Default pictures from Miami Kitemasters 2009 May 18/19

Are there any photos from this event? I saw a post that there would be some, but nothing so far...

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!

Hi Guys,

yes a bunch of pictures from races, riders, spectators and several videos were posted on Miamikiteboarding website right after the event, and even more were uploaded within the last 2 weeks of May.

A nice video is also running on our website home page ; the music is a bit agressive but the images are top. Thanks to Mike Hirooka for the shootage and editing.

here are all the links to check them out :
www.miamikiteboarding.com for the video
http://www.miamikiteboarding.com/pho...s/video_1.html for tons of fotos


enjoy.

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 ...

Great photos Rick. I posted a link from the SBC Kiteboard news wire. Looking forward to seeing the second batch too.

Returning to the Kiteboard Masters for another look ...

They're off!

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

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

Still more to come ...
