Kitesurfer maximized today’s wind advisory off Long Beach #RockportMA

This extreme sports enthusiast was out there a long time. I wonder how hard it is on the arms?

Gorgeous kitesurfing on winter winds at Good Harbor Beach

It’s not something I see often on a cold January walk. Long before you reach the waters edge, from the road, out the window, across the marsh, colorful kiteboarding sails crisscross the horizon. What a visual treat and fun spectator sport. Treat yourself- go see!

Precarious Position

Would you or wouldn’t you?  I saw this photo on the weather.com the other day.

I don’t know about you, but after the holidays, I’m ready for a vacation.  I’m just not sure this would be it.

Just some extreme athletes taking a little break during the International Highline Meeting in the northern Italian Alps.
