Yes it really is like that.

Mind you, the day we flew in it wasnt that wind and it was OK, but we were very very very lucky. A friend of mine used to fly into Wellington regularly and it is normaly the case that the captain will explain to the passengers what is about to happen before they land.

Whilst we where sailing there we drove past the aiport each day and saw what it would normally be like. After all it is "windy wellington".

I flew into Wellington, and it is like that.

Going to the sailing club each day, we had to drive past the end of the runway, and we'd always watch this when it was windy (which was almost every day really).

I now it is not exactly sailing related but it came off the 12foot skiff website.

Don't watch if you are a nervous flyer....

Wow what a great video! I bet wind/kitesurfing for that distance hurts!

Ditto.  That's fantastic.  I would eBay my pet cat for a go on one of those Orma 60s.  Buy it now, no reserve, the lot.

That long distance boarding reminds me of this, the best bit of 18' skiff/board/kite racing footage on the web, the Ronstan Bridge to Bridge race.  Apologies if this is a repost, I have not been following this thread.

Anyone know what the soundtrak is?  It''s really cool, kinda somewhere in between Leftfield and Groove Armada...
