winds

Squamish

strong winds blow up Howe Sound where it meets the Squamish River, creating an aquatic playground of sorts, and attracting a fleet of kitesurfers

the white streak near centre frame is Shannon Falls, another local attraction

I've seen guys do this around here. Boy, do they go fast! Your arms must be tired after a day of kitesurfing. I would love to visit that waterfall.

A breezy summer day - what a perfect way for active people to spend time on the water.

A well captured image David. That’s one sport where social distancing should not be a problem.

Eco-friendly sports in a beautiful location. V

Perfect sport or social distancing. Judging from the "kites" and wakes there is a strong wind at this location.

Great action capture of these kitesurfers enjoying themselves. Beautiful background as well.

The kite surfing sure looks like fun, I would love to try it if I was 50 years younger and a better swimmer.

I agree with Dan ! A good way to have fun in spite of the virus, and the location looks great. V.

It does look like a lot of people are having fun and socially distancing at the same time.
