kite surfing

Watching the kite surfers at Mt Manganui. Wish this had been a thing when I was young. Used to do a lot of dinghy sailing, and a bit of windsurfing. But, I guess I would have had to learn to surf first.
I saw this for the first time last year! it's awesome to watch I don't think I would have tried it even when I was younger!! quite a skill I imagine. nice shot

@ulla Very skilful, especially this guy. There was about 5 of them out there, the others were foiling beyond the breakers, but this guy was leaping the waves. A joy to watch

Fabulous to watch and a great action shot.

Great shot! And it looks like so much fun! I’d love to try it! Sadly though I don’t know how to surf and don’t live near an ocean so it seems highly unlikely. I’ve tried hang gliding...I wonder if it’s a similar feeling.

My nephew goes kite surfing. You must have to have a lot of strength to take part in this pastime.

It looks very cool, but would never have been my thing. I love the sea, but not too keen on being in it!

It's amazing how high they can get out of the water. Eleanor had her first ever surfing lesson last Friday and now wants to go every weekend.

Nice movement capture, and there's always time to learn!!

That looks kind of scary to me! Guess I wasn't as adverturous - really nice shot of his movement.
