Thank goodness the weather has warmed up slightly today and the wind has dropped.
I took this photo at Birubi a few days ago when, although the sun was shining, it was still pretty chilly and incredibly windy.
I think this chap, who was having a kite surfing lesson, felt he had picked the wrong day to learn. He was having so much trouble trying to control the kite and it crashed into the sand quite a few times while I was watching.
Good job he wasn't out on the ocean though, in that wind he could have ended up in New Zealand.
You can have too much wind for these things! Hopefully he got the hang of it before they let him loose in the water. I don't think NZ would let him in with the quarantine restrictions!!!

I know you need wind for kite surfing but this day the wind was quite extreme. I think he will need a few more lessons on land before he sets foot in the water. These kites must be sturdy because he crashed it quite a few times.
