Conch, you forgot to mention epic waves.

You've found a solution to light wind woes Russky. Even if it starts to become dull, no worries, you become so dizzy, you forget.

Continuing with the big wave theme, this just out of Maui bare hours ago ...




and into Teahuppo ...




and just because he is a personal favorite, here's something from Warren Miller;




some more from Warren, bloopers no less;

Tired of cold with NO SNOW?! Not going to take it any more? Well, ok then ... uh, right.

Here's some snow to help ease your suffering.



It was shot in Murmansk, Russia leading me to believe this must have been recorded on some warm days in July?




Here's something with mountains and guys in squirrel suits, fun stuff.


No kites in this one, still it is a famous trail, from Mont Blanc in Chamonix, FR to the Matterhorn in Zermatt, CH.

Couple local shots!

The bombora at Dee Why Point goes off! Talking about some monster very nicely formed swells. A standup guy and a bunch of surfers go to it on this great wave spot near Sydney, Australia. You can see the action thanks to Robert Smallwood.

The bombie is this bump in the ocean, casting off nice waves

How's your Spanish?



Hate it when that happens.

"A frenzy of some of the favorite footage that we shot during the recent kite year.

Unusual riding, overhead sliders, strapless madness and more. Filmed on Maui in the fall, the California Coast in the spring, Sherman Island and the Columbia River Gorge in the summer, and La Ventana, Mexico (with night shots from the Burning Bush festival) in the winter.

Go kiting on the Washington Mall? Why not particularly if you aren't rousted by the police.

From DC International Airport, may or may not closely relate to wind on the Mall during the blizzard.


Looks like Duncan picked a pretty windy day to hit the Mall. I imagine with all the trees and buildings could have been rotor city. Intense stuff, looks overpowered. Wonder what size he had up? Looks pretty easy to get messed up.
