Kite Boarding

[mjs1973]

This is my first post in the sports photography forum. I shot these on Saturday at the Madison Kits on Ice Festival. There were kiters from all over the world there to participate. My first time ever seeing anything like this. The images are pretty grainy because I forgot my camera was set at ISO 1600 For those of you who have never heard of kite boarding, the ropes you see are attached to a large kite that the boarders or skiers use to pull them across the lake. They had some jumps set up for a free style exibition. This guy was getting some pretty good air.
