A MAN AND HIS FLYBOARD by sangwann

A MAN AND HIS FLYBOARD

Second time lucky. Some two months ago I was sitting on a bench with my brother enjoying a little bit of sunshine when I saw this man practising on his flyboard. I had no camera with me and I almost cried with disappointment.
A few days before we left for Gozo, as I was going out I grabbed the camera to take with me on my usual walk and was about to put it back when something convinced me to take it along ,and voila’, unexpectedly I saw this guy again doing some practice . I think he was very good at it and did some brilliant manoeuvres . So I took shot after shot of him until I couldn’t take any more.
Here’s one of them. Will post some more.
Joke: A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead all enter a swim meet. The gun goes off, and the brunette quickly captures first, with the redhead coming in second. An hour later, the blonde emerges from the pool and complains to the judges that while she was doing the breast stroke, the others were using their arms.
Many thanks for looking and for your wonderful comments and the fav's, placing my Rooster shot on PP.
Great shot - these a funny looking toys aren't they? I have seen them being used on Lake Wanaka in the South Island of NZ.

This might be the only photo we have of this particular sport - needs tons of money! Good to see here, Dione!

Seen it on TV only, looks like fun and quite safe, like this photo Dione. fav.

It's not for me to say anything about one photo's. always look at the photo's EXIF, and wonder why most keep photo's in large sizes.
Your photo is 2.6MB must take a long time to upload, if it was my photo it's size would be around 50kb which takes seconds to upload, and only a fraction of space... Take a look at my Exif and others.
