I would get in touch with the photographer, Paul Porter and see what you can work out. If you email me, flkitesurfer at hotmail.com, I will send his email address back to you. He did nail some great shots during the race. I can recall a down draft eddy from the chopper spinning along and about dropped my kite to the water during the shooting. Great times.

I saw this photo on kiteforum, it intrigued me to the point to where I contacted the rider to learn more. You can read what came out of it and this 16 year old lady's outlook on kiting at ... Ella Rides Waves! . |
Steve McCormack of Kitepower in NSW, Australia sent this video along. Amazing what you can do with some flowing water.

This just came in from Norway via France? Pretty amazing stuff and well filmed too. I understand there is a second extreme sport. It involves competing teams of guys running around below the cliff catching the skies the flying squirrels kick off?! Looks like St. Nick was the third guy off the cliff. Glad he made it home in one piece to take care of things last night.
