Default Kitesurf: How high is this pop?
I was photographing the British Kitesurf event in Swansea, Wales this weekend and wnated to share this shot with you all.

All these competitors have a limited amount of time to impressive the judges and just went for it on great conditions.

This guy was about 30 - 35 feet (maybe more) in the air and was there for a long time !!

Pretty cool IMO

Awesome captures here. I hear this sport is very dangerous and it sure looks like it from your photos here. Great job!
