This extreme sports enthusiast was out there a long time. I wonder how hard it is on the arms?
(Meanwhile, it was so windy I had trouble holding my phone.)

HARNESSING THE WIND! #GLOUCESTERMA KITESURFING AT GOOD HARBOR BEACH
A kitesurfer must have amazing athleticism, with an ability to balance on the kiteboard while also controlling the powerful kite. And withstand Gloucester’s current 36 degree water temperature.

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!

Daybreak Death Wish
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.
