A Water Baby's Sport

I have a new fascination with kite surfing.   It is the newest sport that has captured the attention of Water Babies where I live, and I'm one of them. 

Where I live, the waters are choppy and there is plenty of wind.  There is also plenty of open water.  These ingredients make for great water fun, which is why we have so many sailors, windsurfers, and kite surfers in the area (we also have a lot of hang-gliders and para-gliders).

But really... How can this not look like fun? Being pulled along by a giant kite...

Able to be pulled up in the air and do all sorts of gravity-defying tricks (once your skill level supports it)...

This sport isn't cheap, so I've already started a savings account for equipment.  I'm hoping that soon I'll be on the water... Well... When it gets a bit warmer, I'll be on the water... And letting the kite pull me across the water.  Heck! I'm even looking forward to a few wipes outs on the water!
