It was the only picture with a big wall in it
and I couldn't help myself with that arrow.
Still, if you were southbound and you came
across something like that. Then what?

I can imagine how hard it must be to get good
wave riding shots. Sounds like a job for the kite
paparrazzi.

I saw in Spare Change where guys are unhooked
with one hand on the bar and the other on
the chicken loop to depower (save?) the kite while
they are going down the line. Have you guys tried
that?

Have fun

Yeah, but I hold the chicken loop in my teeth. That way I can flex for the camera with my free hand.
