Tunnel Vision - Keahi de Aboitiz (Cabrinha Kitesurfing)

For Keahi, kitesurfing has become an extension of surfing and a way to spend as much time in the ocean as possible. It’s a tool that turns windy sessions into a whole new world of fun.

It’s an obsessive addiction that has led him to drop everything when a forecasted big swell appears on the horizon and scramble into planning to make it there. 2019 marked the beginning of a journey to go in search of some of the best waves on the planet.

"Tunnel Vision is an action-heavy film that highlights my love for barrels and shows the similarities between sports that I have grown to love"

Why these vids don't have millions of views is beyond me. The footage, travel time, personal sacrifices, development, design, engineering behind everything in this artwork is clearly underappreciated.

Thanks Keahi.

This is the “endless summer” of kitesurfing films

[KeahideAboitiz]

Can't wait to show you guys what we've been working on!

The most barrels I've ever seen in 24 minutes by the master . Incredible. Courageous. Such skill.

One of the best kitesurfing movies I have seen. As a kitesurfer, and not a kiteboarder, most kiting films are of no interest to me. This one is different. Keahi, you rip dude, thanks for getting this out there for all to see what kiting really can be!

For those wondering what I'm using in the film:
Kitesurfing gear from CABRINHA
Wetsuits / Clothing by PATAGONIA
Gopro mouth mounts by THE PRO STANDARD
Sups by JP AUSTRALIA
Thanks for watching!

Kite Surfing, another example of sometimes crazy workz.

Tunnel Vision is a fitting title to the movie considering how much time was spent in the barrel. Rage on brother!
