Kiting in Herold's Bay

---

It all started off with perfect weather, but then came a storm...during the second day of a storm that took the lives of seven fishermen, I decided to buy a wetsuit to protect me from the cold, howling wind, and sand burns as a result of not being able to hold on to the powerkites....

---

Standing in the sea (where I always seemed to end up), flying my Phantom. This was after the storm, which resulted in huge amounts of dead plant material being washed into the sea.

---

Body-surfing with my powerkites. I found the Nasa Parawing 5 to be very well suited for this activity, as the other kites tended to "suck" sand into the ribs when the crashed or fell into the water.

---

Hanging on to my Sputnik 4. The yellowish foam is from the storm.

Playing with my 3-D on one of the quieter days. Prior to and after the storm, the wind ranged from close to zero to a stiff breeze and I managed to fly all the kites that I took with.
