Tight shot




Hamish throws a board off

Here's a few more from Sunday when the wind shifted and eased:



Dave and Jeremy play bumper boards? Kiters should always pass downwind of others.
If you get yarded, fall or whatever you go downwind into the water but not into the surfer, etc.



Dan pivots back offshore




Surfers had fun the whole weekend




There was a run of geesefish on, a rare little known shallow water fish fond of uh, goosing bathers. This guy just got his too, boy can he jump!




Not leaving things to chance this rider is ready to swat any geesefish that come close enough!




Holding board court




This may have been taken the day before, still Nicci and Helga looking good. Be sure to put some block on that tongue, sunburn!
