Anyone lucky enough to interact with Kelly McGarry was instantly struck by his good natured personality and ability to make you feel like an old friend within minutes of meeting him. We at ODI were fortunate to have been able to work with Kelly over the past few years and were ecstatic when Kelly approached us about doing an edit with his beloved dog Tui. After his tragic passing we were torn on what to do with this footage. Upon consulting those closest to him we decided that it was best to release this edit both as a fitting tribute to a great person and as a reminder to enjoy the ride of life.

When the Earth, Moon and Sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion, their closest distance to earth, a King Tide occurs. Together with strong onshore winds the ocean flooded the entire Brouwersdam beach and turned it into a thin carpet of flat water. Perfect conditions for a epic kiteboarding session!
Steering the kite in a loop while airborne, when perfectly executed, will make the rider travel at the speed of the wind in an instant. To fly horizontally, in 8 beaufort of wind, and suddenly hear all noise disappear because you are catching up with the wind.. That’s a surreal moment.
