I think everyone has missed your point Bates.
Yeah its not a good wind direction,but, would love to have the high powered fans
that I could set the wind speed of my choice and to blow when ever I wanted
that guy in the yellow is still cool coz he is riding unstrapped man, shakkas all round
Personally I like kiting in behind a sand bank or island on super smooth flat water and all the noise you hear is the board cutting the water 
Master Bates has too much time on his hands me thinks
Good to see kitepants are making a resurgence - in lurid yellow no less...
