Kite Surfer

As I was driving home a couple of days ago I spotted this kite surfer and stopped to take some photos of him.

It was so windy and he was really travelling along. There were two other kite surfers too and I am surprised they didn't get tangled.

Not for the faint hearted - does look great fun though:)

Lovely image - and they sure do speed along.

Think I saw this guy on our West Coast Beach... lol... They certainly fly along...

[Beryl Lloyd]

Waw !! great shot !

[Julienne Jones]

I'm always amazed at how much control they seem to have. It must be quite a skill. And what a sensation it must be!

They are so entertaining to watch, lots of energy required :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot and they are very beautiful to watch especially the bright colours and designs of the kites. This guy knows how to handle his toy from his looks.

Great action shot

@julzmaioro Ha ha, I believe you Julia, he was really travelling.

[Lou Ann]

This looks like a fun sport. I’m sure there’s a lot to it, to get the kite to fill and take off!

[Henri Russell]

Great action capture. It must take a lot of practice to control that kite.

[Merrelyn]

I love watching the kite surfers on our local beaches. We often have 20 or more and I share your surprise :)

Wow, he's got that up there really good. Excellent capture.

Great shot- that looks like fun- although I probably would have a terrible time staying upright!

[Pat Knowles]

Must be an incredible feeling if speed & power as you are driven along by the wind.
