Jupiter Kite Invasion ... Day II 2005
 
JUPITER KITE INVASION - DAY II

http://www.fksa.org/albums/album70/cover_3_s.sized.jpg

A night of strong winds had kicked up some major surf. The wind eased with the sunrise and the riders tackled the day with 11 m and larger kites. Surf riding is about to go off!

Soup's on, BIG, white and foamy just the way you like it!

It looks like the surfers are running to catchup with Bob Sealman.

I told myself that I would start to give riders in helmets better coverage last year. Leaders need encouragement too, right? Franscisco made it easy serving up some great shots. Many riders provided some great views of the riding.

David, Francisco and Bob line up through the waves.

Brad slides through a torrent of cascading ice, or so it seems.

The guys made riding in heavy surf look easy, most of the time. Dimitri is heading back out. I was impressed at how some normal flat water riding guys, like Brad down in the Keys and Francisco tore up the waves. They both come from surfing and I guess it just comes back.

Brad flys in.

Hey!

George at kiteflix.com just posted SEVEN video clips from the competition. Stills are great but you need to see the VIDEO! Check it out at: http://www.kiteflix.com/


The fluid energy of the riders in nuclear conditions one day and major waves the next is captured in the clips. While you're there be sure to tool down the page and checkout "Jupiter Kite Invasion" from last year. It is one of my favorite Kiteflix videos.

Great Job George and Bill!!!
