As we got back to our cars after being out with the walking group yesterday I spotted this chap wing surfing.
I have seen wind surfing and kite surfing here regularly but have never seen wing surfing before. He was fascinating to watch. With the foil attached to his board he could raise quite a way out of the water.
If anyone is interested here is a chap on YouTube wing surfing to show you what they actually look like in action.
I saw these here for the first time two years ago when Katja was taking surfing lessons. There were some amazing performers on the water and fascinating to watch. There are extremely high winds in Blouberg where they all gather.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond It made my arms ache just watching him.
@nigelrogers He did indeed have an aerofoil attached to the bottom of the board and it was fascinating watching him as he rose out of the water.
@happypat He was quite adventurous. I did notice he was wearing a helmet so he must have come a cropper a few times before.
