An amazing capture of an apparent student/instructor induced kite loop. The water looks shallow, hope the student came through without getting too badly banged up. Just noticed it looks a bit wet, possibly squally out. Wonder if the instructor kept the student out when they got hit by some gusts? It has happened before sad to say.

Nice, but you wonder if some might not try anyway?!

I actually bought a mountain board to do just this in the 1990's. I tried one over on Sanibel Island and had to get one. That was before I tumbled to just how hard the sand was over there vs. the soft fluffy stuff over here. Well, it seemed like a good idea, ha!

A great look at the Sweetspots operation on Guanaja, Honduras with a variety of cameras including a drone. You can also see some nice 2015 Cabrinha kite gear in action.

What are our perceptions of paradise? Is it a place we will never experience due to the fear it only exists in our thoughts and dreams? Travelling the world to kiteboard you visit many beautiful destinations. A small island situated in the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras just might be kiteboarding paradise.

Join James Boulding on a journey of discovery to a new kiteboarding destination that until now has only been dreamt exists.
