Sorry Todd, thanks for the reminder. SOOO many projects, yours just moved to the top. I figured it might be a good thing to look at outside of wind season. Sort of like checking out alpine skiing shots in July. Just checked, doesn't look like we're due for a snow dump today in Ft. Lauderdale either, damn.
Got so many great shots from that event too (7.7 Gigs worth). It's coming ... really!

Hey Todd,
I was working on shots from Saturday first. Went ahead and grabbed some from Sunday's strapless show as a teaser. Good stuff! Nice sky and a good turnout Mike sets up I've wondered for years about barefooting while kiting. Thanks to Damo's prowess, have my answer and the shot to prove it! Amazing athlete. He wrapped up with a "one-footer!" Katrina catches a strapless aerial Todd pops a nice one, sans straps What is this called, strapless-footless?! Damo does a rotation on his finger tips. Has to be a name for this aside from real hard. Lots more to come, stay tuned for full coverage of each day.

Here are some more, from the contest on Saturday ...
Damo comes down looking focused Melissa rips by with Damian in the background as Christophe shift position of the boat Tom throws an aggressive move that comes undone at the end. The folks were throwing hard moves one after the other. Not everything works out but that is the way of things. They keep on hitting it. Alex and Justice go up Jon throws one looking good in his NPX rigout Ian likes his bindings, looking good too Stacey goes off, a bit too close to shore but pulls it off anyway Alex inverted Ian looks intent Melissa and the ships work out to sea Tommy's up Damo lands one More to come ...

Returning to the Kiteboard Masters for another look ...
A 180 degree view of the launch CLICK PHOTO FOR FULL SIZED IMAGE Nice turnout Getting into position for one of three course races CLICK PHOTO FOR FULL SIZED IMAGE They're off! CLICK PHOTO FOR FULL SIZED IMAGE Ripping all over the place Well guess chivalry is dead for real. The race degrades to a water fight?! Melissa copes bravely as Tom directs some board wash aft trying to squirt her out of the running. Folks are driving hard, fun for all comers CLICK PHOTO FOR FULL SIZED IMAGE Stacey and the guys fight for position in a torrent of foam Gebi pops a victory jump after one of the finishes Hamish and Matt take in Stacey's impressive kite loop! Jon takes a seat on his board and flys along Tom pops one up Had a few squalls pass by and in a couple of cases, over the event Sweeping out to sea CLICK PHOTO FOR FULL SIZED IMAGE Still more to come ... .
