KAP from a boat and risk management
Kite aerial photography can be a stressfull activity...
There was almost no wind, the water was very shallow and we wanted to shoot a motu (islet) on the coral reef of the island of Tahaa’a, we decided that a Zodiac was the only solution to create our own wind but all of a sudden the engine stopped and the rig was gently falling. At the very last second the outboard engine could be started again and we could gain speed to recover the rig before it was too late... But that was hot!
Risk management is to make sure you have a reliable engine when towing a kite....
