There was a stiff and chilly breeze at Lyall Bay beach this afternoon when I took the dogs for a walk. The kite surfers were out though — just one to start with, and 4 by the time I left.
Kite Surfer at Lyall Bay.
One surfer sped along towards the airport, then turned back and jumped high and long into the air.
That’s when I found my Flip mino video camera and kept an eye on him. After several recordings I managed to catch him again — first with some small jumps over the waves, and then high into the air again.
It’s not the world’s best video — I fumble in the middle, and there’s wind noise and a playful dog barking — but here it is in all its 30 second glory.

Well done! I know how hard it is to catch a kite surfer on video having tried in Tokolau. Both my sons love kite surfing and it’s easy to see why.
Thanks Rachel. It was trickier than you’d think. I thought my hat was going to blow away, had to keep an eye on 2 dogs, and one hand was occupied with a bag of dog poop.
That surfer was really on form though.
