Hey gang,

Do any of you have cool kiteboarding pictures that are of high enough quality to put on my computer desktop? Perhaps something on the lines of 1280x1024. I've been looking around the internet for days to find something cool, and haven't found jack $hit!

PKH, perhaps we could have a section on the top of the site called "Downloads" where all of the video's/wallpapers could go!?! All of us cube dwellers need a little sanity during the day, and a sweet kiteboarding picture on my desktop would sure do the trick! Very Happy Thumb's Up

Just upped the max file attachment size to 5MB! So upload away.... we'll probably need to knock it back down at some point, but it'll be fun for awhile...

Sweet! Those are awesome shots! Very Happy

I really like the idea of capturing local's ripping up the local spots (ie. Hood River, Sauvies, Jones, the coast, etc.) Pretty much anything that includes a shot that emphasizes how amazing the surrounding is would be great!

Personally, I think one of the greatest things about kiteboarding is the beautiful places that we get to ride! Very Happy

YES! Very nice shot. I have favorites too that are used solely as desktop backgrounds on my computers. Those kind of shots should be entered into photo contests. I'm sure phil will be promoting a photo contest in the not so distant future. This sport is so fun to capture with a camera.
