Kite surfing at Shingle Street - 5 of series of 5

I think this is my favourite with 3 flat out down-wind - NB about 30M from where a 180 deg turn will be needed.

It is a mystery to me how there was not a single collision or tangled harness; I assume they must be pretty skilled to even launch in such an unpromising spot (unlisted in suitable beaches)

Looks great fun and this is a superb photograph.
The lines and kite must demand a lot of room for safety at speed.
Brings back memories of Windsurfing.
Not sure if the black areas are shadows, weed or rocks in this shot.
With the white caps in the background it must be quite shallow where they are.
With a kite as power it must be a down wind turn each time.
Great shot I enjoyed the viewing.
