Kite surfers

Summer is coming to town! It's getting hotter and hotter here so every now and then when I get a chance I go to the beach. When you finish work early on Fridays (as I do!), every weekend seems sort of like short holiday when you get a chance to have a swim in the ocean or just go for a walk on the sand. Especially when you grew up few hundred kilometers from the seaside. These days I live less than 10km from the ocean so quite often I get to check what's going on the beach. And when it's quite windy there's a lot of kite surfing going on.

1. Kite surfers at Floreat Beach

2. It's Friday around 3pm, do these people work at all?

3. Surely not the worst thing to do on Friday

4. Some days theres a lot of them

5. Looks like they're quite close to each other but there's more than enough space between them

6. Some of them do move quite quickly while the others seem to just try to survive without falling down from the board

7. It definitely doesn't look easy

8. Sometimes the wind gets them quite far from the beach

9. When you're good enough you're almost flying

I must admit I've never tried it myself but looks like lots of fun so maybe one day I'll give it a go.
