokap rig (Ricoh GX 200 + GoProHD) was not that easy to launch as we had to protect it from sea water and make sure everything was fine....

All the images on GX 200 were overexposed as during the launch "a" finger (mine or Heidy's ? ) moved the exposure wheel of the Ricoh GX 200... so the only shots of this session are from the GoPro HD.
