JUPITER KITEBOARDING

Day I presented a challenging set of conditions for riders, gusty winds shifting frequently to onshore, lulling at one point during the womens heat, waves and a pretty nasty current. Still, the riders pulled it off and put on a great show. It was a bit overcast so sorry for the poorer image quality. Only some of the images have been processed and appear in the following writeup, more to come!
