Turbulent Big Bay and the 73 Year Old Kiter


Below find a picture of Fred. 
I met him emerging from Big Bay smiling from ear to ear.   
He told me he has been kiting "since the beginning" of the sport. He kites 120 days a year

He is 73 years old and tells me he plans to kite for another 10 years. Before taking up kiting he was a windsurfing champion in Germany.

Not enough to impress as yet - well it was a turbulent day at Big Bay. 4m deep sea swells at a 15 second wave period. See some pics from the day below. He told me he even kites in waves up to 5m! 

Bless you Fred - you rock dude !



Fred totally stoked after the session


Conditions on the day.

Turbulence !
