Here’s some photos from an amazing kite trip to Chile last fall. Incredible blue water, cool cities (Valparaiso), super friendly people, side-trip into Patagonia, beautiful wind and waves. There were 15 kiters that I know of from HR, PDX, and the OR coast down there in November/December. Big thanks to Kirstan, Matt, Brad, Brian, and Scott for the great beta to help plan a perfect adventure. We kited 6 different spots on the Central Chile coast. Locals told us of even better places on both the north and south coasts.

Switch stance, board leash, ear protection, straps, helmet, hand on wrong side of the bar, and eye protection:  what a kook.
