00:00Jeddah's Red Sea coastline is a kite surfer's paradise.
00:08That's why, since its introduction to the kingdom in 2008, it's a sport only growing
00:12in popularity.
00:15My name is Mohammed Al-Kahtani.
00:17I'm from Mecca.
00:20Today we are here in Shu'aibah.
00:23It's a lagoon that comes from the sea.
00:25The deepest is two meters, which is perfect for a kite surfer.
00:36For me, it's new.
00:38I learned two years ago, and I see a good number of kiters.
00:42I mean, most of them are Saudis, and also we do have a lot of, a lot of foreigns.
00:48I mean, they do have more knowledge about kites, and they have transferred this knowledge
00:57to the local people.
01:03So we use a kite, where we use the power of the wind, and we slide with a piece of wood,
01:11which is called board, on the surface of the water.
01:16It would take a person about a month to learn how to start on the board, go and back, but
01:27it takes a lot of time to fly, which is the beauty about it.
01:32Whoa!
01:42You are going really fast on a board, and you hear the splash of the water, and then
01:49out of a sudden, you fly.
01:51Everything comes quiet.
01:54I love being between the sea and the sky.
01:58That moment is breathtaking.
02:02It's amazing.
02:03It's marvelous.
02:07You feel like you're dancing with the nature, and the nature takes you up and down and moves
02:12you around, and you just go with it.
