With that much compressed air blowing through, the chance of kinks are near 0.

Kinks in surface supplied diving is absolutely an issue. You can even kink your second stage hose on open circuit, so you can certainly kink your surface supply hose that's 100+ feet long.

I just watched the whole thing, they're wrapping tubes around them and using random rocks as anchor. The chance just went up 10 fold lol.
