This teenager is kitesurfing on Naples Beach. He is wearing a harness. When his kite catches a gust of wind, he mounts his board and follows it where it takes him.
This photo reminded me of a favorite photo from 2012, a young boy playing with a kite in Hartford's Elizabeth Park. Speaking of which, I am back in Hartford. One of my first visits today will be to Elizabeth Park. Stay tuned.
It's been a cold weekend here. When your photo opened up on my screen I could feel a blast of warm air escaping into my the room. It's also an excellent action shot.
ReplyDeleteCold here this morning, so I appreciate the reminder that summer is coming soon! BTW, I have never seen a kite surfer before!
ReplyDeleteHope you are ready to enjoy a nice summer back North. Kite surfing looks fun, but not sure if it's for me!
ReplyDeleteThat must be a heart-pounding ride.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the wind will not take him out to sea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun capture, Jack! Wish I were young enough to try that, but then I was a bit of chicken even back then -- lucky these days that I can use age as an excuse!! Welcome back home!! Hope you have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing sport requiring a lot of strength, I suspect. Terrific photo...Welcome Home!
ReplyDeleteI've watched them do this on our beach too Jack, it's definitely not as easy as it looks, especially when the wind's up. Super capture here.
ReplyDeletebtw..welcome back to Hartford, I'm sure they missed you :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be nervous that I would be pulled out to sea!
ReplyDeleteI hope it is warmer there than here today for your trip to Elizabeth Park!
A stunning pose for a dynamic picture!
ReplyDeleteI've seen it done before. Not quite my thing, but amazing to watch.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, that beach looks very inviting. Wind surfing they call it.
ReplyDeletei guess i do not dare trying this. but i am curious...
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that's fun!
ReplyDeleteThat sure looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shot! I would love to visit there someday, the beach is beautiful!
