Solana Beach | Photography | Kite Surfing !

Happy Wednesday to all of our faithful blog readers :)  Rob tells me that I have apparently been "slacking" on the blog writing lately.  I guess that's because I have so many fun photos to share that it's hard to decide where to start.

Well, here goes...  Funny story about Robert:
When we first started dating he was basically a computer geek with his fingers glued to the keyboard.  Although I think the Iphone has now replaced the computer as his newest appendage, he has gotten out more since we first met.  Most people that know Robert now, know that he loves outdoor activities, especially surfing and snowboarding. And he always complains that I don't let him engage in these activities enough.
Well,  just for the record he had never done either of those activities until I introduced it too him. LOL!  
Last week we witnessed kitesurfing for the first time, so I know it's only a matter of time until Rob takes up his newest outdoor sporting venture.  At least it produces some pretty cool photos.  
Here are a few photos we took near Solana Beach on a Super windy day.  Enjoy!

I love that from this perspective the the kites don't look much bigger than the seagulls.

But in reality, the kites range anywhere from 27-81 feet!

There were about 15 kitesurfers in the water at a time.  Wish we had the 14-24mm to capture it all :(

This wave totally consumed him!
