This is a new series, consisting of 7 images. In this series I will show you some aspects of the kite-surfing sport, from preparation to some action shots. Kite-surfing is a rather dangerous sport. In the province of Zeeland, a kite surfer lost his life and one was serious injured last week.
On this image you can see that a kite-surfer is testing his kite before he starts surfing.
Images are taken on Sunday, May 10th 2009, at a beach on the northern part of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands.
Hope you'll like this series. Thank you in advance for your comment.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

Cornelius, a colleague from my work died during kite surfing, a beatiful but very dangerous sport indeed. Your post is a very good one.. love to see more of this action! Mich

A fine shot Sir C! I would take the photos from the ground though. Too old to be trying to be a bird!

A great shot Cornelius. I'm looking foward to this series. Kite-Surfing, Sky-Diving, Bungie-Jumping just a few things on my list of things i'll do when Hell freezes over. Nice work

I have never heard of this sport, that I can remember, anyway. It sound dangerous, as you say. I can't wait to see more of your series. Nice shot, Cornelius.

Is anybody out there?
Kite-surfing is also a "madness" in Germany. Lessons by professionals cost about $ 150/- a day. It must be a tremendous strain on the arms, I can imagine. Nice shot here Cornelius.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Nice photo,the clarity is very good.I think i have already heard of this sport but it seems dangerous indeed.

Wow, Cornelius super action capture of this wind surfer. I sure don't blame him for testing out the kite. You sure wouldn't catch me doing that, not my liking. Beautiful colours and scene, love the little beach houses in a row.

"Because it is there," is the only reason I can think of why someone would do it. I feel like I am on the brink of a great work here C. What a great prologue. Look forward to Act I.
Good health to you and yours.

Insure what you touch during your lifetime, is not coated with the fingerprints of apathy....Tick
That is something I have always wanted to try. However, it would take a kite bigger than that to get me air borne.

We have a lot of kite surfing here in ORegon...it's such fun to watch. We have the famous Columbia River here, which is where the Oregon Trail people, the Pioneers of old, came up and now the waters are so strong that these surfers hang out there. And of course at the Pacific Ocean also. I like that you are posting these, it's something unique and something we will all enjoy. But is this guy "surfing" on the sand? Here we do it on the water :) Nice commentary you have here and great colours of that day. Verena

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" William Arthur Ward
What an amazing sport. It seems that if something can be done, men will do it simply because they can, but it must be a very exhilarating experience to do this. I have seen people use these kinds of kites with small wheeled vehicles to pull them across the sand, but never actually seen anyone kite surfing. You've opened a whole new idea for me with these shots. Cornelius. Thank you.
