I took some pictures of a few guys kite surfing at Muriwai last night.
The guy with the Slingshot kite is Huge ( I think thats how you spell his name). Kiwi guy who says he just got back from Cape Town. Never seen him before.. none the less the pictures came out well...

If you would like full posters for your BAR.. let me know...lol

Madness

It's Hugh. He was leaving here in ChCh before he went for a trip overseas. Everybody knows him around here

The pics are very nice. I'm jalous - jealous that you get to kite and not us.

Great photo's 8)

they are mean photos, any chance of getting a few at higher resolution for my desktop? What sort of camera were they shot on?

Glad to hear you guys like the photos.
Feedback is always good as it makes standing on the beach worthwhile.

I have taken these photos on High res RAW format.
They are about 1.2 Megs each. 5 or 6 Mega Pixels
The ones on the site are low resolution for obvious reasons.

At the moment I have about 500megs left on my ADSL
(Frigging Edonkey sucked up 9 gigs in about 5 days.. ).
If you want them in HIGH res, let me know which ones you like
And I will email them from work.

I took some nice ones yesterday..
however I was told not to post them as its
A secret spot. Good to see most of Auckland having fun yesterday at secret spot Ians day ended in a bit of a shambles.. Venoms dont look good stuck in a tree. I have a few pics of the incident.. However adding Venom to the wound is not kosher. Foils ayyy.. lol
Hope it came down ok !!

Would you guys been keen on me creating a screen saver of kite surfing in New Zealand? Would any one like to host a download section for a screen saver?I dont have the bandwidth on my domains.

We dealt the hate to the tree and chopped the branch off Remember better the kite in the tree than me. Safety first.

PS i'll be posting the pictures soon enough
PSS If you want me to host any files decent & recent clips of local riders drop me an e-mail

I heard a rumour that a certain SS kite was in 2 pieces at the mo? Any truth in it?

HAHA.. and I thought I could keep that one quite.

Strange thing is the last time my wife told me she was pregnant I did the same thing.
Guess what she told me on Tuesday just before I ripped my kite !!! ??

'Stop kiting so much or I'll leave you'......?

Congrats. Now you have the chance to buy a decent kite as well
