  3. Ha! I love the “got wind” joke :-). Although I don’t think there’s any point in me trying that one. “It’s never stopped you before” will be the likely reply.

  8. This entry is too cute! The kite-surfers are most ardent and there is quite a plethora of them here. Lovely photo!

    It makes it a bit apprehensive sometimes when one is out swimming the surf busily kissing sharks, when suddenly a great hooting hulk attached to a board with a massive rainbow bloatie kite thing bobbing behind him descends from the heavens and nearly sails onto one’s head and then skates right onto the wee toothy mouths of poor unsuspecting sharkies nibbling the surface of the sea for some tasty wee sardines. Har har, it is Quite fun to watch those aerobatic maneuvers the flying-kite-individuals make to avoid these such collisions 😉

    Beautiful fun. Have a groovy weekend,

    • Thanks so much for liking my photo. 🙂 Happily we have shark nets here, so no chance of nibblies. The kite surfers are fascinating to watch, and I’ve never seen any collisions.

      • Haha, no no I’ve never seen any collisions (or orechestrated, I mean, been part of one), either. The tremendous skill and energy that goes into the sport is astounding, and how absolutely beautiful they look- an aerial ballet, surfing the wind. Love it, beautiful post. As always. Grins,

  15. Wind, surf, sky and sunshine. Have I told you yet that I can fly. The problem is that I mislaid my wings and can’t find them.

  20. A friend of mine owns a kite boarding shop but I never tried it. It’s a lot harder then it looks I know and it looks hard to begin with.

  23. I love the feeling of freedom , the most beautiful is that adrenaline , often many times I’ve tasted that wonderful feeling of bird’s eye view – I have to admit. beautiful . Have a nice day

  27. One of my coworkers called out sick once claiming his cat was suicidal and that his window was broken and he was afraid that his cat would jump to her death. You know, he kept his job.

  32. I agree with Sonel… there must be some real good excuses that get made to bosses… love the suffering from wind one…

  33. Whahahahaha! I can just hear those excuses… 😆
