The wind is up and Rocco and Barbara are here along with about 10 other kiters. On the way to the beach, I pass the lotus pond - and busy bees
Love the colors
Another view
A red dragonfly
A blue dasher
Face to face with a blue dasher
Then at the beach - 3 kiters
This is Barbara starting a jump. I'm shooting at f5.6, 300mm (full zoom), 1/1000 sec to catch the water patterns
A bit later - look at the water dropping off her board
Swinging around
Maybe Harun?
Harun jumping?
Barbara riding
Leaning back to start a jump
Takeoff
Kickback
Another jump - takeoff
Hanging in the air
Swinging around
Landing
And back to the beach - exchanging rig with Rocco
Rocco jumping
Grabbing the board - showoff :)
Another jump - takeoff
Another jump - takeoff
Up up and away
Swinging back
Flying higher
Another jump
Leaning back for another jump
Rocco flying
Leaning back for another jump
Like a rodeo bronco rider
Takeoff
Interesting - the board is parallel to the water instead of the usual aircraft-like takeoff
Another jump - this time an aircraft takeoff
Flying in front of Nikoi Island
Up, up and away
Rocco and not barbara
Rocco's other girl
Flying so high
Another jump - but not so good focus
Lifting and tongue biting
Oops -
