- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Recently we got to try night kiting two nights in a row at our home spot in Toronto, Canada. We quickly learned some lessons on the first night that we were able to fix for the second night. In this video we share those challenges and what we recommend for you if you're interested in capturing your next night kitesurfing adventure on camera.
Special thanks to Andrew Grinton (www.grintonphot...) for the amazing footage!

Epic video that should be shared world wide. Aloha from torontooooo
That is probably the coolest footage I have seen.
Thanks so much!
Awesome kite, moon and Toronto backdrop footage. Talk about rapid learning and innovation curve - for night filming! Got to try the night kite life.
first 2 minutes are the best: not to dark nor to bright. VERY NICE!!
Yes, that’s the Sony A7S footage - really great low light performance :)
It looks so peaceful 😊 I love the moon next to the CN tower 👌
It was really awesome to see the moon rise over the city like that!
I’m pretty sure this is Auckland lmao
@@mihaidinul they live in Toronto and they are on Lake Ontario doing this 👍
Never thought night kiting was possible. Learn something new every day.
This is so magical! Love it and all the effort you guys are taking.
Thanks Cynthia! ☺️
Goosebumps
That’s back drop!! So amazing wow
Great effort guys, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this
Thanks - glad you liked it :)
Awesome work , beautiful. Will have to do this with our wingfoil too!
Great job! I’ve kited in the dark once, we were doing a downwind sunset session and it was pitch black by the time we reached the destination on a 27 mile journey, no lights, no problem, though it was a bit sketchy.
You got some serious filming director skill. Enjoy it very much the lights in your gear. That was awesome.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks 😊
Absolutely gorgeous cinematography with the Toronto skyline in the background
Thanks!
Beautiful footage guys! Great work
Thanks :)
Soul looks sooo amazing with led lights... Im in love 😍😍😍😍
What amazing Photography. Beautiful shots
The second (?) camera is pretty awesome - great colors and resolution for such low light. Looks like fun!
It was a lot of fun :)
WOW ... breathtaking. Always good to have an Arborist on hand ;)
Awesome vid , turned out very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
That looks pretty awesome!! Looks a bit like Burning Man at night!
It was - you gotta join next time :)
I was getting burning man vibes as well. Awesome footage 💕
Astonishing images guys- thank you for sharing !
Thank you :)
Awesome! Very nice!
Thank you 🙂
Magic!
Looks like an amazing experience!
Looked incredible, like a glimpse of some future sport!
It was a lot of fun - hope to do it again in the future :)
Great footage! Supercool with the Lightshow
Great fun! Great motivation to try a night sail here in Alberta - okay in 2021. Really enjoy your videos.
Awesome. Is there a video on how you attached the lights?
disconnect the bridle from little connection line, and slide the light through and double loop it with an elastic provided. www.amazon.ca/Novelty-Place-Premium-Quality-Finger/dp/B00XCZJYAM/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=LED+Party+Finger+Lights&qid=1605012086&sr=8-6
Beautiful! Thanks guys!!
Glad you enjoyed, thanks :)
Some really awesome shots you got there guys. In all my years of kiting i only got one epic night session with a beautiful full moon and no light pollution... i remember the hardest part was finding our kite bag and pump back on the beach. We where also thinking to put glowsticks on our kite but we never did...Now that i see your awesome thumbnail i will regret that forever... Epic video!
There’s something pretty cool about kiting just to the light of the moon :) hope to have a session like in the future
Absolut amazing video, extra level kiting 😍
Very cool video, Thanks for Sharing 🏄🏽♂️🤙
Very nice video as usual! Here in Marseille the spot is very close to the town and its shiny lights. It is very suitable for night sessions. I do agree with Nicolas, night foiling is from far one of the best kiting experience that I had. You just have to rely on your feelings!
That’s awesome :) yes, it definitely requires different skills/trusting your instincts
Super super awesome!!!!
woahh, it looks so good! wonderfull video ♥
Beautiful...Godbless!
Thank you
Bellissimo ❤️
Amazing shots!! Have you guys ever done a video about kite-landboarding? This is a pretty cool but uncommon variation of kiteboarding, lots of fun. I have been kiting on grass for about 5 years now. If you guys ever plan to do such a video so please let me know!! There 's a nice spot right here in Mississauga (Lisgar Fields park). Sorry if this not the place to post this. Love your videos,
Cheers!
Thanks! No, we haven’t done a land boarding video but we will let you know if we do :) have you land boarded at Marie Curtis before? Cheers
@@OurKiteLife never done it at Marie Curtis, I think the beach is too narrow and the grassy area not large enough in my opinnion. Lisgar Fields is much better and closer to me.
Awesome video !
This is 1 of my kite dreams 🤩
Definitely a bucket list moment :)
I've done full moon riding few times. Best experience ever
I've done night kitting during full moon, no lights needed.
Nice! Yuri and a couple guys did in Cuba with just the moon and no lights but it wouldn’t have been bright enough this time around
So awesome! Wish we could do this in NY
Super cool looking! Wonder if you guys generated some "UFO" sightings?
All I can say is good job
Thanks!
Its so pretty, you've inspired me to do it soon
That’s great - have fun and be safe :)
We did snowkiting at night with a full moon. It was cold but it was super cool.
That sounds epic - may have to give that a try ourselves this winter!
You have such a great community, the support all Your ideas and fun time together. Sadly I don’t have.
10/10 effort
You were lucky that sharks and crocodiles didn’t wake up too early this night!😜
Haha - luckily we don't have either in Lake Ontario - one of the few benefits of kiting in the Great Lakes!
Are you fully sure? As I like your vids, please also pay attention to hippos which feed overnight and white bears which are excellent swimmers! 😜
Cool!!! did not get how you have attached the lights to kites?
We used small LED finger lights. We disconnected the bridle, connected the light to the attachment point and reattached the bridle ...it’s a long process!
We were looking to do this on snow last year and thought that we would us glow sticks, but now you have me rethinking it and using LED lights instead, can you send me a shot of the lights you used? ... btw great job!
We used LED finger lights from the dollar store... similar to these: images.app.goo.gl/GuBJoNwrQvTaXX3H8
Beautiful
Thank you :)
Amazing thank you!
Glad you liked it 🙂
Wow! You guys keep coming up with awesome new ideas for videos. This is one of my favorites! Can't wait to try a night kiting session. BTW, I've done a bit of night time photography, city skylines, moon, stars, etc. Its not easy. Are you gonna try sending your drone up for some aerial footage of your next night session Yuri?
Hey Jeff, thank you! RE: drone - I did fly it that night but it looked pitch black, the sensor on the drone was too small too handle it, don't think my phantom would handle it too, need inspire with full frame sensor probably
Beeeeautiful 🥰
I would be scared of the lake night monsters 😅
Haha the thought did cross my mind!
What is the purpose of the coloured lights? The white and red would indicate a boat moving in the opposite direction to the direction you were moving in. All-white lights would eliminate this confusion.
The packs of finger lights came with four colours, so we just used them all. It wasn't for any purpose other than lighting up the kite
@@OurKiteLife If the lights are the only thing that can be seen, as is the case at night, it could lead to an undesired collision at normal kitesurfing speeds with other users on the water. I was windsurfing and paddleboarding on a lake recently in daylight and encountered a fisherman with a remote controlled boat (probably with an underwater camera beneath it). At a distance, I saw flickering white and green, which made me think the RC toy boat was moving away and to the right. Only to approach closer and find that it had the wrong lighting: white in the front, green on both sides and red in the rear. It would have been very confusing if it was at night.
I've seen bicycles with a white light in the rear, or blue lights, which can be more dangerous than no light at all.
@@OurKiteLife The safest thing to do would be to use yellow lights, which aren't used in navigation at all. It would clearly indicate to other water users that it is an object on the water that is not a boat and thus should be avoided with extreme caution.
HI!from Greece Nissakia-Loutsa-Kitespot!This is video is Dream!!!!!Perfect Perfect perfect Job!!!Αmazing Εxperience!
I could have the title of the track from the video???Congratulations Guys!!!
Thank you very much! Here's track name ES_Parallax - Luwaks
@@OurKiteLife Goodmorning!Thank you very much!My friend!
Hi there. Love your videos. Really well done. I am promenade. How do I access your location by land?
Locals would kill us if we name the spot here or give directions. Should be pretty obvious looking at the map ;)
My girlfriend says she won't go in the water if there are clouds and you're kiting in winter at night xD
Haha the things we do for RUclips
Were there any reports of UFOs landing in Toronto? :)
😄😄😄
if something goes wrong, you better be prepared to recover.
Hello I would like to start kite surfing ASAP .. do u have ig page or where should I get help coz I don’t know anyone here in Toronto
Hey, that’s great! We don’t teach but there are a few instructors located in Toronto. Check out CKSS.ca - they also have a good Facebook group. Cheers

Are you guys on Strava?
negative
@@OurKiteLife Shame. Would be great to follow your kite sessions
UFO!
👽🤙🏄♂️
Damn that is pretty
Aliens were concerned why thys didnt go viral on earth when it did all over the cosmos, aliens installed the lights on that tower for this...
