wrestling

this fellow, fully dressed and away from the water's edge, seemed to be content just to get the feel of using a kite for surfing...however, most of the time he was left wrestling for control as strong gusts buffeted the beach

Hopefully he gets the hang of it before trying it on the water. It looks like a piece of sushi. I really like the low POV and the sense of scale it creates. V

It would take some doing to hold onto this in the face of strong gusts... you caught this well amidst the beauty of early spring growth.

Looks like he got a good workout. Well captured David.

So out of place with all the trees. Nicely captured.

Not an easy thing to learn how to use, I'm thinking !! Makes a cool, colourful image tho' :)

Nice shot! That headgear gives him an otherworldly look.

Like a fish .... err surfer out of water for sure.

He looks a bit too close to the trees. A beautifully colored kite especially against that pretty sky.

I like the stark colour contrast between the kite-paraglider-thingy and the brilliant white of the April clouds...quite a dramatic photo David

Very nice candid image, I would not like to try that in strong winds.

That must be hard to hold down in a gust

Nice action shot and a beautiful cloudy sky, as well. V

Good shot of this kite surfer practicing. I can only imagine how hard that was in strong winds.

Nice perspective and crop. Seems you need quite a bit of strength for this hobby.
