Go Fly a Kite

I'm partial to images that tell a story and I shot this one yesterday. The winds along the coast were gusting at over 20 mph and they had turned the ocean into a wild and windy mess. In the foreground you can see two surfers struggling to paddle out in the those conditions, and in the background a kite surfer soaring high above the waves carried by the wind. I'm guessing that the fun factor under those conditions favored the guy flying the kite.

I would love to try that kite experience, but at nearly 78 years old, not a chance.
A fine shot, Nick!

Nice capture. I see why my neighbor likes to kite surf! V

Must be thrilling to do that, and the surfers look jealous. Great shot of all of them.

That guy is getting some air! Cool catch.

one old photo maxim suggests that rather than take a picture of something, one should take a picture about something...that is well illustrated in your wonderful image..

What a catch. He looks so small/vulnerable. It does tell a story. "VVV"

The guy on the kite is having his day! Guess the surfers must be a bit envious on this windy outing. Great story and fine shot. V
