Cheers of “There you go” and “That’s it” can be heard in the background, presumably from Captain and instructor Ty Luckett of www.kitehatteras.net in Buxton, North Carolina, whose name and website appear at the end of the video.
The video caption says the ex PM started to learn how to KiteSurf, but the weather caused a problem.
The post explained: “The lack of wind made it impossible to try it. Next time!”
