While trying to photograph birds in flight at the beach, I caught a man in "flight"

My younger brother is fanatical about this. He lives in Thailand at the moment and just eats, trains and kite boards everyday.

Nice moody shot. I like watching these guys, it's quite popular here, though we don't get the big waves.

I just realised this guy is kite surfing, my brother does kite boarding though on a wake board, he launches 5m+ out of the water, pretty cool to see.

I've always been a bit partial to Thailand. I like hot dry weather so the humidity there was putrid. I also can't stand being grovelled to, I find that ridiculously annoying...
