This drone video from Zanzibar features some of the best aerial footage of kiteboarding we've ever seen.  It was filmed by air tricks prod near the village of Jambiana, which is in the southeastern part of this Tanzanian island territory in the Indian Ocean.  The Indian Ocean is emerging as one of the hot-spots for kiteboarding, an extreme sport that requires tremendous strength and balance and is even more difficult to aerially film than surfing or windsurfing due in part to the very high speeds involved.

Kitesurfing is notoriously difficult to film by drone: kitesurfers can routine hit speeds of well in excess of 50 km/hour (about 30 mi./hr), winds can shift, and of course safety is of paramount concern.  At the same time, it's one of those extreme sports which is virtually impossible to properly film without a drone.  In this piece by AirVuz contributor jelipegomez, you'll get an aerial view of some kitesurfing action in Chuburna, Mexico; it's located on the northern Gulf of Mexico shore of the state of Yucatán.

If you are looking for some epic close-up shots of kiteboarders that only a drone can deliver, this aerial video by Oliver Leyba is very hard to beat.  It was shot with a DJI Phantom 4 drone at Bonaire, a small Caribbean island in the Leeward Antilles. The island is a possession of the Netherlands and is the "B" in the sub-group group known as the "ABC" islands, the other two being Aruba and Curacao.  In addition to being stunningly beautiful, the ABC's have the distinct advantage of lying outside of Hurricane Alley.

Balazs Bus...

Kiteboarding is a challenging actions sport that requires considerable strength and balance.  Similarly, it's incredibly difficult to safely film kiteboarders by drone.   With speeds that can easily exceed 60 km/hr (over 40 mph), keeping the kite and kiteboarders in frame requires a great deal of skill on the part of the drone operator.  All reasons to appreciate this excellent drone video  by former Drone Video of the Week Winner Seven Roads Media, who filmed some kiteboarders cruising the coast of Hawaii's island of Oahu.

This kiteboarding video via FPV drone is pretty spectacular.

The kiteboarder is highly skilled at taking on the powerful waves while the time of day is making all of the difference in the vibe this video brings. Golden Hour lighting hits the waves, streaking the frame with glittering sunlight. This flight is certainly a memorable one.

Using a TBS 7" Source One first person view (FPV) racing drone, AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Matt Dahlberg created this spectacular action video of some kiteboarders off the coast of Florida.  Given the speed of this emerging extreme sport, FPV drones allow skilled pilots to film kiteboarders from an "up close and personal" perspective.  The speed and maneuverability of these quads make a perfect match for the kiteboarders; this video was an easy selection for the AirVuz FPV Pilots to Watch list in May, 2020.
