Default Launch "Inverted!" - A Look Underwater

This was inspired by the thread .. "Your locals" at:

http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2304086

and our seasonal lack of wind in SE Florida but improved diving conditions. Tons of kiteboarders out there ride over truly remarkable underwater conditions routinely, ranging from reefs to wrecks to ?

So, show us your launch along with the "inverse" side. It may help to distract some of us that are in extended wind waiting mode.


For starters there is ... Ocean Ridge, FL, USA.

The buildings shown below have appeared in quite a few Kiteflix videos including "Psyche Rock" at: http://kiteflix.com/dvd_vhs.html


The launch.


The launch INVERTED ... I think these cowfish were about to have at it perhaps along with four others but this damn diver kept killing the mood. Some fish were into orgies way back or more aptly "milt" parties, it is interesting to see at the rare times you catch them in action.

I had no idea this concrete rubble artificial reef was even here in the sand flats inside the reef about 1/4 mile further offshore. I went out today and just ran into it by accident. Viz. wasn't that good but it is interesting to learn what you are blasting over when the wind is on. There is a whole world of oceans and conditions out there, what does yours look like?


Nobody here but us Spadefish ...


Porkfish, what a name ...

So, come on folks, what does the UNDERSIDE of your launch look like?
