Also known as kitesurfing.
Look at what I came upon last Tuesday morning while filming the wildlife at the footbridge end of Good Harbor Beach. The kitesurfing appeared death defying, particularly from where I was standing far down the beach; one kitesurfer especially seemed precariously close to Salt Island.
I would have loved to stay and continue photographing the three beautiful aerial/marine acrobats but I had been filming until the last possible moment and had to hurry off to work. The action that I did catch a glimpse of was simply stunning.

Good Morning Gloucester 
I’ve seen a few people doing this in the past. Always deeply entertaining to watch. It’s got to be a real thrill to do that kind of thing, that’s for sure. Great shots, Kim!
