This is the sixth image of a series, consisting of 7 images, called 'Kite-Surfing'.

On this image you can see that another kite-surfing daredevil just has gone air-borne as well. I was told that it's very difficult to get the board under control again just after it has landed back on the water.

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.

A sudden downward draft of wind and he will hit the water hard. I can see how dangerous this sport is. Nice action photo again, Cornelius, with great clarity.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

A great action shot and I like the water dripping off also. I bet this would take some level of skill and bravery.

What I notice in this series most of all is the focus. The nice focus of your camera and the intense focus of the kite surfers on the task at hand. Thanks for introducing me to this different and dangerous form of entertainment.
Have a good weekend and as usual--Good health to you and yours C.

OFT* was here

It's probably harder to get the board under control on water, than it would be to get one of those skateboards under control on the ground. That's sport looks very difficult. Nice capture of that guy in action.

Great acton shot again Cornelius. It starting to look like the Kite-Surfing is turning into Kite-Flying. A bit to high above the water to be Surfing. Excellent work, Take care

This is delightful with the water drops falling from his board and the isolation of the subject. Wonderful take, Cornelius!
