Bull Island - Kite Wind Surfer
About the Island: A small island built up over 200 years as a result
of the construction of the north harbour wall of Dublin Port, it has an
adjoining foreshore of sandy beaches, dunes, saltmarshes and mudflats. It is
connected to the land by a wooden bridge and a more recently constructed
causeway. The site is unique in Ireland because it supports well-developed
saltmarsh and dune systems displaying all stages of development from the
earliest phase of colonisation to full maturity. Its location as a UNESCO
Biosphere reserve within a capital city is also unique and it is classified as a
Wetland of International importance under the Ramsar Convention.
About Kite Wind Surfing (Wikipedia): Kitesurfing, also known as kite
surfing, fly surfing, and kiteboarding, involves using a power kite to pull the
rider through the water on a small surfboard, a wakeboard, or a kiteboard.

A kitesurfer uses a board with foot-straps or bindings, combined with the power
of a large controllable kite to propel himself and the board across the water.
However, this simplicity also makes kitesurfing challenging. A kitesurfer's body
is the only connection between the kite and the board. The kite is piloted in
the sky while the board is steered on the water.

The sport is still in its infancy, but is rapidly growing in popularity. In
2006, the number of kitesurfers has been estimated at around 150,000 to 200,000.

Check the Map:[view] for the exact
location.
Thanks for your time Folks.

Hi Janek,
Interesting shot! Dynamic and well balanced composition. I like the pose of the surfer and the tension on the wires. Very well done! Annie

Hi Janek: I am amazed that the surfer was able to pose like that and look into your camera while the kite was tugging him out to sea, this is one of your good humorous shots..... Dziekuje za przyjemnosc............Roman

Hi Janek,
Great shot my friend, those kite surfers are very active on the shore near by Haarlem to (Zandvoort & Bloemendaal) You captured him well excellent how the kite wires are part of the composition. Well seen and the Map is a real bonus, and excellent feature for TL!

Hello Janek!

Funny post. I would be tempted to title it. Before he goes....
As the kite seems to be in good position, and the wnd strong enough to pull him away (^_^).

Usefull note too!
Cheers!
Robert

Ladnie to opisales Janku i dobrze wyglada w perspektywie plazy i wody. Tez bym tak chcial ale pewnie by mnie porwalo w powietrze i tylko wstydu bym sie najadl:)))
Gratulacje - Tomek
PS
Tym razem Ty mi skojarzyles cos tym zdjeciem: dawniej pamietam jak pierwszy raz probowalem pojezdzic na nartach wodnych.....
start z wody - jak mnie wyrwalo to sie zorientowalem, ze narty chyba powinno sie zakladac na brzuch.......
