Kiteboarding Video: Cabrinha's James Boulding - "The Golden Glow"
The Golden Glow
Never have I seen a video title so accurately represent its content as does Cabrinha's "The Golden Glow." The film is literally glowing, as though a sepia Instagram filter was poured over the shot. Viewers are transformed back to the 1920's film era, while Cabrinha rider James Boulding effortlessly floats through the air, over rolling waves and plastic freestyle features.

"What would you like to do if money were no object? Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way," the narrarator challenges in his dramatic drawl. Slow-motion shots and lilting piano music will leave you mesmerized and captivated by Goulding's performance.
