Saturday afternoon I was able to stop by and capture some of the action with my camera. There are contestants from all across the world at the event and it was a great day for the event.
Jupiter Kite Surfing Contest - 2007 - photos by Abernathy
There were Kites everywhere - the challenge for the Kiters was not to collide with others!
One of my favorite shots of the day.
Another favorite - this guy was in the air all the time!
Going up -it is amazing how quickly they can recover and be back in the air.
This guy came off his board - I missed the splash:)
All this and he stayed up!
Another of my favorites from Saturday's Jupiter event.
You can see how close these 4 kite surfers are...
Sometimes the board gets away.
The resulting landing - a crowd pleaser!
Walking back up the beach at the end of the day!
Hope you enjoy

I had hoped to be able to take more photos today. The weather did not cooperate. Mike, Yes - I have a Cannon DSLR with a 70-200m lens and also a 300mm fixed lens. I used both for the photos.

More, More, lol. Great Pictures, Love, Love, Love them.
Looks like you had a fun day down there for the kite surfing. Great pictures
When I went to Brighton, England last may, I stayed in a little town for a while called Lancing. We stayed in a flat on the waterfront with an amazing view of the English Channel. Kite Boarding is HUGE there! I couldn't believe a lot of the moves these guys were doing... And the air they got was unbelievable. If I stayed for long enough, I would have tried it.
