Catching Air

Wow, I haven't seen this kind of air in a closed-deck boat before. (And even on a ski, this is seriously big air).

 

http://www.kfishsurf.com/ (The site has super-annoying javascript-dependent images, so you need to have JS turned on to view. Most of the pics are boardies, but go to July 12th's pics of the day to see the paddler, Darren Bason, at Newquay in Cornwall.)

OBX Surf Kayak event
OK, so this event was two months ago now. But it was a very fun contest. Doug and Joey did a nice job running it, too. Pics can be found at here and on the East Coast Surf Kayak Assocation's website-slash-blog (at http://www.eskasurf.com).

The event was sponsored, BTW, by Kitty Hawk Kites. And they do kiteboarding stuff, too, for those looking to pick up yet another addictive, gear-intensive watersport.
