Outwardly, this video doesn't seem to be quite possible. No wind ripples and yet of he goes.



"Onboard video of some riding with the Flyboards Flydoor and Flysurfer Speed3 Deluxe kite. Enjoy the epic scenery and feeling from this video. Light wind kiteboarding can be awesome, especially when it is riding on glass, see from 01:00 minute onwards! "

Going a bit nuts in the old country. Wonder how many trees or cliff faces this guy has snagged with his canopy? Impressive stuff all the same.


A squirrel suit flight in the same area. Some intense imagery.

A week ago some nice swells came along the east coast of Florida, in some areas EPIC swells. I was in Boston, next time! Greg and some friends rescued a boat that floundered in the inlet on another big day a few years back. More about that at: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=43902



Greg Kuklinski shreds in the largest wave I've seen an image off Ft. Pierce.

The National Geographic is holding its annual photo contest. Here are some of the entries as posted on Boston.com.


2 - A supercell thunderstorm rolls across the Montana prairie at sunset. (Photo and caption by Sean Heavey) #



6 - Liquid Planet. Another picture from the Liquid Vision Series, which shows a different point of view of waves. An angle that people are not used to seeing. (Photo and caption by Freddy Cerdeira) #



20 - Against the windstorm on Mont Blanc. My friend Laszlo Varkonyi is leading a group on Mont Blanc, he died on Everest this April in a fatal accident: a big serac fell down. (Photo and caption by Aniko Molnar) #



28 - Lightning Crashes. A lightning bolt strikes the antenna of The Center building in Central Hong Kong during a storm on September 13, 2009. (Photo and caption by Michael Siward) #



47 - Cloud and ship. Ukraine, Crimea, Black sea, view from Ai-Petri mountain. (Photo and caption by Yevgen Timashov) #



11 - The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil is considered a wildlife sanctuary, but today, even in this isolated archipelago dolphins are victims of the bad habits of consumption. (Photo and caption by João Vianna) #

Note: the dolphins may be victims but they also like to carry trash around. Before trash it was likely seaweed but now they have plastic. The get bored easily after all.

Not sure what they used to shoot that or how large it was. The Elura was out then along with some other smaller video cameras. Even had some lipstick cameras, I think.
