Some choice views of Rum Cay and fun things folks get up to there.

That is just a quick look, more to come!

Kiting some massive swells in Maui at Jaws in the new year. Including Flash, Kai, Alex Aguera and more!

"Kiteboarding at Peahi, Maui otherwise known as "Jaws" on January 4th, 2012. This was the biggest swell so far of the season and the day started off with paddle in surfing, then tow surfing, then windsurfing and in the late afternoon, kitesurfing. Quite a full day at Peahi!"

Titled "Life begins at 60! Kitesurfing off Necker." A video clip with some impressive aerial footage of Sir Richard ripping over the flats and breaks east of Necker Island in the BVI.

Well, maybe, I think it depends when you first hook up and how you play things from then on out. Life is for living, so make a plan and work at doing just that.

A view of Necker, see that reef arch to the east enclosing the flats. The tradewinds primarily pump out of the east making this a pretty nice if not private launch.

Have fun out there

"Kitesurfing with whales"
From kiteboarding magazine, I think. Trying to find out more about the shot.

NOTE- After looking at shadows, the halo around the whale, lack of info about who shot this and where support this image being a fake unfortunately.

Headed down to Miami to shoot a roundwinder from Crandon Park to Stiltsville and back again. The wind started out ok but it dropped pretty seriously. Fortunately, I was able to make it back without having to walk on water.

One of the more famous Stiltsville houses in kiting circles. No matter what compulsion you may be under, don't jump this house!

Another shot of the lighthouse and keeper cottage.

I have tons of images to go through, process and put up. These are just a taste, more to come.

I wanted to share my video with all of you and was hoping if you could help me get the word spread!
Hope you like it

The clip provides a good look at Fisherman Huts of Aruba. Looks pretty powered in this often gusty area with pronounced lulls. He also includes a tow-up segment, not a great idea but what can you do.
