kite surfing

Turns out we live in one of the best places in the world to kite surf...who knew? After years of envying all the kite surfers at the beach, Brendan has gone and gotten himself a new hobby. This past Saturday we drove up the coast to Langebaan so he could have a bit of a practice and I could see what he's been up to.

It was a peach of a day and there were quite a few kites out when we arrived. Brendan got right to work setting up.


While it isn't the greatest spectator sport in the world- the stronger the wind, the better the kiting...and sand whipping you in the legs and face isn't the most relaxing experience- it is still pretty stinkin cool.

And the colorful kites in the sky are lovely.

And when my teeth were sufficiently gritty, I had a red latte and called it a day.
