Default Kite Surfing

While on vacation in Florida found these folks enjoying a sport Kite Surfing. It was exciting to watch and to try and photograph. Light from the wrong direction etc. It was lots of fun. This is the kite they used along with looked to be a wake board.

Looks like you got some great action. Too bad the sun wouldn't move where you needed it! Did you have to crop much with the 420mm lens (I assume a 300 with 1.4x)?

Yes these were shot with a 300 and extender. Yeah the sun was not my friend that day. We shoot for the oppurtunity. Thanks for looking and commenting. This guy was fun to watch.
