Kite Surfing Longniddry

The images in this Gallery were taken in May 2009. I came across a couple of friendly guys who were catching some wind in Longniddry, East Lothian. Have only attempted to photograph Kite Surfing once before, it is a lot more difficult to frame a great image than might be imagined. As one of the guys told me, "you need to be in the water with the surfer above you". The portraits are of a frenchman called Noel Dumortier

Thanks for your assistance guys.
