From Netherlands to Spain to South Africa, if there's a good wind and a an accessible shore, chances are you'll find a kitesurfer.
One kitesurfer to watch is Jamie Overbeek, a teenage phenom from the Netherlands.
Here is a video of Overbeek -- posted by Kitesurfing Official and shot off the Dutch coast near Workum -- showing one of the highest kite surfing jumps on record.
We ask that you don't focus on the record ... because these records come and go.
Instead, focus on the feat. The kitespot.com reported that Overbeek's jump bested the height of a 10-story building.
