Here you get a better look at the equipment in action as well. Note the board has NO BOOTS or STRAPS to help the rider stay on and in control.
Just a ridged pad to help the footing, NOT FOR THE BEGINNER. The Kite is attached to the harness with a double line. one of which is released for tricks the other only when surfing is over.
The kites themselves vary in shape a bit but mostly it's about size and like a lens they come w/a
corresponding price tag. NONE of which are CHEAP.
Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/20000 seconds, Flash: did not fire, auto mode, ISO: 2000, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 270.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90
